MY FIRST CAR SHOW - Part II

5 Attachment(s)

Well.....I finally did it!.....I had the audacity of entering a car show. I know, I know....I'm not quite ready for prime time!.....But my friend was going and he convinced me to go with him.....ok, stop laughing...it wasn't my idea!!!! I was so embarrassed....I was really out of my league! None of us got any prizes...boo hoo hoo :(

But anyway, I brought back some pics of the 'Temecula Fall Car Show and Old Town Cruise'....hope you enjoy! :)

That's me next to my mechanic's 2000 custom vette

Hey you can't win them all and no matter how out of its league you think your car is there is always somebody who really shouldn't be there.

I once entered my 68 in a local (Mira Mesa) car show. It was a great experience, but one I probably won't do again. My daily driver's missing paint chip-finish just couldn't compete with all those "Garage Queens". My 01 is the in the same boat - many mountain runs that send paint chips flying.....

RE: MY FIRST CAR SHOW

I can't imagine the Black Stallion being out of its league! Your car looks so great ... what's wrong with those people. Blame it on the Hooter Girls - probably too much distraction for the average guy. If I knew about the show, we would have taken a ride up. I love car shows!
But then you'd have to explain to your friends who the blonde is drooling on the Black Stallion.

Hey Pecemkr
it looks great. Nothing wrong with going and just having a little fun, besides i found out from many shows most the people that DON'T stop or just glance and keep walking are usually the jealous ones.
and BTW is that really Cindy Williams? OH MY [sm=insomnia.gif]

This time of year, the intergallactic storms begin to occur. I'm puttin' the "Starship" into port for repairs, and upgrades. The Gull Wing stye of doors, on the blue Vette, are what I would like to put on the "Starship"!!!;) Great pics, Dude!

Hey Pedro,
I still say your car looks Fantastic. You have done a very good job to keep your daily driver looking so good! Thanks for posting the other pics. I'm so bummed I did not know about the show, My sister lives In Temecula and I'm always visting. We were there Fri the day before the auto show. We made a little donation to the Pachanga Res. Casino LOL

Pecemkr,

I give you major points for having a black daily driver. I know I couldn't do it. I think your black beauty fit in just fine. And your mechanic's custom, is the base color Nassau Blue? Very nice. How does he like the Countach doors? Your photography again looks great.

Oh believe me your car is not an ugly duckling by any standards...Those people just didn't know how to appreciate a car that didn't have flames or lambo doors:)

Commander C3, please ensure you have the firmware upgrade in place before attempting to lock into warp! I have heard horror stories from those who have tried to engage the drive while using the original unit as shipped from MatrixSoft. You don't want to wake up one day and find yourself on Zeta 13. They only have 87 octane pump gas there. :D

I always liked those Lambo style doors, and I still do... But one day, a friend of mine said something that made me think for a bit. On the off chance that you have those doors and are racing your car and you flip... engine catches fire, how will you get out? You wont be able to open the door. I know that its like a relatively slim chance, but it is still one that I wouldnt want to take.

RE: MY FIRST CAR SHOW

I'm bettin' that if I flip, a lot of fiberglass is going to disapear. T-tops and glass for sure. The cage will maintain structure.
Heck, the doors would prob go first.:D
I worry more about stuff commin' in like, poles, road signs, large dogs,...etc., than me gettin' out.
