From Auburn Solstice on 5 September 2003:

Not that it matters, but I'm sitting here searching for information on how to 
replace my pcv valve and I came across your site. Just wanted to say that I 
got a kick out of your witty answers to some really obvious questions. Keep up 
the good work!!

From K E R B on 2 January 2003:

I know you guys are busy and provide this service as a labor of love, so
I'll keep this brief. THANK YOU. You have created something to be proud
of and I will contribute some info in the future that may be of value to
other visitors.

From Kim & her dawgz on 25 November 2002:

Stumbled across this by accident. Love it!
I have a black and wheat combo too. I love what you say about inferior 
breeds etc.

From Cathy Comet on 6 November 2002:

You'r sight seems to be very interesting, had a little problem reading it
through, would suggest that you chang e the color of the writing to a darker
color. Would be alot easyer to read.

From Bob Metz on 6 November 2002:

I _love_ your site.  If you're from Neptune, then I must be also -- your
commentary says exactly what I think about our car hobby.  I particularly
appreciate that you understand that we don't _have_to_ understand another
guy's point of view, but we can appreciate his enthusiasm (with some rare
exceptions -- such as the '85 Vette).

FWIW, I drive a couple of Lotuses, an '89 Esprit Turbo and a '70 Elan
convertible.

Thanks for putting the time into something so entertaining.

From David Muto on 24 May 2002:

This e-mail is a great big thanks for the priceless information you have
provided for the general public. If only there were more people like
yourselves.......

From Johnny Rebello on 24 May 2002:

HELLO TRIED YOUR WEB SITE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND I THINK YOU HAVE ONE OF THE BEST
SITES I HAVE BEEN ON KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND IT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.JOHNNY.

From someone who thinks we give a damn on 23 May 2002:

You have won me over, even with your (that certain orange charger) remarks, with your
cold-heartedness and your "I'm too good for you" attitude, keep up the good work
because we will always need an S.O.B. just like you to answer all the dumbass
questions people just seem to have to ask.

From Kathleen Menendez on 23 May 2001:

Hello,

Reference your charming critique, quoted in part below, I thought I'd
let you know the J. Wm. Fosdick piece is pyrography, aka, burnt wood or
fire etched.  

---------------quote on Fosdick
[snipped for space]
-------------endquote----------------------

I have never seen the piece in person.  I live near Washington, DC.  Is
it at the Smithsonian there?  I research this art form and write
articles about it.

Thanks for your critique.  You had a good time doing it, I'm sure.  :-)

Best regards,

From Ted and Brenda Quinn on 4 March 2001:

Love the pictures of your wonderful scottish family.  I have two girls
(mother and daughter) - Betsy and Molly (Betsy @ 5.5 yrs and Molly @ 2.5
years.  Betsy is the queen and Molly the challenging princess of our
household!  I'm going to try to e-mail you pictures of our girls.  We
managed to get Betsy's Canadian championship ... but alas Molly's too small
(only 15.5 lbs.) and TOO BAD to do anything in the ring other than look
absolutely beautiful and try and take on  every other dog in the ring!  I'm
the area Scottie Rescue rep. - have been a breed worshipper for the past 20
years since we got our first Scottie - they have such wonderful
personalities (and so what if my Betsy thinks the pots and pans in the oven
drawer are going to jump out and attack her Mom and so must be conquered?)
Here are our little sweethearts.

From Jamey Booterbaugh on 2 February 2001:

Dear Brian:
 
Are you the man who was responsible for the splendid "Jim's Journal" the DA 
featured oh so many years ago?  If you are, I commend you for your work.  
After the comic departed from the  paper, my roommate and I, both steady 
readers of the stellar strip, lamented the fact that our beloved Jim's  Journal 
was gone.
 
"You know what's good?" he used to say.
"What?"
"Jim's Journal."
"You're right," I'd say.
 
Regardless of you're the writer of that strip or not, as a WVU PI Reed graduate, 
I send you greetings. Impressive resume, by the way.

From East Coast Tim on 20 January 2001:

i cheched out yer site. it looks pretty good. do you mind if i use some of 
your pics on my site for the east coast f-body nationals. the pic i was 
looking at was the kinda angle view of the car sitting on the country road. 
that is a really sweet shot. i will make the pic link back to your site as i 
have done with most of the other pics on the site.

thanks

From Mark Shuttlesworth on 10 January 2001:

The photos of your scotties are great....

I have two of my own, Avery and Murphy, who are wonderful little guys.
Thanks for posting the photos.

From Bill Barnes on 2 January 2001:

allo,

    great page.  hope i never piss you off via a venue in which you can publicly 
ridicule me!!!  i laughed quite a bit at your replies to the certain orange charger 
comments...  especially the top 10 list.  good stuff.

From a Mopar nut called "snake" on 24 November 2000:

LOVE this site guys, I have one just like it, SAME COLOR TOO! i've done alot of glass
and bondo work, had a 72 charger, and had to sell it after $8030.00 of down the
drainage...... also have a 72 dutster- my kids call it the trusty dusty, and as for
my charger, lets just ay it ROCKS! You've got one heck of a great car there guys,
take care of it (as you are) and good luck! By the way, there is ALOT of sneaky rust,
so don't wait too long to patch it up! 
CYA!

From Mike Wilson on 23 October 2000:

Although I am not a party to a class action, I am a Master Certified
Auto Mechanic, and do try to gather information on many automotive
related products and services.To date, your web site and info has been
some of the most honest, unbiased, and comprehensive
sources I have viewed or read to date. Keep up the GOOD work and feel
free to e-mail me with any related information.   Sincerely, Mike.

From Dave Horey on 25 August 2000:

Hey guys,
  Great job with the site!  I am also a Lotus fan without having one, and I
think that it is a noble effort that you undertook putting this up.  Perhaps
you should make Lotus aware of the site and ask for a discount!

Great job,

Car Craft is pretty much the coolest car magazine out there these days. Filled with carbys and V8s and rear-by-God-wheel-drive, they first appear to be like many other hot rodder type zines. But their last editor, David Freiburger (we liked this guy so much, we can spell his name without looking it up), took Car Craft a step beyond the rest by declaring that there would be no more bull. Real prices, real buildups on real cars that real people can buy. While they have had their deviations from this, they quickly became the frontrunner magazine for enthusiasts who actually have tools in their garage, not Lexus-powered trailer queens. By some miracle, Freiburger got promoted rather than canned and we weren't too sure about his replacement, this Matt King guy. But so far so good. Stay the course, Matt.

Matt won fans here at Neptune when, in his inaugural issue, he included a writeup on Paradise Garage. It's on page 12 of the August 2000 issue, and we've included a scan of the actual newsbrief to the right. We're not sure where they got the idea that we're Canadian (we're in Virginia), but nevertheless this is a huge honor for us. It's sort of like reading the Bible and suddenly discovering you'd been singled out in Genesis. Thank you, Matt, and thank you, Car Craft!

From John LeBlanc on 6 July 2000:

Hey guys......
Thanks for the cool like in your tech section at Paradise Garage.
I was amazed to find us there. Saw a post from Bry (MA f-body mailing list)
about being in Car Craft and went to check things out.

Nice job, congrats on the Car Craft publicity AND thanks for making my day
(me stumbling over that link)

From Kristen E. on 20 January 2000:

(For the record - I rarely am motivated enough to e-mail anyone I don't know, 
so this is pretty remarkable for me. I'm also sure you're thrilled.)

I've lived in Washington, DC, for the past few years. I've carefully avoided 
all but the occasional "Lev"atribe, until this week. I kept being drawn to 
them like a magnet and after reading them, feeling like my head was going to 
explode.

I hate him.

So, just this evening, I said to my friend, "I know, I'll start a website! 
I'll name it www.ihateboblevey.com or fireboblevey.com or 
bobleveyistheultimateinsiderwashingtonjerk.com or ....." I'll assume you get 
the picture.

Imagine my mixture of glee tainted with a dollop of disappointment to find 
your site. But no matter - I love it. Too bad you're not here anymore. You 
would have heard him just today defend the "honor" of an idiot woman 
(probably a turn-signal impaired SUV owner) who left her Union Station 
parking garage ticket IN her car, ate lunch, returned to her car and got 
ticked off at the minimum wage earning parking lot attendant for charging her 
$12 for not having the ticket validated.

I have to quote - "But the Golden Rule is the best reason why the parking 
company should change its ways.

"This was a woman who made a simple mistake. Why soak her for it? Do parking 
attendants never make potentially expensive mistakes?

"Here's a hiss, with cheese on top, for a policy that's rigid, greedy and 
wrong."

I also have to iterate - I hate him.

Thanks for the site. 

On January 3, 2000, SN95.com selected Joshua's 1995 Mustang GT as Car of the Month. It looked like this:

Car of the Month

01/03/2000 - Joshua 95 GT This nice GT is not extensively modified, but as you would see, it has most of the bolt-ons you can buy and then some. Most of the stuff is there, cat-back, headers, pulleys,etc. We think this is a fine example of what MOST people can afford, or execute in a reasonable time period. Last but not least, his site is full of fine written tech articles.

I love all of the pictures of Taz and Heather!!  They certainly have
things under control, I'd say!  My FAVORITE picture is the one of Taz
full of pine needles, brambles, or SOMETHING that isn't usually found on
Scotties!! Too cute!!

-- They are very cute nice web page Is it warm down there

Yep, looks like Taz and Heather have everything under
control.  And that picture with the two of them guarding
Col. Mosby is a keeper.  Yeah, ya just gotta love em!!!
AROOOO!

After hours of browsing (literally) digging for
information on how to make a daily driver of my 1970
Lemans, I came accross your website.  The info sure
proved to be helpful to one working with no manual,
but between this site and a very few other links I
managed without one (especially the shift kit and
header articles thanks).  I enjoyed reading the
spacebears racing journals, not only informative but
fun to read as well.  And thanks, I'll never put
slack50 in my car :o).  BTW the car is running well
after the latest 3 angle valve job and here are the
results that you've helped me achieve

HP= 350 @ 4600
Tq= 420 ft-lbs @ 2800

1/4= 13.95 @ 99 MPH

Not bad I guess for a 3500 lb car using a standard
torque converter, of course I could stand some improvement.

Mr. Brian!
When you call someone a sloped head, make sure you know what person you
are saying it to..:) The letter was from my wife...:) So, she's the
sloped head!(smile) Women-you gotta love 'em! So I guess I am one up on
you...:) No offense taken on the response. Keep up the good work!  

You really should change the name of this page. I was looking for
something about cave paintings for my son. He needed it for school. Wow,
what a waste. Really thought I had found something useful. Oh well, Back
to the "drawing board". Oh, by the way, your site is pretty cool. Kind
of interesting so I guess not all was a total loss...:) Keep up the good
work! Are you sure the Charger is not for sell???

Hey i ordered a set of those CAT back exhaust systems for my mustang
and i am embarrassed to say im a Engineering Major
with a physics minor and i feel like a idiot
i tried snaking the tail pipes over the rear axles and could not fit
them thru and it wasnt untill i saw your web page when i snaped
i was holding up the car on the differential what a MORON!
So i feel like a MORON for not seeing i was rasing up the axle closer
the the undercarrige and taking away room that i needed to snake them in
My pride is hurt really bad but thanks to you guys i know why it didnt
fit
 Thanks Bros keep up the good work on the cars and the WEbpage
 Many thanks and May you have Low ETs thanks man .

I just found this web site the other day, and I gotta tell ya I love
it.  The certain Orange Charger debates crack me up.  Shoot when I was a
kid I loved the show I loved the car, or rather the nostalgia of it. but
the paint job or rather pain job sucked.  It sucked then it sucks now,
as long as people have vision in color it will probably always suck  I
just got my own 71 charger out of a junkyard for 100 dollars the body
might have a ping dent on it somewhere but I didn't see it and I'm a
body man still has the original gold paint on it but the car is stripped
and I mean stripped it's just a body I'm considering anything on it more
than the body a bonus.  I bought the car cause I thought it looked cool
and could be resurrected, but I don't have a lot of money to work with
here is there any guide that will tell me what parts off what cars will
work?  As I believe I'll be working allot out of dollar you pull it junk
yards.  Well I appreciate any advice you can give and I'll keep coming
back.
p.'s. Seen allot of talk about 70 and pre 70 chargers doesn't anyone
like the 71?  Doesn't really matter bought the car for myself not anyone
else but I wondered if it was Collectable or ever would be.  I myself
was a chevy man till I saw it,  hee hee I'm not sure but I believe I
popped wood over it and the price was right.  Well that's all for now
hope your still responding to these letters.  Oh ya sorry if my
punctuation, spelling, or grammar suck it's 3 in the morning and I don't
care.

Congratulations on a fine looking site. It's delightful to see that
there are so many interesting links to, shall we say, interesting people
and ideas. Keep it up, and pretty soon people will post cave drawings
for free!

Cheers to Neptune - a spectacular website that has so much to offer.  I
especially enjoy the results of your talented photography.  Your hard work has
not gone unnoticed.

Bravo, Bry.  A site that's practical is becoming a rare find now that the
Internet is starting to rot a little.  Keep this one healthy and you'll
keep us coming back.

Also, I want to mention that if you're out there on the road and you
insist on crawling along at the speed limit or close to it, get the [heck]
out of the left lane.  I'm tired of having to ride my brakes along behind
you just so I can do something explicitly illegal and pass you on the
right.  Make these situations win-win, not lose-lose, OKAY?

Thanks.

Great job Bry! I still say you have entirely too much time on your hands! And
kudos for your thoughts on that "Certain Orange Charger."  In reality, it was
a trashed old 318 2bbl slug, with which the background was clocked faster than
the car!

This is a great site, although some of the references to me are just the
least bit insulting.  All in all, however, a fine effort.

Neptune is fun and interesting Web site.

Your web site is cool.  I like all the REALLY cool auto-related stuff. 
Keep it coming! :)
