I'm not a hater (but am a little stubborn and outspoken, hence the appearance of snobbish)....

(I realize you're poking fun and not taking it all tooo seriously)

I am an old fart that gets headaches from the fumes and noise at nitro races.

While not a fan of the Gore style political takeover of internal combustion engines and making them evil, I am a realist. Electric is the way of the future in the real world, and from an electrical engineering education point of view, I think participating in these electric conversion projects is priceless.

Thank you for sharing your view, and I appreciate the input.
