Re: General Date Code Question
Really?? Is that what does it? Next Advanced Judging School I will have to ask everyone about their lineage.
On a more serious note: My opinion is that the six month rule serves us all very well. Yes it is a generalization, but on the other hand the worst thing a judge can tell an owner is: "I made a deduction because your car is not like all the others I have seen." Or worse yet: " .....because this part is not like the part that is on my car."
Please note those statements are very different from: "This item is not Typical Factory Production because it differs in xxxxx way." Both statements may wind up with the same score sheet deduction, but the explanation is night and day different. And I submit the effect on the car owner will be night and day different as well.
