Put my car in a car show yesterday... Was not as fun as I thought it would be

I have been doing the car show/cruise in thing since 1989 every car was built by myself and friends to my liking I don't care what others say [opinions are like assholes everybody has one and most of em stink]. I go for the other cars, to look around, maybe get some ideas that I could modify to use on my car and to talk to other gearheads. There way too many people that attend these things that are [trophy/attention whores] and are real problems if they don't get their way. I only attend one Mopar only event every year because the man is a friend, an all around great person, a fellow Mopar collector and I always have a great time at his event [yes there are a few nose in the air folks there] but they are everywhere. I love this hobby more than anything [except family] and nothing will spoil it for me I don't have much money to spend on my car [never have never will] but i'm proud of what I do have and I love showing it off!!! Don't let the bad comments spoil it for you or like Inkjunkie said "if you can't take the bad with the good, then don't go". I'm here to tell ya out of 25 people that look at your car 10 may know what it is 5 may have a story 2 may know about Mopars! My car is 47 years old mostly original with a cosmetic restoration done in 1996 it's far from a show car but I go to every show/cruise in I can afford to go to, it's my relaxation and my passion!!!!! Just go and have fun!!!! 68 hemi GTS drag racing is way cool, but I was raised to go around in circles [grew up around mini stocks, figure eights and late models]!!!!!!!!!!!!
