I know your pain, although I am much older than 21 My dad is into chevelles and has been since before I was born. I went to many a car show with him and even into my 30's a lot of "those" guys would look me at as a kid and dismiss anything I asked or said, no matter how intelligent or correct it was, as a dumb question or statement. It still pisses me off to this day. Not all of them were like that, but most were. Heck a lot of them didn't even like my dad and his chevelle because it wasn't anything close to stock. it is one of the reasons I like the truck crowd even though I'm new to it. Far more diverse and open group. At the recent Good Guys in Texas I asked a gentleman about his blazer that I thought was pretty cool. Guy must have been in late 60's or so and was just eager as could be to talk about it and ask what I was doing and encouraged me to keep it up. That is what I like about this group.

"Kid" is a relative term though. My kids are 20 and late teens now, but as I mentioned, those muscle car guys still look at me as a kid. Besides it isn't just "kids" that screw stuff up. Worse case he knew it was bad and sold it as such. best case he didn't know it was bad or maybe he didn't do it himself and didn't know one way or the other if it was right or wrong and you just got unlucky.

While I'm not defending the seller, it is a pretty broad stroke to say 'those dumb kids' and 'their crap'. It probably wasn't so long ago when many older folk would balk at what you did or even what you do now to you vehicles. a classic 50's truck on an s10 frame? oh the horror!
