Let me start be saying that I have the utmost respect for NCRS, what they stand for, and the cars they preserve. I also know that I can never be part of that crowd because I'd rather drive and enjoy than preserve. That being said...
I took the 82 to a gathering this weekend. A group of guys from the local NCRS chapter came over and began "judging" my car. I already know my car isn't perfect and I already know that I have no intention of seeking certifications with it.
The group, one guy in particluar, began putting down every little thing he could find wrong with it, to the point of being rude and insulting. I let them know that I am comfortable with the fact that I do not have a 100 point car and walked away to avoid getting pissed off. They remained at the car for another 15 minutes.
No real point to my rant. Just didn't understand why my car, or any car, can't be appreciated for what it is, be it NCRS certified, custom, or worn out turd.
PS - I drove it home in the rain! :surprised
