Well, I guess ItHurtz when someone doesn't get the joke...

Personally, I prefer seeing cars that are "halfway"... They're running and driving, but they aren't fully restored and so perfect that it would be a travesty to drive it every day and risk damaging the work you've done...

Something that you wouldn't feel bad about getting rock chips in the paint (if there's any paint left), or maybe blowing up a rear end, or transmission, because they both needed replacing eventually... Because getting anything sideways in dirt or gravel is always more fun than sitting and staring at a perfect 70 Challenger or 69 Camaro or whatever and never driving it.

Don't get me wrong, seeing a car go from a rusty hulk to perfection is one of the most amazing things to me... But once it gets to the "perfection" stage, it's no longer worth it to keep a car like that to me.

You can't do anything with it. If you did take it out into a field and found a big rock with the front bumper... It would be heartbreaking to see the amount of work that went into that front bumper now wasted...

But, if it's a 75 Plymouth Roadrunner (the ugly one) that's got nice big holes in the quarter panels from rust, the rear window is missing, and the interior is well ventilated floorboards and seats from some mid-90's toyota... With a 360 big block and 727 stolen from an old dodge truck and a 7 1/4 rear end that would explode immediately if the engine actually made any power, but if it does explode you don't really care because there's an 8 3/4 in the same truck, but you don't want to crawl under it again because you found a snake nest the first time...

None of that is from personal experience BTW, regardless of how many details I can remember.
