Oh great, now you're gonna get the car guys going - I'm a GM guy, and I can tell you that the grand generalization you are extolling is most likely based on absolutely no statistics. Talk to an old 'Vette owner - I think the phrase you are really looking for is a "numbers matching" resto - and anybody can do that, show me some numbers that prove the Mopar guys have this locked up...

"Numbers matching" means very little. All that means is that it has the original block, transmission, fender tag, etc., and maybe it has a broadcast sheet. And no, the word I was looking for was "concours" [restoration], which is why I used it.

And you're right, I was simply taking a jab at Ford and GM guys. If there are statistics, I'm not interested in finding them. Consider it as a facetious remark.

You couldn't even break those little spot welds Cheffo? Maybe you need a bigger hammer, or some more beans behind it (lol).

It works fine. You would need to explain why it doesn't work, logically, in order for you to have an argument here—you know, rather than simply proclaiming it "as thus."

Besides the notion that you've defined trap inclusive with bait?

Impossible. In an argument, you can't both have someone "by the Pavlovian bells", and be on the wrong side of the argument, simultaneously.

Additionally, in case you haven't noticed, arguing is one of my favorite things to do, which further negates the "bait/trap" aspect...e.g., "Ha, you fell into my trap. I left money on the table with your name on it, as bait, and you took it! Wait until you see my next trap!"

Yeah, we know you love to argue. We're all taking advantage of that. C'mon Pavlov, shake those bells.

Is there more popcorn?

Say what? I defined so-called "bait" without as trap as simply "free food". In other words, if you claim to be baiting someone or something, yet there is no trap, then you aren't really baiting, now are you? You are just setting something out there free for the taking.

You do realize that I could say the exact same thing to you, right? As you think on that a bit, and the light bulb above your head begins to glow, I expect you'll come to the realization that your child-like sense of reasoning has failed you yet again.
