I enjoy attending car shows. I like seeing all the other cars and meeting other car people. I don't get radically serious about it because I think that takes the fun out of it. I don't go to win - although I do sometimes.

Can't wait for spring for the shows to begin again.

I like
Father's Day Concours D'Elegance exotic car show in Beverly Hills, CA to showcase Hybrids, Classics - National Exotic Car | Examiner.com, or
Monterey Motorsports Reunion 2011 - Jaguar Featured Marque
and Home | Palos Verdes Concours D'Elegance

Waaay cool vintage race cars and bikes, not your usual stock C-5 & C-6's that you usually find at you local shows.

The Ghost's paint is not show quality. But, misdirection may work, once I open the hood the countless mods may direct eyes away from the paint.

Hell, niether is mine. Chips, scratches. It's a great place, out of the sun if you want-plenty of shade.

Dan, Your Red Vette's paint is way better than The Ghost's.

A buddy of mine owns the H.A.C.K. Shack and he has a FactoryFive '33 Ford that he shows (and is for sale). I go to a couple with him every year.

I like going to a few shows but my only problem is that I usually go with GB and his super show car and we end up parking next to each other and then everyone comes to drool over his car and uses my car as a bench.

I think I prefer the mixed shows over the corvette only shows as there is more variety of cars as well as people. All those hawaiian shirts and gold watches at the vette shows make me feel awkward.

Yeah, thats what I was talking about. Mine is a turd compared to many of them. But I like being able to park in the action. Usually our local smaller shows give the money to charities too. So I register for that reason alone.
