The question that always drives me CRAZY
I'd probably just say "it's a work in progress", because every car is in some way. I know the fenders are slowly rusting away behind my front tires, but I have always jokes I'm just letting them go until they get so bad I can't stand it and I'll replace them with fiberglass to be lighter and corrosion resistant.
I have heard the Nova line more than once. I once watched a couple of younger guys walk around my car a few times at a show and one of them was saying "it looks just like a Nova, but it has a Dodge badge on it, I don't know what it is". I've often joked that I wanted to keep several dollar bills in my pocket at car shows and give people a dollar if they actually know what the car is. Though once I tell them it seems like everyone knows someone that used to have a Dart/Duster/Demon/etc. back in the day.
