History What Is The Hamb????

[roddin-shack]

I was at a small car show on Saturday and a spectator observed my HAMB licence plate tag. He then asked the question . What is the HAMB? I was stunned, I almost blurted out it is just a web site that I belong to. I hesitated because it hit me that it is more than just a web site to me and a lot of other HAMBERS. It took me almost 15 minutes to explain it to him along with a few other interested car guys,that had gathered around. This incuded all the advantages with out getting into the friends you meet on the HAMB adventure. Point is we sometimes take it for granted without appreciating what we have here.

I think we may have a couple of new members soon.

I had my HAMB shirt on at the Lonestar Roundup and someone asked me what HAMB meant, they had no clue. I was kind of shocked being the Roundup.

the hamb started out as just a web sight to me but as i got more into it.it has become almost a way of life.and that kinda interfers with me being a hardcore biker.lol

I'm not a hardcore biker. Not much of anything gets hard at my age. But all I was on till lately was several bike sites and station wagon site. The bike sites took more time than I should have wasted.
Then someone told me repeatedly I should check out this H.A.M.B thing. Somehow I scewed up and it took three days to get on. A minor spacing in my site name caused it. Even had to get Ryan out of his sick bed to help. Among many things I'm not, I'm not a computer whizz.

In the two weeks or less I've been here I've learned a lot, which old dogs ain't supposed to do. Sent a bunch of messages and most have replied, even asking me questions. Makes me feel good! Haven't been many places but have met many of the old guys who started this hobby and many of the vendors. Feels like home already.

But now I feel sort of sad. My intellegent intro was mostly overlooked. And I write too much shit. I jumped right in and started making comments, sometimes about crap I probably no longer remember. Yet no one has been rude, bashed me or called me names. You don't love me!

I went thru a lot of trouble going to the Florida Keys just to take that picture. Then I had to cut and paste each car into it. My avatar does not suck! But I do feel better. Thanks for caring!

ITS MY BIBLE.....It to me is a learning and social group, That helps me. I try to help people with problems I have came across in my yrs, and MANY people have helped me with problems I have had. I tell EVERYONE about HAMB. I'm completely into the history and stories of yrs before my time. Its great to tslj to people that actually lived it. I'm only 40 so i missed the great eras. But that is the stuff I am interested in....My wife calls HAMB my girlfriend ....I am addicted to the endless knowledge from every GEARHEAD out there....THANKS TO ALL JEFF

we wouldnt be building the car in the garage if it wasnt for this site. its and endless encyclopedia

I was asked by a friends wife one day. I told her it stands for Humping A Monkey Backwards. She almost choked laughing.

I finally explained the best I could, but I think she liked the first description better.

I find myself having to "warn" people about the potential for rudeness toward new people more and more all the time, do any of you feel that way? Seems there has been alot more bashing on here and a lot less help in the last year or two. Jim

Haha. This place is like Times Square, it's cleaned up so much from the early days.

Even in the HAMB people need to be told over and over that it's a tradional forum. It has changed alot over the years, and we are constantly being attacked by ratrodders and streetrodders, so in a way we are helping people by being rude to them, either you have it or you don't, you cry about it or you get over it and listen carefully to what this place is about.

...and Thank You Roddin-Shack for not blurring out the license plate! That's a pet peeve of mine

I find most of the bashing is justified by some of the dumb questions, I still find the obtained information invaluable, some of the comments hilarious and entertaining. The actual live bodies I have met are pretty cool too.

Thats due to people spending way more time on here and less time outside turning wrenches

I have found this place to be very friendly, only bashing I ever had was from a new guy with three posts.
