Default The Golden Rule

I went to my last show of the year and had the worst experience of my short 2 year career with the Xfire. I was in Import class and a guy with a Lambourghini Countach parked next to me and put his ID sheet in the window. It said 1990 Countach, etc. I took a closer look and noticed that the finish was not up to Lambo standards, then noticed it was 4/5 the size. Turned out it was a kit car with a Chevy crate motor on a hand built tube chasis. So when I questioned the guy about trying to pass it off as the real deal, he refused to open the hatch to display the motor, he became very offensive. I told him that the Golden Rule is you don't lie about your car and pointed out the Cobra replicas all said Factory Five replica, etc. Then his entire family {father and three brothers} all came over in intervals and gave me crap about me being in the wrong class, being a Chrysler with a MB motor. When I explained that they are essentially MB with AMG engine built in Germany, they told me I was full of ****, thus displaying their collective ignorance, and continued to utter ignorant remarks every time I was near one of them. To make matters worse they didn't even know how to pronounce Countach correctly. Thus proving one of my theories, you CAN get a drivers license without having a functional central nervous system.
