:wavey: We had hoped that we'd be able to grab lunch (atleast as a family) during the show, but didn't want to take the chance on missing the judges.

Also, I thought they weren't supposed to look in the trunk or engine compartment on the "street driven class".?

Ray, just a thought

Was it the exhaust (sounds great) or were they trying to differientate from someone (?) in the area passing gas?. Just wondering, just wondering (and don't blame it on the kids).

Ken:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

:wavey:....But that's what kids are for:hehehe:

Congrats to go out to those of ya's that won awards, Kap and Larry:bravo:, we were in the crowd cheering ya's on:dancer01: .
We even had the pleasure of meeting several Ladies from the Marion County Corvette Club, Judy and Clare, who we spoke with and then introduced us to several of their members. They actually inspired us to want to check out their club. We also informed them of this site, of which they had no idea existed. Giving them a flyer that they're going to Xerox and hand out at their next meeting:thumbsup:

Although I didn't care much for the hoods down, tops up thing either, I guess I understand why it was done. But as soon as I had the opportunity to drop the top and pop the hood, I did.
Yea we registered to "show" our Vette's and to be judged, but for us it's not always about that or what "we" get to see in/on other Vette's. There's plenty of shows coming up, where we'll have the opportunity to see other vette's and their mods, because we're Vette owners.
For us, it's about meeting up with friends and sharing our cars with those who aren't Vette owners, those who'll only dream of owning a Vette and those who don't get to go to the Vette shows like we do. Watching the little kids faces (some of which belong to grown men) as they're in absolute Awe by the site of OUR Vette's, is a pretty cool thing. We also enjoy meeting others who own Vette's as well as those who don't.
I personally had several people aproach me asking if I'd start my car up and allow them to hear my Exhaust system. OHHHH YEA:dancer01: !

:thumbsup: A convertible Vette owner actually allowed a couple of people (one was a child) to sit in their car for a photo op:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ! Those are the sort of people I want to know.:thumbsup:

To all of you that we met, It was a real pleasure.:thumbsup:
To those of you that allowed us to hang out with you and let our hair down a bit (Kap, Carrie (SP?), Mary, Rob, 98Softail and his wife)...THANKS, it was FUN!!!
Kap, I'll bring the beer next time!:thumbsup:
Rob, no more mini golf for you!:lmao:
Sorry...to SteveK and his wife...It was good to see ya's again.

Jealosy will get you nowhere.:lmao: I think it was 2 Hole in One's:nanana:

I've been so busy I haven't even STARTED the vette (still in storage) since January!:(

I don't have anything worthy of showing. I go simply for the comaraderie. To see different places and cars and meet people I only talk to on here (or other sites) and see old friends.

I could care a crap less about judging or the judges:rolleyes:

I have my car because it pleases ME, and thats the only person I have to please!

Oh sh!t! the numbers don't match! :eek: There's a scratch on the window:eek: !

And God forbid there should be the wrong type of carpet on the floor:rofl1: :rofl1: :rofl1: :rofl1:

I know people put a lot of time, effort and $$$$ into restoring these cars and thats cool:thumbsup: FOr them, judging is everything as it should be.

For me, with some excetptions, the only time I pay a registration fee is if the $$ goes to a good cause (St. Judes, Wounded Warrior, support for a brother officer or emergency worker, or to support a child in need.)

Other than that, most of the time you'll find my rig in the parking lot:rofl1:

I agree with you, Shadow.
