I perceive this thread as being humorous. What's a little hyperbole between CC members? 
Nonetheless, I/we should be allowed to share my/our "snub" experiences on this thread. Certainly my experience(s) was/were real, though I'm aware that you can't label 100% of anyone and then plug them into one neat and tidy category.

Humor? HUMOR? Do you think there is any humor in driving an Edsel?

Tops? Who needs tops? Besides, they really don't keep the floor dry. 55 gallon trash bags over the seats, now there's the ticket. Battleground photos provided by a very wet Mr. Maxwell standing by the side of the road.

Those pics are AWESOME! I bet there are replica owner's who's cars haven't seen so much as an accidental pass through a roadside sprinkler, much less that type of precipitation!
Here's to ya Nedsel!!
P.S. - There's nothing like the smell of wet wool carpet in the mornin'!

It doesn't really matter if you built it or bought it,I chose to build mine and I think that was just as much fun as driving it. When someone asks if I built it I pull out my build book and show them. Most people are really impressed. I know a lot of people take pictures of my car so I guess they like it.

During my Tiger ownership, almost all the people that I ran into did not know what type of car I was driving or what a Sunbeam Tiger was.
Kinda like now, with my Cobra.  |
