Unpopular opinion. I'm so frustrated I hate car shows/cruises.

You are right! If this is what this hobby has become it is not for me.

But many of the other comments on this lead me to believe it is likely the area and the population around here and my experiences would be better elsewhere.
You may be right. It could be a location thing. I've never seen or heard anyone "around here" complain or ***** about someone's car at a chow or cruise in. In fact, that'd never cross my mind to do, nor have I ever even thought of it until this thread.
