It’s a shame to hear that. Why one would have to be deemed ‘immature’ to continue a hobby or preference for....what is clearly a love for a piece of American pride, workmanship and dominance at a point in its history? It’s amazing how some on this forum can reconcile on some subject thread topics and can’t see the forest through the trees on another. Just because you (generalization) don’t like something doesn’t mean it’s wrong, ‘immature’ or inconsiderate. I find the noise coming off of a pickle ball court more offensive than I do some random American muscle cars emit at times. So if one lives next to a pickle ball court....should they deem participants ‘immature’ or are they just trying to remain relevant and youthful? -Anonymous
