Hello all,

I'm going by the name of "Opinyawn" as my opinions will probably put you to sleep! I'm a 70 yr. old retired school teacher who has built classic Chevy's & Corvettes , but owns a Supercharged Roush Mustang and a 2012 F150 Ecoboost 4x4 crew cab at present. Sorry, but I'm one of those guys that likes any brand of car/truck/gun... if it does it better! I've been a varmint hunter & accuracy shooter for 50 years enjoying guns & gun sports, but I'm not a "Gun Nut"! I love horsepower, but am against street racing as a selfish, childish act that risks other people's lives!

As an ex-teacher of biology, history & political science I taught my students to base all their Opinyawns in "fact" not simply unproven opinions & myths. I think that's even a good idea as related to trucks, cars, guns, and even politics. By fact I mean: "Data that can be proven to be accurate to any reasonable man!" Most of what we call fact in an argument is just our opinion! Just ask my wife! LOL!

Look forward to chatting with you all,

Opinyawn

Yup! An occupational hazard... being windy & having opinions!
