Remember just a few things about a car show and cars = you drive your
car, you enjoy your car, you saved a car from being lost forever, its
your car to do with anyway, anytime you so please, and look at how many
nice people you met today at that show = show car = you do not drive your
car, you cannot enjoy your car, you can enjoy your ego, and most people
at the show are just plain afraid to talk with you about your car. Every
car that is driven needs to be on the field just to show there is one
more of us on the road. Trophys are going to tear this hobby apart one
day, cars = people = sharing = thats a nice afternoon.
