as i have gotten older, i don't pay much attention when i cannot please someone. I get asked all the usual questions, but can' t really recall but one rude thing ever said to me. I don't question passerby motives, i just smile and try to give the most accurate answer i can come up with.

Once, at a car show, (my first and only one), a lady walked up to me, with her child in tow, and told me "this is why it costs so much to see you", and walked off.

Packed up and left then and there, never been to another car show.

By the way, about 8-9 years ago, i was passing thru DeMoines, at a gas station there was this Replica refueling, and i walked over, being fascintated by what i so seldom saw, and started to ask a simple question, and right away the guy implied i was unworthy of any answer, just snorted and grumpily got in and drove away. When someone asks me a question, i sometimes recall that Replica Jerk Driver, and try to do better.
