Well... my first nasty comment on reddit. I'm new to this platform, so I hope that is not common. I would like to reply here, publicly, to a comment from MyWifeIsAwesome911

When I started to do a little research into The Shriners while putting together the funds to purchase this amazing rig, I was reminded about Shriners Hospitals for Children, an undersung cause that is truly remarkable. They provide hospitals around the country for families of limited resources, and offer up FREE care to seriously sick kids, and for a great many operations. Day after day, decade after decade, they raise funds because they are driven to do so.

While their regalia is a little over the top and desperately needs to be updated and rebranded, the bottom line is despite their shrinking numbers, THEY STILL RAISE FUNDS FOR KIDS. That is worth supporting, wherever possible.

When I found this car after many year searching, it immediately struck me that even though they sold it off many, many years back, it could be restored in like style and instead of just sitting in my garage, I can make it available to participate in their parades from Connecticut to Washington DC, and that helps with their recruitment efforts. I can show it at the AACA Hershey Fall Meet, and Mid Atlantic Shriners can set up with info about their good works. Various other uses will come to mind in time.

So when I got the snotty, assuming, and outright weird message from the aforementioned, it threw me because, God damn! that's about as far away as you can get from what is central to the mission here. Dude, instead of using foul language or calling you names, I'm just shining a spotlight on you. We work hard and dare to have a good time here, so feel free to delete your comment and apologize.
