Default what do you consider to be mint?

I have been browsing classifieds and I see people all the time claiming that their restored cars are mint. I just don't feel that a car that has been repainted or restored in anyway as being mint. I mean shoot you can put $25,000 into your smashed up terd, but its still a bondo bucket. Mint to me is 100% stock paint and meticulously maintained. What do you consider mint?

It use to mean something. Then everyone that had a car with a clean interior and decent paint had to say it was in mint condition.

mint doesent mean all stock, it means that everything is perfect like paint is perfect even if it is new or stock paint.
