Here in michigan its mustangs and corvettes.
I heard that place closed up. Good to hear its still open.I went to the *** Drive In, in Issaquah, Wa yesterday.
the igniters put on a show in town every friday in the summer here, one member has a 64 fury with a 426 hemi black with a red gut, and one has a 64 savoy with a long ram 413, white with a black gut, a lot of nice rides. I think car shows should have a under construction spot so people can see whats being done.
I agree, most of the time you see the same stuff. How many 69 Camaro's or late 60's Chevelle's can you look at?
Why not worry about it, go to the event and enjoy talking with people. Everything else just doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things
Why is it when you go to a car show there are a bunch of mustangs, camaros, and short box chevs with 10,000 paint jobs nice valve covers and every thing else is mediocer. Dont get me rong there are a lot of nice cars done right but man it gets old when people gawk and are saying things like "man thats a sweet ride" or "golly he put some money into her" when the car has like 250hp and handles like a shoping cart.
Well said... I go to car shows because I love cars....period.Every person in the car hobby has their own priorities and likes and everyone that brings their car to a show has the right to not be dumped on. To call car shows a "joke" because folks don't have the same likes and priorities as you is an insult to the hobby in general.
The reason you see so many Mustangs, Camaros and short box Chevy's is they were 10 times more popular when they were new and still are.
If you want a show that caters only to what floats your boat go out an organize it and don't refer to the rest of the shows as jokes.
Well I guess the moral of the story is if you hate car shows so much then I guess dont go.

I feel you dude, where I live here in Southern Md there are a group of guys who think they are a cool mopar club, All have brand new challengers, chargers and such. I cannot wait to pull up one Sunday with my 65 cuda and show them a true mopar club car! New cars are nice but they did no work to them just some paint or a louver on the window, not a new motor or rebuilt old vehicle, no imagination. I can buy a 40 k challenger srt but no fun in that. I can get a couple cool old mopars for that money if I had it....JMO
