I was at a Porsche meet that they used to have up at the Kruse/Auburn auction park....I was 20 at the time, and of course the youngest guy there. I took my '67 912, and although it was far from a concours car, it was definitely presentable.....especially since I had just spent 6 months wrenching on it, and replacing the pans, etc, to get it BACK on the road after being in a chicken coop for 20 years. I had done all of my own work, and was fairly proud of it.
Ruined by a group of three check-writing, no-talent, old codgers, who while standing next to my car, kept going on, about "how they couldn't believe that somebody would actually bring this POS to a car show." (of course they didn't know it was MY car).
I accosted them about it, and of course they sat there with the dumbest looks on their faces. Complete foot-in-mouth situation. They apologized, but I still made a point to remind them that their actions were a contributing reason on why people think Porsche owners are dicks.
My car the very morning that I took it to that show.....
