Woops, didn't know there had been other responses. An old rodder riddled with cancer set me straight since I posted the Q and now he's dead, OD'ed. I've drawn my own conclusions on the subject.
Like mars, I don't "get" shows. I like to drive. What is the difference between reasons for a car meet and car show, aside from eliminating variety? I don't think there is any. All events are meant to keep out certain people. Everyone will of course insist that it is about bringing people together to pat each other on the back for charity. More power to 'em. I'm happiest when me and my car are the only ones in sight. Nobody needs to approve of me or it and I'm not really into looking at other people's stationary cars, so shoot me.
