Back when my car was pretty much restored but still pretty stock looking, I went to a large once a year cruise in with a friend in his highly modified Monte Carlo SS...not a stock part left on it.
We were parked side by side and it was very interesting to me to watch as half of the people would walk right past my car to look at his, and the other half would walk right past his to look at mine.
I think I was kind of taken aback that after all of the hours I spent restoring my car it wasn't getting more attention. That might have been about the time that I decided to start driving the car more and be done with the looking at it in a parking lot scene. So glad I made that move and I haven't looked back since.
Having fun driving what you built is by far the best trophy one can get for participating in this hobby of ours.
