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

I've never had my '74 to a car show, its never been photographed by people (and people have never asked to have their picture taken with it).

I had people nit-pick about it not being correct (back when it wasn't a 71 Clone. Back then the exterior was all '74). Did that hurt? A little, because it is my baby and I was proud of it. Did it really bother me enough to not drive it? No.

What I enjoyed, was that people would wave and give me the thumbs up as I drove it around. What made me even happier, was when some kid on a bicycle stopped and yelled "Light em up!" when I was getting ready to pull out :D The best thing in the world though? Just driving it, that was all I needed. It could have been hideous to everyone else on the planet, and it wouldn't have mattered, because it was my car and I loved it.
