Part of what went into the decision to sell my Challenger. Now, I know mine was far from stock, and I enjoyed going to shows with the work I had done, but the amount of new cars at shows is over the top.
One of the last shows I went to was Beloit, 2 years ago. There was 2-3 rows of new Challengers. I remember sitting there among them thinking “there is nothing special about any of these. They are all store bought cars. Just because you bought a car, and enjoy it, does not mean that everyone else wants to see it”.
It was not long after that, that I traded the car in. Even with all of the work I had done, I did not want to be associated with the “look I bought a car” people.
