Girls and convertibles always go together. With a sweet looking vert like that, i'd be all smiles if i was her too.
Best reply to the buyers of their rides is, "Yeah, anyone can write a check" What I get a kick out of is the amount of Mopar owners that will place something over the VIN plate in the windshield. I guess to try and fool other Mopar owners? I don't know, but it seems to happen a lot.
I guess I've not experienced anything at the local shows around me to what's being discussed here.
- I can't imagine being offended because somebody isn't interested in giving me a gold star for my car.
- enough snobs right here on FABO: Wrong year of Duster? 318 and not a 360? You don't know spit because you didn't get a custom grind cam? I've had people ask me how do I bench flow my home ported heads. My answer is "E.T. slip". It's the best bench flow, best dyno that I know of To that I've never had a response, end of conversation
remember?
im still trying to figure out how to make it to a show she will be at...i believe she owes me a hug
Now that's snobbery in the first degree!! You can tell by the way they don't wave when you pass them, if youeven see them out driving them at all!!! Glad you're one of the few!!!I have never experienced this kind of snobbery at a show but I did expereince it at a local car club. I bought a Viper some 10 years ago and joined the local Viper club to learn a little more about the car.
The first event was a wedding. One of the members kids was getting married and he wanted the wedding party to all be driven to the reception in Vipers. When I met the members none of them knew anything about the car. It was essentially a " social club" for people that owned the same car. The guys were absolute dicks. They would pull out there wallets at dinner to see who had the most money......I'm not kidding! Anyway...It started to rain after the wedding and a lot of us had to drive kids. Vipers are not the best cars to be driven in rain! These idiots were driving kids in the rain going down the highway at 120 MPH.
I sent a note to the club president asking if any members would like to meet up on a Sunday morning at a local coffee shop to go for a drive. His answer " These people are too important to do something like that".
I never went back to an event. Found another Viper owner who was really into learning the car too and just hung out with him. Still have the car. It is amazing. Still hate the club.
------tell them------------Now that's snobbery in the first degree!! You can tell by the way they don't wave when you pass them, if youeven see them out driving them at all!!! Glad you're one of the few!!!

Went to an open car show. Ran into a guy had a 70 challenger with with Hemi Swap (GenIII). Which I have done myself in my 67 barracuda So I comment on his restoration and ask some questions about the swap I noticed some stuff I liked and asked him. He told me "I don't know anything about it you have to ask the guy that restored the car." and proceeded to turn away from me. What a Dick. Later he came by my car and was ripping on all the scratches and chipped paint and old bumpers. So I told him aperantly you can not appreciate a car that the owner built and drives all over the country. And not towed in a trailer.

my take is , in general, E body guys are more into the $$$ part of it more so than the typical A body guy. the average A body guy is usually playing with more affordable cars no doubt. we have a different mindset. IN GENERAL. I have life long friends that are died in the wool hemi E body people, but very down to earth folk. they love their cars. hands on. one of them has nothing but hemi E body survivors. he does not have to have any body or whatever work done to those! ha.... but they run in a different economic circle than I do.
seems the B body guys are somewhere in between the and A body crowd. you can even find different clics in the years, say 68-70 roadrunner guys tend to be a little different than the 66-7 guys! just my observation. maybe totally flawed. !!!!!
I have a F body. ( among other mopars).. a volare. I love the car. now I figure the FMJ body guys tend to be a little different than all the other groups too. why?? the typical FMJ car has no where near the worth of the E body or B body, or even the lowest ranking A body!!! ha...... is it the $$ worth that sets us apart? or who turns the wrenchs? or who has the biggest ego?? or bank account??? or the most understanding spouse???
but what makes a difference to me is the soul of the car guy. anther topic altogether!!???? ha
Me too! Or how the fratzog came to be.I usually ask a guy like that why his car doesn't have a Fratzog
Or take your 68 GT to a dodge dealer for an alignment and hear the mechanics over 50 say nice things. And the 22 year old snot say "the paint has swirl marks" Gee, "does yours?"I have taken mine to two car shows and will not do it anymore. I got bored sitting there all day preventing people from touching my car and hearing all the criticism what was not right and so forth. I have on occasion rode thru the local show and not stoping watching spectators stare. I have lots more fun working on it and driving it.
