Well said. I've got a couple cars. 2 old Station Wagons, my nice one and my 'beater' and my pick-up truck Silverado. A good friend of mine just bought himself a fancy pickup truck. 2008 Silverado. He's been teasing me for my 96 being a bit long in the tooth, rusty, etc, etc.
Well, I was at a friends house and we were cleaning up the yard. When it came time to haul brush, everyone else didn't want to scratch their truck, or tear up the yard with their 40" tires. Guess who's rusty, trusty truck did the job?

I wouldn't take it the wrong way. We all got a big laugh out of the headliner falling (after the shock wore off, that is). Of course then I had to think about what it might cost to get it fixed.
I wouldn't consider my Plymouth a "show car" by any means. It's just a nice old car. If I had plenty of big bucks to throw around, then I might like to have something like that, but for me, this old car is just what I need. If it gets a ding or a scratch (or if the headliner falls down) it's not a big deal. If it were a real "show car", I'd be scared to drive it around - then, if you can't drive the things, what's the use in having them?
