Re: Taking Supercar to Local Car Shows
 

Now this thread is getting somewhere.....

At PSMCDR a great car guy asked my son to sit behind the wheel of his AMX and we took pictures, a real highlight. Rick handed out chips, water, pop, all inexpensive items but the thoughtfulness is priceless.

Car shows are for everybody, even us kooks.

Not all my pictures have been of kids.

(For those who don't know her, this is Mrs. Phil Borris. She's smiling for 2 reasons. Firstly because I took her down the track the day before, and secondly because she has never been allowed to sit inside Phil's Camaro. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] )

I take my car to as many shows that I can fit in. I usually get one person comment on my Chevelle on either how they have never seen a SS Post car or they ask me if I know how rare it is.

Luckily my car isn't that nice so when the little kids come up and put their hands on it....it's not as big of a deal. I did have a gentleman leaning against the car but just as I told my friend that I was going to ask him not to.....he realized what he was doing and quickly moved.

I disagree, YOUR CHEVELLE IS NICE!!!!!! In fact when I owned it, it was THE BEST CRUISE CAR of them all. When I owned my shop I was at every cruise night, 7 days a week. I drove my cars and clients cars.....I always had the most fun with The Post Sedan. That Chevelle has ALL the character and people seem to be drawn in by her mystic.
Enjoy your Summer Kurt, see you in 21 days!

Thanks for the compliment Dan. Yes, I will see you in Strongsville.

I still enjoy the parking lot car shows, went to one yesterday. There are silly questions and sometimes kids put their hands on the cars, but it's still fun and people really enjoy the cars. I drive everything I own to the car shows and let folks look at them. People are pretty much respectful of the cars. I always get the window sticker comments, but what the heck. I tell them there's a slight mark-up over sticker price.

Re: Taking Supercar to Local Car Shows
 

I heard a good one and was actually from a seller of a truck we saw in a parking lot. Chevy that sold new in Oklahoma at Ramsey. Had the dealer emblem on it. The owner comes over and says this is the rare Ramsey, its like the Cheyenne. He was clueless why it said Ramsey Biloxi Oklahoma.
Its amazing what happens at auctions too. I saw a nice Porsche that had the front bumper bashed in by another car and a friend saw a guy in a golf cart or some kind of disability scooter , hit a super bird I believe at Dallas. Both mecum.

Re: Taking Supercar to Local Car Shows
 

I've read some of these stories but I think I have everyone beat with car show/cruise in jackals because of owning this...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...r/IMG_9028.jpg

I have turned my back for less than 2 minutes on it and found people opening the doors, sitting in it, leaning on it taking pictures, wanting to climb through the window (including people that in no way, shape, or form could EVER fit through it), slide across the hood.
I really don't have any issue with people taking pics with it. I will let people sit in it for a pic too as long as they ASK first. I get highly annoyed when others show no consideration or respect of something that isn't theirs.
The one time I took it to Ocean City, MD for the spring cruise, I walk back and see 2 girls bending over the fenders leaning on the hood with their arms taking pics. I have more or less stopped taking this car to shows/cruises since last year unless someone asks me to bring it out for a special display.

Tom, that sucks.. I guess that car really would attract lots of attention.. I don't blame you for not showing it anymore...

Does sliding across the hook on one knee scratch the paint?
