Default Car show judge wanted me to open my trunk

I told him I have no trunk or hatch to open on my 79. I think it pissed him off because he quickly went to the next car.

Nothing worse then an argumentative judge that has no clue !!!

Had one arguing once that the stingray emblem was missing on my fender. He then asked if he could open my door to look inside,
best part was watching him try to open it ........... I told him if he didn't know how to open it to forget about it, that he really didn't need to have a better look at
the inside,

WHAT A FOOL !!

I got a zero for my trunk score once and when I questioned it I was told that my trunk "wasn't open for the judges to look at". After telling him that his judges were idiots I left and have never gone back. Idiots.

I'd like to point one of those guys to this view, hand him an accessories key and say, "knock yourself out, my man."

Shortly after 9/11 I drove into an airport parking lot in my C4 coupe. They were checking all cars coming in and the security officer asked me to open the trunk. Without thinking I pushed the button to pop the hatch. He laughed and pushed the hatch back down and I went on.
