It's sad that shows have come to this. I know exactly what you mean. A man shows a JD "A" at one of the local shows. Every nut and bolt has been chromed. Everyone talks about how great an idea this is, however, I don't think JD ever sent a tractor from the factory with all chrome nuts and bolts. Car shows are worse. I know of several cars that have more money invested in them than they will ever get back. I know of a 68 Mustang that was bought for $32,000 and the new owner invested another $22,000 in it. Nothing rare, just a 68 Mustang. My tractors go to the shows in their work clothes. I do have some that are very nice, but most of them earn their keep around here. As for the Charger. I am often criticized for allowing my daughters to drive it. It shows the marks of teenagers and life on the streets. They have learned to care for their own vehicles with this car. Many people tell me I should never let the girls drive this vintage car. Maybe I shouldn't, but their not any fun if all you do is look at them and I can always fix the car. It was an excellent tool for rewarding them for their accomplishments. In our world "money talks" and we are stuck with it.
