No, no sarcasm. I can see it both ways. A few people have chimed
in here how they like the mix of less-common cars, that tend to
collect around the edges, and I agree 100%.

Socially, mix'm'up would probably be more fun. I'm not into engine
performance as my main focus; that's a world unto itself.  But
neither am I a restorer, and at most meets I go to, the other
"early" non-performance Ramblers are resto-nuts, and cringe at my
wanton hole-drilling.

(My 63 Classic though mechanically sweet is umm a bit
rough-looking, and since for a few years now it's been my only AMC
it's what I bring, though no one is impressed, and people don't
always wanna park next to me :-) That embarrassment will end with
the Hornet, I hope!)

Well, usually there's one field, a mix of social hanging-out and
judging, so in the few events I've attended, the cars are in
judging order, and hanging out is informal. I think a lot of the
ordering business is simply logistics, park 'em once and get the
job over with :-)

Oh yeah? Well I still hate your guts.

Kidding! Kidding!
