Ahhh, competitions - real or otherwise.
I remember the first Shelby show (CS bday at Petersen) I attended with the new motor...
Lot's of nice cars, but few in 'my' category (CSX4/6, KMP, fakeydo, hot rods shaped like a Cobras, etc).
I stupidly believed that I would/could clinch the popular vote since I had crowds around my car like no other (and the pics to prove it).
But there was this one guy...he had a nice 6000 Cobra,
nice but not superb, in case anyone thought it was a nut and bolt replica - not even close.
Anyways, this guy worked the attendees
one by one..."Carroll put a $100 bill on the dash, and if you could grab it...", "Carroll told Enzo Ferrari to eat $#!t", "Carroll's chili would leave blood stains on the seats", etc, etc.
Well, the trophys were handed out and the popular vote winner was the guy with the 'stories'.
Oh, and he was the most recent customer of the 'dealership' that hosted the show.
Live and learn. At least it wan't a small block
And if anyone wants to say, "sour grapes", get in line behind my wife!
Next time I'm making her show some cleavage
