My w/s card says "Display Only" when I attend 2 or 3 local cars shows a year......No judging for me,just there for the fun of it....
I give my car a decent wash job, wipe down the interior,open the hood and blow the motor off with the air hose and give the motor/engine compartment a spray of Armour All, close the hood and drive to the car show...
I did the "car show" thing for 2 years and was so disgusted I didn't do another for a number of years.The cars with the most chrome or the car club that put on the show would win the 5 dollar trophys and it wasn't much fun.
I now do a couple every year, there are "charity" car shows, more of a cruise-in than a car show, but still attract some fine machines....
Did a regional MCA event about 10 years ago,just to see what it was about, when they judged my car,one of the 2 judges couldn't believe how many rock chips were on the rear quarter panels and pointed it out to me, told him the car was a "driver" and in the "driver class", he said "where do you drive it?", told him wherever I need to go at the time, including gravel roads and one sugar cane field, he just shook his head in disbelief and said "well,at least you drive your car". He is right...........
