'Just got back from the first car show of the season in THIS area. IT ACTUALLY DIDN'T RAIN for the first time in about 45 days!!!! WE ACTUALLY HAD SUN FOR THE "OPENING DAY" CAR SHOW! Can you believe THAT? (But, the clouds started comin' in - and I KNEW THEY WOULD BE DUMPIN' - so, I split. ...Early! So, don't ask about "trophies"! 'Wasn't there to find out ... and pbly wuzzunt there long enough to "bag one" anyway!:lol )
Our GT's are still a hit with the "car show" crowd, guys. Mine was surrounded like Custer at the Little Big Horn the whole time it was there. Young people, old people & in between were all around it all the time. And I MEAN all the time. 'Musta been about a hundred photos taken with cell phones & digitals. 'Answered the same questions 3 dozen times, you know the drill. 'The usual stuff. There were people callin' other people & telling 'em to get down there to see the car - it was a zoo.
'Felt kinda sorry for the guy who'd brought a blue '72 'Vette rdstr that was parked beside my GT. 90% of the time, it was as though his car wasn't even there at all as far as "attention" was concerned.
'Only had to politely "warn" two people - ON BIKES of coarse (who else?) - to keep their bikes back from the car. ONE of those was a complete jackass. He was about 45yrs old or so (MORE than old enough to know better) and he ACTUALLY SWORE AT ME FOR DOING SO and pedaled off in a huff!! 'Actually cussed ME out for getting nervous about his bike being less that 6" from the car's front fender!!!!!! Lord, how I LUV "granolas".:bs
But, aside from THAT jerk, everybody else pretty much "respected somebody else's property."
All in all, it was a good day! 'Even got the car back to the garage w/o a mark on it! And it "don't git no more gooder" than THAT!:biggrin
