Well, if it's just OPINIONS we are giving...I for one like, NO, LOVE seeing every part of a car when at CAR SHOW. The engines on some cars, whether driver quality or show quality are some of the most interesting and unique parts of the car itself. Trunks, while not always intriging, are part of the car and if I am about to start a restoration of XYZ car to original condition, That car that you may not want to see with it's hood open or trunk open...well, that may be just the car I NEED to see and take pictures of, so I can make mine correct. That XYZ car may be the only one I have come across and it sure would be helpful to ME in my learning and appreciation of the car, but if the trunk and hood is closed...I don't particularily want to hang around all day waiting for the owner to come back so I can ask him to pop the lids. So, it really has nothing to do with JUDGING or NOT IMO. As far as the rest of this...well, I am sorry...it's gettin OLD. Got a problem with someone or something...pick up the phone talk Man to Man with the source of the problem. End of Story.
