I don't go to shows for the show, but for the like minded people and the out of area drive in the Dart.
That last one in phoenix I tried to spare them my junk, but I wanted to park by people I knew so it ended up in the lineup.
It was free to enter anyway, so it didn't matter really.
I don't see myself ever paying to put a car in a show, as I just don't have any interest in that part of it.
I go strictly for the drive the people I know and all the drugs and alcohol.
