Stuff you hate to see at Car shows

OK, since we're throwing out personal preference-type issues, I'll go there:

1970-73 RS bumperettes on non-RS Camaros.

I just dislike this look vehemently.

No offense to anyone, just not my cup of tea.

I think it's more disturbing that Lee has more posts in this thread than all of you combined

I'm beginning to wonder if he even enjoys himself at all when he goes to a car show lol

I probably overreacted in my previous post but I take research very seriously when it comes to musclecars. The anomalies and human errors on the individual cars are what make them so interesting to me. Now with that said without vintage photos or known original cars that I have seen that way I would not have given it much thought or validity.

Just my thoughts -- so here goes. Parents take their children to car shows, etc. and that is great. However, some parents don't control these little people and they run amok. Now for my SAD experience. I had my 67' Corvette coupe in a car show, surrounded with plastic "chain", etc. I couple came to me and started talking about the car. Their little boy was with them and somewhat under their control, but before anyone could react, the little fart slipped under the chain, grabbed a hold of door mirror and tried to pull himself up so he could look inside the car. YUP -- broke the mirror off the door. DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually I do enjoy going to local car shows though it's been a while. I go with low expectations on the quality of the cars. And most meet said expectation so I look and always compliment the owner on his ride. Then when I see one that exceeds my expectations I take the time to talk about the car with the owner.

I do say this . . . it's more enjoyable and stress free when you just go then if you bring a car with you.

Muscle cars with RWL tires that should have red lines (or in the case of this GTO Judge - blackwalls or white lines)
