Stopped at a car show tonight.

For every one dink like the ones you ran across there are 10 great folks that are truely interested in hearing about your car and asking questions.

This has been my experience, also. For the most part I enjoy the show and the interaction with spectators. There is always a few idiots, but they are usually the minority.

The mental midgets with the I have a faster, better, ... don't phase me. It's the restoration snobs that come by and start with that not the: right color, right wheels, right interior, etc and I go I know and they go "so why did you do that?" that drive me nuts. It usually shuts them up with "it's my car and I wanted it that way and if I had to have it stock I would have sent it to the crusher".

*snicker* My car is a low mileage original paint car, but the paint is thin & it has plenty of parking-lot dings. All of the underhood markings and even the paper labels are still there, as is the shoddy underhood paint & detailing that came from the factory. It's a chestnut brown 318 car.

Last cruise-in I was at, I ran into a feller who has a 340 demon that is 100% restored. He hassled me for an hour, insisting I must leave the car in it's current state because it's an unmolested time-capsule......wish I had your line handy then. :laughing:
