Guess I overstated the case there.  My bad.

Wow, go out of town for a week and see what I missed.  All this angst over a
car show, whether it's too expensive or not, whether Porsche drivers are
worthy or not, etc.  Seriously folks, it's just a car show.  If you want to
attend, please do so.  If you don't, that's OK, too.  Either way, appreciate
the fact that you have the option.  Isn't better to have a show available
that you may choose to attend or not rather than having no show at all?
Thank the organizers for their efforts and move on.

And why all the dispersions aimed at the Porsche owners?  Just because my
neighbor drives a German car while I prefer British iron, or roots for the
Raiders and I the 49ers, or prefers cats over dogs, does not make him a bad
person or me a good one.  That quality has nothing to do with the material
choices we make.
