I want to drive the truck more than just to cars shows.

The official verbiage is that you may not use it for "routine" transportation.

The intent is that you cannot use it as a daily driver; beyond that there is some interpretation involved. From the Law's perspective it seems to be only to and from shows, parades or to get it repaired.

Me: I drive it to the hardware store, or to work whenever I feel like it (because I know it's not my daily driver).

Lastly - during Woodward Cruise month (lol - the month of August) all restrictions are removed and you can drive as much as you want.

The rule change I was referring to was disallowing "special" YOM plates: no Manufacturer's plates and no Dealer plates are allowed. I think I snuck the "M" plate through because the word was not spelled out, but they caught me on the dealer plate because it was explicitly stated.
