You really are hung up on the 'mature' thing! sorry thinking out loud, Nobody on this list minds questions, thats what this list is about, learning how to do and fix and preserve the cars that we love.
I believe that the list as a whole has done it's part to help young Chad in his quest for knowledge! but it becomes a time when some of the simplest questions that get asked, a person that doesn't know a bicycle from a backhoe would know! There comes a time when a person needs to research on there own, there isn't anything that the lad has asked that he couldn't have plugged into his browser and come up with a Thousand web sites devoted to his question! I fancy myself some what of an expert on the 66 SS, because that is the car that I own, and most of my information has come in the form of many hours researching, and the many many books I have purchased, and the many hours, weeks, days spent taking apart and putting this car back together. Nothing pleases me more than to be able to answer a persons question about a Chevelle regardless of the year, and yes I think it's great that young folks take a hand in preserving these cars that someday will only be found in a mueseam. Only older folks mess with these cars, your mostly right, the reason is that it takes a wad of cash to restore one of these cars to it's original glory! and on the other hand it takes as much money for those who race on the track, it takes as much money to make a car go really fast, high performance speed equipment doesn't come cheep. And that leaves the kid in the rust bucket and glasspacks, who's only goal in life is to spin the wheels off his car, and he doesn't have the means or the desire to aquire, or even care that a 1966 396/375hp engine had a Holley R-3613A carb, part number 3893229. Ever try to price one of these babys that date coded? don't get me wrong, there are lots of young folks who wish for and restore these cars, but the fact of the matter is older people are the ones who do this because they are the ones who can afford to. But anyways, we love to answer questions about these cars, and love to teach about what it takes, to take one apart and put it back together. My point to all this is, we have as a group have answered many many of his questions, and it has come to the point in time where an Eleven or Twelve year old kid has worn us a little thin, I'm not the only one. it just gets a little old answering Five Thousand questions, when the only thing he is going to remember tommorow is the picture of the frame with the Twenty Five inch tires on it and think cool, bet that thing will really smoke em. His summertime boredom has just taken it's toll on quite a few folks here Thats my opinion on the subject and the last that I will ever speak of it!!! I am sorry if I have offended anyone.
