What the hell is wrong with some people..
It's my turn for a Rant so here goes....
Today I decided to go to a car show where they were raising money for a young boy with Cancer..I washed and waxed my car, did the interior, making sure everything was perfect for the show, I spent 3 hours with the cleaning and it looked great .They were having the show up in Maryland at a fair grounds I had never been to before..When I got to the entrance to the fairground the man waved his arm and directed me to the road on the left.. After going down the road about a hundred yards the road turned to gravel where I slowed down so I wouldn't get my car dirty, and I remember thinking (What the hell kind of car show uses a gravel road for an entrance)..Then the road turned to dirt, by now my car is getting filthy with dust flying everywhere and there's no place to turn around, so I go about another 100 yards before I can turn around in a parking lot and make my way out of the dusty ass road.. When I get out to where the guy is directing cars I pull up and say ( Where is the #@%% Car show at? it's certainly not down that road. He then points to the other road to the right and says , ( Its down there.) By this time Im about ready to jump out and F#ck this dummy up real quick. But I decide to just scream at him instead.. So I get out and get in his face and tell him how I spent 3 hours cleaning my car, then drive 1 hour to get there , only to have him send me down the wrong dusty ass road, and I get a 1/8" of dust on my car that I can't wipe off because I'll destroy my paint if I do.....So what does the guy say after I finish screaming at him?....He says ( I didn't know you wanted the car show, I thought you were looking for parking).......I didn't know what to say, I just shook my head ,got in my filthy azz Vette and came home...I may never do a car show again!!!! ..........................How can people be so friggen dumb?.........WW Last edited by WW7; 04-27-2013 at 8:33pm. |

Imagine I'm a liberal:
wow, hold on let's not jump the gun now. You should have asked for the car show. PLRX: He is an idiot with no common sense. Now, these events normally hire handicapped people, mentally challenged or BKA "slow". So Wayne, tell us about the show, and post some pictures. |

...Jon, No the floor mats are ok, I put the windows up before the dust got in and got them dirty....
...Duke, it was the Allegheny Co fair grounds, I don't think you will be going there much because it's about 150 miles from you....... ...Pete, I would have no idea how to clean the floor mats either, I would have to turn to our resident pro "Jon" for instructions on that one.......WW Last edited by WW7; 04-28-2013 at 6:00am. |

That cleaner looks pretty simple but we all know the removal and reinstall is the real PITA.

Car Shows.....you've seen one, you've seen 'em all. We go to the big Fiero meets in Austin and San Antonio....spend 20 minutes at the show, and then a handful of us take off and carve up the twisties. Sitting in the heat next to my car for 8 hours?? I'd rather have a root canal. Even for a charity....I'd just make a cash donation and go drive the car.

I lasted two years doing that. It got old, even though I was winning. I re-experience that during the Hot Rod Power Tour. People would drive all day to reach the day's destination, parked, pull up their chairs, sit on the parking lot, and bitch about the heat. |

I just go to see the cars I can't afford But it's always so damn hot. I've never taken part in the show myself, unless you count sitting in the parking lot for the boardwalk cruise. That was fun just getting attention from the beach babes

I actually enjoy car shows, with my display, I get a lot of "oh wows", hand shakes, a few hugs, lots of thank you, and get to exchange comments with vets, makes my day.
