The ones that had there hoods up,(were sad looking), NONE had done any detail work on the engine department, oil leaks,rust,very very dirty.I was upset and disappointed. One was so dirty it looked like it had a dirt floor on drivers side and the driver side seat was were he put his feet. This was at a car SHOW what the hell..I didn't take any pictures and came home. I'm trying to understand why anyone would build and spend hours doing so and then take a car and show it this way. sad
On the flip side, spend hours cleaning and polishing the car so you can win a $3.00 trophy....Sorry, no.........When I take one of my cars to a show, I wear the dirt and grime as a badge of honor showing I drive(race) my car for the sheer enjoyment of doing so....Most people get it, some like yourself do not.
