Car shows are more trouble than enjoyment?

[glenng6]

I've been attending car shows as a spectator for years and we have plenty to choose from in my neck of the woods.

The grass field reminded me of one show that I will never go to again.
It was in a field which was a part of a violet farm, but no violets in this field.
The grass was overgrown, and the place was teeming with ticks which are known to carry Lyme Disease, which is also prevalent where I live.

Never again!

I did hear that the show was much better this year, but I don't like bugs so I skipped it !

Sitting among bugs all day would annoy the heck out of me. A few weeks ago, I attended the Snakes on the Mountain show in Bethlehem, PA. Most of the cars were parked on grass, except for some super expensive exotics. The difference was that there were no bugs, and the grassy areas were like the fairways on a golf course. Glenn

I truly believe that car shows are like a Clint Eastwood movie..."The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly." My 2025 GT is not worthy of showing, not yet, so I attend some shows in my area. I am super careful to not touch anything; though, if the owner is in a talking mood, I'll chat. I've had more good experiences than bad. Though, I refer everyone back to the movie title.

Here in FL car shows are a business. Yes they raise money for good cause (raffles), but basically 80% of the entrants get a trophy of some some sort. Pay ur 35.00 registration fee, get a $10 trophy. Plus you see the same cars and same people at many shows. It gets boring, frankly

I don't necessarily go to show my car, especially to be judged. Often times it is just the club members lining up their cars and popping the hood, so others can see what the engine compartment looks like! Crowded! Glenn
