I think this is your problem. May be it would be the best if you
stayed there. MV people are different. Love it or leave it.

Stay with your truck in your air-conditioned garage. Keep all people
with their clipboards out of bounds.
I can tell you that I make certificates for collector's cars here and on some
of them the price tag is US-$ 200,000+. Be sure I touch all of them and I
drive all of them. No drive, no certificate. My clipboard (without cover)
has been on the rear seat of several Mercedes gullwings and other
expensive cars.
A show car is a show car and a MV is a MV. MVs are made for tough
duty and not for show (The military call it "parade"). These are different
worlds. Don't try to mix them.
Best regards
