It's not so much what people ask, but how they ask.

It gets pretty annoying that people who don't own classics have little tact when asking about, or commenting on a car.

Saying "Man that's a sweet car. If you don't mind me asking, what does it cost to build something like that?", is a lot nice than asking how much did it cost.

One that really grinds my gears is when they just walk up and ask "how much?" without even a hello. I tell them what I'd take, they say "it's not worth that", well it's not for effing sale! Though if they say hi, compliment the car, and ask if I'd consider selling it, that's much more polite.

When people really hound me about buying one of my cars, I'm like, if you really wanted one, you'd have one already. Go find your own. A lot of people think it would be cool to "fix up an old car", but they would lose interest if they had one, and that's why they never have had one.

I don't even like going to car shows because everyone's an expert that has to tell their kid or wife everything that's "wrong" with the car. I'll keep taking cars to shows for the sake of the people that want to see them and not pick them apart, and to support the hobby so that the younger crowd has something to get interested in, but I wish everyone would shut up lol.
