Well - after reading all of this back and forth I'm convinced I voted correctly for the - I avoid public showings to preclude such issues - category. I have sympathy for the guys and gals who like to see classic and custom cars and have kids to shepard around and who do try to manage them. But, I have also seen my share of complete idiots and assholes of all types at car shows and cruise night who are completely irresponsible and even destructive. I've found that I want to participate less and less in such shows and prefer to just go and be a spectator myself. I don't have my old cars and replica to garner public attention with anyway - they are for self appreciation.
