We had a similar experience at the car show in downtown Mountain View last summer. Luckily, we didn't leave with any damage (a guy pounded on my fender and asked out loud if it was fiberglass, some kid smeared ice cream on Scott's car, another kid used Chuck's sidepipe as a ladder to look inside the cockpit of the car).

One of the challenges of events like the Dream Machines show is that there are a lot of non-car people there. I'm always surprised and amazed when I go to the Good Guys car shows in Pleasanton and people have the utmost respect for the cars. The other thing is that pets have a time and a place...and cars shows aren't any place for pets.

In the end, the cars were made to be driven. Hopefully the scratches can be buffed out.
