I must admit that on occasion I have made a derogatory comment about a modified car at our local cruise night but only on occasions when the modified car owner makes some comment like "If I want to drive my car to (fill in the blank)I want a reliable engine (e.g. SBC)." Other than this I am very sensitive about not hurting the feelings of other car owners who come to our cruise nights and if I can't make a positive comment I will make none at all (as my mother taught me).
My daily driver is a 1983 Volvo 240 that is beaten at the stop light drags by city transit buses so I can imagine that most other car owners must consider me in the lower strata of society. When I am in the Packard that is a different story however

After all the going on about "authenticity vs. modification", I figured it's time for a poll on the subject. The question is, would you treat someone personally, good or bad, based on their car and the modifications, if any done to it?
