Car Show Etiquette

[XXXGoldL34M20]

I hate shows that have awards at the end of the day or night that win based on voting ballets by car owners or the show representatives that pick there friends cars anyways. Too political for me to see a sh@t box win when everyone knows he had the most friends there stuffing the voting box or the show rep was clearly a friend of the car that won.

Just do the damn show without awards and everyone has a good time with no BS.

This thread brings to mine something that happend at the World of Wheels in Kansas City some time ago, 96 or 97 I think. We had a club display that was roped off. Everyone was off looking and talking and I was on my way back when I heard my wife yelling in not so nice tone. She came upon a guy who had gone under the rope, got in a car; and was having his picture taken. The guy was kind of taken back by my wife's action, kind of "I didn't hurt anything" look. Gee, what are the ropes for???? It still comes up in club conversation when we talk about old shows from the past.

Haven't been to a car show in years and don't miss it a bit. The only show in recent memory I've been interested in attending is MCACN, and I haven't had the opportunity to get there yet.

I am always amazed at the "car show experts" that abound. Lots of people advising that I had to change the original interior in my COPO if I wanted to win. Lots of people advising that my 69 Z28 wasn't real as it has power steering yet they had no issues with the one next to me with an auto transmission and AC.

Those Automatic Z's are really really rare:-)

I hear the comments and sometimes see bad behavior at shows but personally love cars shows and all the great people I meet.

A few bad apples shouldn't spoil the bunch.

Don't write off car shows, but if you bring a supercar maybe have someone stay with her.

I like car shows but I like to get in and get out. The Cruises and quicky shows like the cars and coffee type stuff is really fun. I'm definitely in agreement with keeping people out of cars and off cars but i'm not so picky that a flyer laying in my front seat is going to get me all torqued up. Some folks are a little too picky and should leave there car at home in the garage inside a bubble. I don't go to a lot of all day shows anymore because the sun and heat puts a hurtin on me. I keep having these Basal Cell skin cancers removed too, another reason me and the sun don't agree much these days. I hit the swap meets early, and look for the shows that get us out asap. I don't care for the voting and trophies at 3 in the afternoon either, I do like car show T-shirts and those little dash plaques are really cool! They look great on toolboxes !

Tommy, for the basal cells...see your dermatologist and see if they will prescribe Erevidge for you. Oral medication that reduces and sometimes makes basal cell carcinoma dissapear (I am using it now). I've had MOHS sugery 15+ times already...so I am pretty experienced with BCC [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

As far as car shows...I don't really ever worry. Even when I had the Chevelle. My wife, on the other hand...doesn't hesitate to say something [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

I usually park my car and walk away. If you like my car then that's great but I already know what it needs, where it came from, what's missing, and I really don't care about your glory days being the local John Milner.

I saw a family with 3 kids walk up to a BMW Isetta like Urkel drove and the parents opened the door all 3 kids get in to take their picture.

I'll ask about that Bruce, I have an appt next month (if my Doctor is still in business by then [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] ). Dad has had a few of the MOHS surgeries too. Seems to be a good non invasive way to get the job done. Paw Paw and Dad have had a real bout over the years with these BCC's. I have had quite a few too but don't go see the Doc as often as I should. I've noticed the left side of face and left arm are usually worse than other side and I would imagine thats from exposure through drivers side window....
