Yeah, I heard many time about the reaching up the fender deal, but man - I would not know what I would do if someone did that, no one has done it.... yet. What a stupid thing to do.

I share the comment about the big block though, very few poeple comment about the SB versus FE, or should I say - they just don't know. Most poeple really love it, are very nice, the skate boarders and the guys with the dangling key chains are the biggest concerns at the show, amongst unparented kids. Other than that, they are great ways to meet some people who share the same pasion we do.

I find that the smaller shows are better than the bigger ones - the more "regular joe's" you get, the more family involvement, the better the shows are, the more "traditional" hot rods are there, the more kit cars are frowned down upon, the less activity there is. The small rinky-dink hole-in-the-wall mom and pop restaurant shows, is a hell of a lot better than the garage Queen, huge, multi-sponsered event. That's my opinon anyhow...I have won a lot of awards thus far, but I would take an un-judged event having a good time than a big show any day of the week.

Local cruise nights are the best...nothing like have a Cobra mixed in with the low riders...everyone respects their cars and yours and everyone is different.
