yeah i think i sucks that newer sports cars arent really wanted at these car shows. i know that alot of us put maybe not more money but more time in our cars and i would say that most of us do the work ourselves. i know it aggrevates me when i was at the block party in covington and some guy told me i couldn't park in a certain section because it was for like pre 79 vehicles. so basically if i had my car which i did everything myself on it and it looks good( in my opinion) and a 77 monte carlo that looks bad they would rather the monte carlo. doesnt make sense to me. i know i take pride in my car. like i said i did the mechanic work, body work, paint. i didnt drop it off somewhere and pick it up when it was done. i know im just bitchin, and there are quite a few people that do all the work themselves, but i dont see why we dont have the right to be in car shows or pushed to a back section. maybe im just jealous because i dont have an older car. i dunno what do you guys think?

1)the detail shop down the street in Covington called "Tropical Shades" or something like that, the owner lets cars like ours park there, really nice guy. "BanditKar" a yellow CETA parks/shows there sometimes...
2) I hear they (city of covington) may be changing this back to allow newer cars, the northshore mustang club has done a lot of work on this effort...
3) the one in Slidell is the same way, but they cannot stop anyone from parking on the side of their show, like by that chinese buffet (old longstar)
FWIW-I dont like it either but a lot of shows are like this, the biggest one I can think of is CTC (crusing the coast) unless you have extensive mods, they will not alllow you in. Some of the bigger shows around the country like good guys have area setup just for our cars but those are the big boys...I also heard the reason covington did it was because after katrina, they had such an influx of people and cars, they could not handle all of them so they made that decision, now I think they are starting to drop off some...who knows.

Drove by the "car show" in olde town friday night, it looked like 8-12 cars but it was so foggy and damp you had to feel sorry for those guys, looks like someone in slidell is trying to copy the covington car show? Good concept, bad weather, bad turn out, IMHO. Anyone go?
COLDS suck!
