To Show or Not To Show

What came up for me last weekend is this: how much do you baby your car to try to make it show-worthy, vs. just driving the thing and doing the basic stuff?

I hate to worry about every little paint nick and imperfection, but the point is to drive it, yes?

The guy with the beautiful '70 TA that I had the (mis)fortune of parking next to? It practically never leaves the garage. He walks away with a trophy and maybe some warm fuzzies. I'm not sure I can do that. I KNOW I can't afford it.

Can't I be happy with having a "10-footer"? Where's the balance?
