The question that always drives me CRAZY

I have one of my “other orphan make” antique cars that I have owned for 30 years now that I pulled from under an apple tree where it had been sitting for 20 years previously. Being in college at the time and having no money, I managed to overhaul the engine and transmission, do some upholstery work, and slap a cheap Maaco paint job on it. I never claimed or attempted to pass it off as anything more than an interesting old car that I bought cheap a long time ago, had some fun bringing back to life, and managed to hold onto for 30 years despite many financial downs over the years! About 15 years ago, I had it at an event and just happen to notice a moldy (literally covered in thick black mildew) 35-40 year old motor home pull up in the parking lot next door and a family of obviously “bath optional” rednecks piled out of it and beelined for the old cars. When “Paw Redneck” made his way over to my car, he glanced it over, looked at me, and spouted, “Kinda lettin’ it go, ain’t ya?” Whatever makes you feel better about yourself dude!
