Ha! Exactly!
This is why I do the reverse psychology thing and introduce my car as
the "tatty primrose thing" (which isn't far from the truth). People
then pat me on the shoulder and reassure me that she "isn't TOO bad" -
and point out all the positives.
Much nicer hearing about the positives rather than the negatives!
Congrats on getting your special find back onto the road to really
deliver on the "drive them - don't hide them" philosophy!
