The people at normal car shows just ruin it for me.
(not cruise nights or charity shows, for some reason everyone is happier and less cynical at those.)
I went to a cruise night at a local burger spot that happens once a month. Nothing too big, around 25 cars. I set up with my little slant 6 survivor and just start enjoying the show. Since I am the youngest guy there, wouldn't you know it; EVERYONE IS AN EXPERT all of a sudden. Most of the guys there were nice and liked my plans and what I had done, but at least 25% of them were just ripping me a new one over every little detail.
However, the next morning I went to another show. (formal judged type one) and the same thing happened. but this time EVERYONE IS A EXPERT. (over 90%) EVERYONE I talked to except three told me I was a.) doing something wrong b.) going to my dad and asking him questions about the car, (which is a honest mistake,) then when I started to answer their questions, they got all pissed and tried to talk over me!
All but three.
