We've had this before, wondering if thoughts have changed since the last one. It came up on the Power Tour facebook feed. Old car had to move for new Corvette parking. Owner was miffed because anyone can buy a new car. Then others chimed in that buying an old car rather than building it is just as bad as showing up with a new Vette, Mustang, Camaro, Challenger, etc...
What are your thoughts? Do you respect a nutjob like me who builds everything more than the guy who meticulously keeps his car in great shape for decades? Is a car showed by the guy who built it more special or respectable than one bought by someone?
At the show I went to over the weekend, I was about the only builder. Every guy I talked to there had owned the car for decades, they were either original or repainted long ago, they bought them that way. I know how I feel about it, how do you feel about it?
