| Alan there is a slight difference.
| I have also driven a long way for a car show and just received a $3 dash
| plaque (weehoo) and it seemed justified.
| The smiles and the thumbs-up are all the thanks I need ,because I do this
| for myself and if some one else likes my work COOL!
| However if a business organizes a show and shine for the sole purpose of
| selling more burgers and they use the talents of car and truck enthusiasts
| like ourselves and are too cheap to even pass out a few free Cokes or
| burgers or something, then those people are just exploiting us, and I for
| one don't like the taste it leaves in my mouth.
