is it just me?

I think all cars should be at the car show, but I also like the idea here of the car show for certain areas of cars. And for me personally I think you'll find a hard time finding a thread that I ever participated in where I said the word hate.

My point is that you will never please everyone.
I never said that anyone used the word ''hate''.
The statement 'haters will always hate'' is a vague generality to describe the point that people have different tastes, beliefs, and interests. Some may strongly disapprove of a car they deem is insuperior or does not fit in with their narrow field of opinion, and therefore does not belong.
My opinion is that if it's an open car show, all makes and models of cars are welcome regardless of year.
On a closed or restricted car show, then whatever they have categories for are welcome, as long as they meet the parameters set out.
As far as the new cars go and do they belong is a personal choice. It's like a magazine rack with various types and topical publications displayed. if you don't want to read or buy ''Dog Fancy'' then skip over it and look at the magazine you choose. That doesn't mean that it doesn't belong there.........
