Thanks for the compliment. I didn't look to see if the bottles had anything in them. It was an older guy that owned it easy in his late 50's early 60's. heard him talking to a guy.. almost s**t when he let it out on how much the car cost. lets just say 6 digits.
See, thats what I don't like. If you are going to spend THAT MUCH money on a car and even go so far as to put nitrous on it, but never drive it - only bench race at the car shows with other guys with the same problem, what is the point?
I was at a car show by my house called the "Spring Fling". As far as I know, it was for a local charity as well, which is cool. Its even cooler that the old men with said cars and deep pockets contribute to it heavily.
It is just a certain breed of people that are attracted to those types of events that bother me. You have the old men listed above, using their deep pockets to try and relive their youths while they think they can talk to you condescendingly because you don't have a mint hemi 'cuda or '69 GT500KR
Then you have the people who don't own cars, but will gladly tell you about their buddy's S-10 with a 355 or their neighbors big block so-and-so that makes 9,000 million horsepower and can't be out run.
Or my favorite - when they walk up to your Mustang and say "Nice Camaro."
Those of us like I bet 99% of the forum attract just love to drive their cars and turn the wrenches on them. They are the rare breed that out of every 50 people that walk buy your car will ask a truly legitimate question and you will enjoy spending 5 minutes with them swapping stories. Kudos, brothers and sisters.
But I want to repeat - I applaud these events for supporting charities and such. I'll continue to go and buy raffle tickets and laugh at the people who say "nice camaro".
Once again, I dig the paint job. I can only hope my car will be that clean one day.
Sorry for the rant, also...
