I removed his channel from my feed.Well said. I unsubbed as well. Kind of a bummer because he comes across as a likeable guy. But it is what it is.
I refuse to support someone that blatantly creates controversy just to generate clicks.
I’d rather watch honest creative content.
i dont care much about the video or u.t. but did you guys know he used to work for a big time race program that ran sohc engines back in the day!He did mention that. He talked about how the camshaft timing was a real pain and that the cure was the gear drive that, I think Sneaky Pete Robinson designed for it. UT tried finding that set-up while he was working on that deal but was unsuccessful.
410Bruce.Right. My legs work too, and I unsubscribed earlier.
If some UT members are so set in their ways that they label Ford owners in such a derogatory manner it makes me wonder what it is they have experienced to make them think this way.
If the members at UT website are so against Ford, and Ford owners in general, it makes we wonder why I would want to attend a party where I am not welcome?
When I am confronted by these single minded, single make, hate filled types it gives me reason to reflect on all my car buddies, and their spouses, and their kids, who are NOT anything like that regardless of the make, model, or other.
There are simply too many good car people out there having too much car fun to be bothered much by the types who pet the cat backwards as their choice of action.
You don't like me because I drove up in a Ford?
You don't like me because I arrived in a Galaxie?
You think I'm stupid because I enjoy these cars?
You know what I just realized?...You are a jerk, and my legs still work.
If any GM, Mopar, or AMC zealots (fortunately there are not too many who are THAT over the top) get too pushy with their rhetoric I always seem to quiet them by asking one question.
How many LeMans races has (fill in the blank) won?
Whenever I come across "information" on a website I ALWAYS try to keep focused on what the website operator is trying to accomplish.Very well thought out response, cleandan. What I would like to see happen is, one of the knowledgeable heavy hitters in the Ford camp release a video showing UTs ignorant and sometimes outright false statements on what really transpired in Grand National and NHRA racing in the 1960s through present day. I have neither the talent nor the means to do so.
In most cases they are trying to garner clicks to generate income...and the rest can be figured out later.
Never forget Uncle Tony is working to generate clicks as his first and foremost intent.
His incorrect information on the site certainly does generate clicks and participation as many will participate there to either agree or set him straight...all while Tony hears the cash bell dinging as the "debate" rages.
The other thing I do is ask myself a few questions.
1) Do I have to be right on this internet site?
2) Will my correct information remove the incorrect information, or will it simply become noise in the background of this poor site?
3) Will my efforts to correct the mistakes change any minds?
In today's mentality of believe what feels good and makes me happy I don't see any minds being changed regardless of the tangible proof and evidence.
Yup, you found Uncle Tony's Garage wrong yet again...and you sort of knew it was probably going to be suspect at best, and likely wrong already, so why bother getting involved because the past has proven to garner no change in how that site operates.
The line from the song "The Boxer", by Simon and Garfunkel, comes to mind here.
"Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest."
I think that sums up what is happening on that site (and all over for that matter) as the site generates clicks and income for Uncle Tony.
You never win conversations/arguments like that, so it's best to let them just think that they are right.I tend to agree with you, Brent. What's irritating to me though is, many people who watch UTG and aren't familiar with Fords history will believe this junk.
There's so much false stuff floating around the internet and for some reason, it just gets forwarded and passed down for years, by a bunch of guys who think they know what they're talking about.
I recently acquired this oil pan, it came with a 445" package deal. The guy claimed he made it to go in a foxbody. Rory this sounds similar to the oil pan you describe?
If one of you fox body guys needs it, I'd sell it. I have no use for it, just had to buy it with the rest of the parts.
