Maybe that's why I'll never have a car at the high level or I'm just a cheap SOB and in the minority. Haha.

$300 for a set of correct plugs? Is it 1980? Think more like $750.
You deciding to not show at that "high level" is understandable. You most likely have a healthier attitude towards these old cars than I. The concourse is certainly not for everyone.
My wife shows dressage at a very high level. As you might surmise, it takes a LOT of practice, discipline and yes, a lot of money. Another hobby (at that level) that is not for everyone.
Do I understand it? Not completely. However, I do admire and respect her for her discipline.
Like me with regard to my high point restorations, we understand and respect each other.
