Default Sorry I have to ask this question

As our cars that we love get older and more worn with each year, is it turning us into cranky old men right along with them? I have only been here about 3 years but it seems like the discourse has gotten a little more harsh as of late. Maybe it's just the political season.

Not just Rennlist , customers and vendors at work all seem to be in an extra pissy mood. Economy is stalling and the margin pressure is coming back fast.

Wow. I have recently been thinking how civil it has become around here compared to four or five years ago.

I was a cranky, fat, white-haired guy long before Rennlist. Now I'm a cranky, fat, old white-haired guy, since Rennlist.

All the blame rests on you guys.

I claim the right to be cranky. Dr. Bob says he has white hair. I'm a seventy-seven year old fart with great pride in my bald head.
