I agree G.R.. There are just a few tree huggers up in these parts. That said, it is a rarity to get any grief.

Only one time and that was from one of the tree huggers who started off about people like me in these old cars ruining the atmosphere. He left quickly when one of the huge Harley riders walked over and wanted to know if he had rather they ruin it with his body. All others from all walks of life has been thumbs up and grins. I have never had any type negative action or remark from the motorcycle gangs around here. They would ride alongside me on the highway and give the thumbs up or stop when I did and talk to me about the car and what a great ride they are.

I've only had one negative response and that was when the guy found out that my FIA had a 1965 engine in it. Made some comment about wasting fuel and spewing "all that pollution into the air." Everybodyelse has been extremely positive. Wish I had this car when I was single (good thing my wife doesn't read this forum!).

In 12K miles, I've only had ONE complaint and I deserved it. Homeowner yelled at me to slow down, and I do believe I was exceeding the posted 25 MPH speed limit when I pulled 2nd gear at 6K RPM.
