How is it dumb? It's a front receiver hitch for a winch. That's not dumb.

I'm pretty sure he meant "this is a dumb question, but..."

As someone who's asked many dumb questions over the years, I was quick to recognize his meaning.

Agreed. He wasn't calling the front receiver dumb. He was just wondering what it was for.

Re: 1988 chevy resto project

that's exactly right why else would I say dumb and then put a ? at the end of it unless I was ASKING if it was DUMB not saying it. If I said it there'd be no question mark and you'd all know I said it.

whether I like it or not I was just wondering why.

Re: 1988 chevy resto project
