My first Car Show

I think you guys are wound way too tight. I've been showing cars for 35+ years with no problems. If you don't want to hear lame azz comments or have a fit when somebody gets too close to your car, leave it in the garage and quit your whining. Maybe the people in the Pacific Northwest are nicer/more respectful than the rest of the country.

I agree with Xavier, I go to local shows that are raising money for charities, and cruise-in nights sponsored by mom & pop restaurants. I do not need to waste a day hoping for a trophy that is ultimately awarded to the guy who spent the most money, I would rather be driving.

Yes, you're correct, they are nicer and more respectful in the PNW.

Whining is an American pastime, like baseball, hot dogs and apple pie.

I am a little surprised at all of the shows that seem to let new cars in. Our big show here, Kool April Nights won't let any car newer than a 1979 in and many of the smaller shows are the same. A couple of the really small ones will let any car in as they don't get many, and one of them has quit having a car show every year.

I haven't see any of the reaching under the finder stuff, but some of the people here who take their cars to shows before they are completely finished would end that. All it would take is to get one of those rough fiberglass splinters stuck in your finger and I doubt if they would want that again.
