Disturbing night at my car show last night.

[has2bmopar]

that is life.

Some of us drove Mopars before they got cool, a lot jumped on the train in the last 10+ years.

Ummmm.... Mopars were ALWAYS cool... :laughing7:

 

[cm23uoc]

At least with working AC.

 

[70NPORT]

Ummmm.... Mopars were ALWAYS cool... :laughing7:

Why, yes...yes they are. Aren't they. Even the most ragged, smelliest, dogged out one like some of what I saw at Carlisle last year, are still cool in my book.

Ummmm.... Mopars were ALWAYS cool... :laughing7:

at least fuselage c-bodies can be really cool. If the vacuum hoses don't work as they should or have a problem with the heater core it is real cool in the winter

 

[Mr C]

At least with working AC.

Mopars with working AC? You've obviously never locked horns with Autotemp II LOL.

 

[70NPORT]

I literally have hell fire coming out of the vents in winter time, and ok air as of last summer....knock on wood.

 

[Stormer]

Literally?

Those types hang out in a small corner of my local cruise with the tuners. They behave for the most part because they know their usual BS behavior won't be tolerated.

I have an EX friend like that, the kind that won't talk to anyone at a show unless they approach him,

I'm not that, I'm the guy who parks, and walks around, and ask questions, "Where'd you get that" "how'd you do this"

I like talking cars, I like talking ways of restoring things, I like that stuff.

I do too. I'll make a couple of laps talking to people and taking pictures. There's usually 150-200+ cars at the Friday night cruise with 25-30 coming and going about every hour so a couple of laps are necessary to see everything. I usually hang out at my car between laps. Always some people coming by to talk and ask questions.

One thing I never got are the types that spend all the time on a chair with their car without any interest in the whole event. There used to be one guy with a fully restored BMW CS Coupe in the car corral of one of the largest swap meets in my area, doing nothing but wiping his car and opening and closing hoods and doors. Insane.

 

[fc7_plumcrazy]

I agree.
I am really rarely at my own car the the shows as I prefer to walk around and see other cars

 

[commando1]

The shows are first come first served when it comes to choosing a place to park.
Except the Corvette guys. One guy arrives early, cordons off an area with lawn chairs reserving the whole area for when his fellow Corvette buddies show up late. Then six guys direct them backing in exactly spaced so the space between them is two open doors wide + 12".
FN elitists...

LOL! That must be a universal corvette a-hole code.......they do that at my cruise too. The Mustang guys are starting to do it also. The first cruise of the season is April 5th........I'll post a few pictures. LOL!

 

[cm23uoc]

Show us the pics of the chairs. LOL.
Something German tourists are known for by the way reservating the public chairs at the beach with their towels early in the morning.

I sense a C body blockade brewing

 

[1966newport]

if the op er hates the show this much nobody will miss him and his crappy it aint my way attitude

 

[polara71]

Everyone will notice weather Stan is there or not

 

[bluefury361]

There is a Mopar club here in Birmingham that consists mainly of contempary Challengers, Chargers, Vipers etc. and a few 60's-70's B & E bodys. I think I have the only C body in the bunch.
I am a member but don't associate much. I don't think they get it.
It's like the Corvette/Mustang crowd..... They all have to park together and never wander outside their little area. I drive in with my Coronet or 300 and someone jumps up and tries to wave me into a "reserved" parking area near them. It's good to feel wanted... but no thanks.

I'll always give credit to the guy who shows up with a car that shows some original character, is in process, or just not up to show standards...... These are the real car guys who withstand the scorn of the spectators/critics who always have "a nicer car at home in the garage" but drove a 2013 Itchypussy to the show.
