Believe it. Like I said earlier, most of the carshow spectators are NOT car people. Just bored punks looking for something to do on the long weekend. They have no respect for other people's property. Car enthusiasts wouldn't do that crap, but these idiots will.

Joe, what were they doing with the Riddler car?

Very clean Camaro Joe! My car looks orange in your pictures! lol I was quite honored to receive the Best of Show for Pro-Touring and the Peoples Choice Pick of the Show Award (which is a huge honor for me). It was fun being out there and being able to meet some really cool people.

Tony, thanks for the compliment. Really appreciate it. I know how picky you are about certain cars so it means a lot.. slv ws6 thanks for the pics! Had more show prep and plating to do. However I ran out of time and found out some bad news about a good close freind. Oh and the ridler cars were constantly being touched and seen a few kids and punks jumping on displays and messing with door and hood props and kicking over stanchions

Thanks for the compliment. Your 1st gen was among one of my favorites there. Very unique and drew one hell of a crowd. That car was very deserving of a ridler award. Definately one of the most creative and unique rides there. Btw was that you standing by the car?

Not sure, I wasn't there all the time. I usually come by around 1-3pm, but I was there most of the time yesterday. Wow I feel really good you said it deserves the Rilder Award! But I'm quite happy that I got the People's Choice Award I think that means more to me. The Ridler Award is given by a couple of Judges where the Peoples Choice Pick of The Show means it was a crowd pleaser to me.

Your widebody GTO is freaking nice man. Nicest one I have ever seen. Must have cost a fortune to do that kit.

So did either Joe or TJ take home any trophies this year? Both cars were immaculate.

Joe, I tried to look for you around your car on Saturday. My 5 yr old son REALLY liked it. He told me that I need to get a Camaro like yours.

Wife and I were up there for a few hours yesterday, we had a good time. When I pointed out Joe's car she said, "That isn't Joe's car!" so I had to drag her over there to prove it. There were a lot of nice rides there, Jimmie Vaughan didn't disappoint as usual. I really liked his '63 Riv. Some cars though left me scratching my head thinking, "WTF is that car doing here?" But, hey, to each their own.

Betcha don't have the ***** to put up either some money or your title against that "Grand Am". Hell, I bet he would rape you with his other ride as well.

Just because you don't have the same tastes as someone else doesn't mean that you should judge their choices.

But ya all the little kid running around with no parents watching them was making me really nervous they kept on trying to get in my car for some reason and I would be like HEY U and they would take off running, lol......
