    Well, there are people out there with lots of money so they (the mega expemsive non drivers) will always have their place. I still like to look at 'em. Meanwhile, who the hell cares? This is America, a place where you can freely express yourself, at least for now. Meanwhile people who get wrapped around the axle on Rats or Trailers or Whatever truly keep me amused. I say Get Over It.

    It is possible to have a driver that can win a car show. Do your best and put it in that in door car show as soon as you finish it, after that drive it and enjoy it. I will say that it is a lot more fun driving it to a car show like GoodGuys or area car shows than it is trailering it every place you go. Itoldyouso's nephew is proof of that.

    I built my truck as a driver from day one. I finished it three years ago and I have put over 10,000 miles on it driving it on weekends, work once in a while, Goodguys events and local car shows. Sure it has a radiator full of bugs and been caught in many rain storms but soap & water, wax and lots of elbow grease always keep it looking great.

    In short take it to a serious car show when it is freshly finished and enjoy being a part of that then have tons of fun driving it. You won't regret it.

    After all, it is a car not a steinway piano.
