I agree. I go to the shows to see the stuff, and if no one brought their
stuff there wouldn't be any. So, I think when people enter their cars they're
really doing something nice for the spectators more than for themselves, and
it's just what's necessary to make an event where people with a similar
interest
can get together, so I think it's worth doing.
