Overheard at a car show

Ever notice that it's not just the ignorant but the snobs, too? "I have something you don't have?" kinda thing. Our first trip to Carlisle back in '96 was a good example of this. Stood in one of the buildings watching a guy polish his car with a diaper, treating everyone like crap. I forget what it was specifically, but a Challenger of this color, with this color interior and this color stripe, with these wheels and a luggage rack, and thanks to mistake from the factory it was the only one of these to ever come like this missing the left exhaust tip... people were asking questions about his car or complimenting it and he was blowing them off when two guys came up, had to be father and son, looking like they had gotten off the John Deere in the parking lot when the younger of the two (had to be about 15, 16 years old) started complimenting the car.
"Nice car, Mister."
"Yeah, it is," the guy with the diaper replied. (No "thank you" just a statement of fact for this guy...)
"Wow, Dad, I hope our Hemicuda turns out this nice when we're done."
That was when the guy with car dropped his diaper.
My Pop and I couldn't help it, but cracked right up. We don't know if they were jerking his chain or not, but the look of shock on his face that these two farmers might have a Hemicuda sitting at home was worth it.

I support the cars I've done by going to shows with them. The judges (on a local level) can be just as ignorant. Did a '65 Mustang GT notchback, factory 289/4speed car for a kid that we put in the open Mustang class and he had points deducted because, according to the judges, Ford never made a GT notch, even as a they were awarding points to a GT350 clone that started life as a 200/auto car.
Or people who look at Pop's '54 Ford 239 OHV, with the hood open! and ask if it's a flathead. Or the ones, who find out that's its a three on the tree with the overdrive, say 1.) that's a funny looking auto shifter; or 2.) they never made an overdrive for that, what it got a Gear Vendors?
Heard one kid at a car show look at flathead V12 Packard from one side of the car and say to his buddy "hey, look it's a flathead slant 6!" Or the guys looking at the hot rods with flatheads in 'em and state "shoulda put a smallblock Chevy in it."
