Things I do at car shows

Nah, he's just frustrated.
I know how he feels because I see it all the time, the same dweebs keep getting the trophies every time by the same judges.
Maybe their cars are really nice,$100-K custom jobbers done up by a high end shop, but it's nice to see the little guy get noticed every once in a while especially when he takes just as much pride in his car as the high dollar guys, just on a different pay grade.
That's why I said don't seek the trophies, especially at those shows because you are just wasting your time there.

I think trophies take all the fun out of it.

Did you ever see how badly some of those guys stress over getting those trophies, oh my gosh it's freaking sick.
You'd swear some of them are gonna have a freakin heart attack over getting the top spot.... lemme outta here.....:sign10:

You are absolutley right I am not a trophy seeker by any means, I just get really frustrated in that my vehicle gets no recognition. I mean my car was used in a television commercial here in the Raleigh area last year and you would think, based on the airplay of that commercial that received a lot of airplay in North Carolina. I just get frustrated that these same dweebs seem to get all the credit. I'd bet 3/4 of them have never turned a wrench on their car.These people who just go to shows to seek trophies do make me sick, and I am not seeking a trophy but just once a little recognition of all my hard work on the restoration of my car. These guys who buy 30K -50K cars and then show up for trophies is not what the real reason of restoration and enjoyment of classic cars is all about. it is kind of like having a Trophy wife and showing her off everywhere you go.
