Okay, we know how to refer to someone if their ride is really custom or coming close to it. But how do we refer to someone who prefers a stock vehicle? Or someone who only wants a *completely* stock vehicle? I use the words "stocker" and "purest", respectively, to indicate the difference. As an engineer, the two words are logical descriptors for me without any connotations attached elsewise. It seems that some people don't like the terms, that they feel they carry negative implications -- why, just because I'm a Dark Sider? Suppose I was a stocker then would they feel the same way? I doubt it! Hmmm.... Anyway, Iûî& hose that prefer the stock life need to get together and find a term they aren't offended by when it's used to describe them. Toby "Where's Gahndi when ya need him?"
