The easiest way is to enter the car in a judged competition - then listen in to the fanatical "experts" as they take note of each and every deficiency. At the end you'll either find yourself crying or laughing. -Laughing because you realize that you just don't give a damn. And that these "car lovers" are hung up on esoteric and mostly meaningless details and may hardly even know how to drive. :lol:

LOL That happened to me (I didn't enter) when some judge came up and started going over my car while I was parked off to the side. He went on & on then asked me what I planned to do with my Triumph Spitfire. It was at this point I slowly pointed to the FIAT on the steering wheel then laughed and walked away. :roll:
