(Quote) PHILO FEAR AND LOATHING IN Y-BLOCK LAND!
It seems to me that the fear of speaking or writing the C word in this forum is completely paranoid and bogus!
Your '54 Ford looks great with that Chevrolet grille! (end quote)
 Philo, i think 8 lashes may be appropriate??

I'm more of a hot rodder, so I don't get as bent about Chevy's...In general, they're too common and often a safety net for ease and budget...whatever! I'm here because of the wealth of help and knowledge, and hopefully the ability to contribute from time to time. By I use the parts that work and contribute my finished "vision"... My F-100 has CHEVY derivative column from Ididit, a Cadillac engine/transmission, Calipers from a Monte Carlo, rear end from a Lincoln, and 4 3/4" Chevy bolt circle on all the wheels...I'm not sorry...It goes really well and gets a lot of attention.

Back in the early 60s, when I was a no-nothing teenage "pump-jockey", the older scrub guys who hung around the gas station often made rude Ford jokes (the "fix-or-repair-daily" cliche was common). Out of frustration, and with no inherent wit, I blurted out that I had brought my Chevy tools along (dustpan & broom). To my astonishment, they all became quiet and looked down. I had apparently hit a nerve.

My often used remark when around those orange colored engines is" Where,s the chain?". Then they ask what chain? and i reply" thats attached to the boat! ".

When I first saw television almost 60 years ago, other brands were always referred to as brand X in commercials. Now commercials mention the brand by name and I think the commercials are more effective. I don't see anything wrong with mention of other makes. I don't think any of us would be here if we didn't have a fascination with y-blocks. However, anyone who has a funny acronym, lets hear it. I'm always in the mood for a laugh.

I guess this is a newbie question, but what does scrub stand for?

Hey guys, I throw myself on the mercy of the court. I made the comment about the grille on Shawniverse's '54. I guess it must have been a moment of weakness. I'm 68 years old and have never owned anything but fords. By way of punishment let me suggest 20 lashes with a strand of wet spanish moss.

Well, i think you,ve shown remorse and wont do it again, so one lap around the block in a Ch*^*# should be punishment enough!
