Many view the same thing differently.
They could view an older pcar as an 80's stockbroker status symbol, or a DIY vehicle with specific qualities.
There are a lot of other nice vehicles people have spent their time and money into turning junkyard scrape into showpieces.
All the same respect from me.

Few years ago, I was at a VW Bug show and started talking with a dude. Complimented him on his ride, asked some questions, and mentioned I had an old pcar.
The guy turns around and literally yells into the crowd "HEY JEFF! HEY JEFF! THIS HERE GUYS GOT A POOOOORSHA".
Looked around but didn't see anyone. Someone there with similar interests?
Turned back, and he's giving me an ugly face.
WTF....?
I thought about educating him on VW history, or mentioning a 21 window would be worth many times my car, or that the Grateful Dead made stupid money in paraphernalia sales, but just left.
You can't fix stupid sometimes.
