There's a car under there? Holy cow...I can understand a few, but he's got the whole garage sale thing going on!! Very ugly IMO and I would have to tell him that if I were there. It really takes away from the car and that shouldn't be what he's trying to do.. Amazing...

I'll take two. One to blow up, and the other to bury the first with.

WTF!!! Okay I had not clue who this guy is except for all your rantings about him.
Then I look at those pictures. OMG what the $%^* is that all about? You cant even see the car. Are the judges supposed to look at that and say wow he won all those I'd better vote for him. Thats is the guadiest ugliest display I've ever seen in my life. My entire life around cars. I'm gonna have to go to the next show just so I can voice my disgust at his car. Let me know where and when, I'll fix it.

Speechless!!! Not you Ellis. I do believe his display has to be one of the fugliest I have ever seen!!! I still can't believe that they accepted him into the show. I thought it was kind of an honor to be in this show but now I am not quite so sure. I hope he wins something and Steve and I don't so we can berate him for all eternity. We will see. The awards are at 4:30 today. Should be interesting. They put Steve in a class with a 55 Chevy and me in a class with a custom 67 Camaro. Will post later tonight to let you all know haw it goes.

Snap a pic of "Pete" if you can... I'm almost certain this is a guy I stood in line by a couple years back at the swap meet. Talking a bunch of crap about taking his early C5 and doing something with graphics of an eagle "FOR THE TROOPS."

Lets see... early wagon wheels on the car, big screaming eagle decal/mural painted by a 5th grader... lots of support the troops BS... check on all points.

He had the chest hair, gold chain, clueless thing going as I recall, too. I'd need a pic to know for sure...lol

Someone should point out that REAL support of the troops is not done by spending a bunch of money on the car and showing it. To even suggest that pisses me off.

Maybe I should shine up the H2 and get a yellow rubber wrist band (the "livestrong" one) to lay in front of it so I can make a placard saying I'm showing the truck in honor and support of Lance Armstrong.

Thats about as meaningful in my opinion...

Yeah, this guy gives car shows a BAD name. It's a pitiful play on our emotions for supporting our troops.....because he ONLY does it to win trophies. Pathetic!!!

Almost as bad was the woman Linda watched walk past the Fire-painted boat & truck dragging her hand along the side of both of them for the ENTIRE length. I mean hey, it's ONLY an $80k paint job fer Christ-sakes lady!!!
