Default Show day glitter nightmare, funny but....

Take my word for it, if you are at a show and a young lady that is covered in silver glitter wants to inspect your car, especially the black carpet, ask her to look from afar. Even my super horsepower shop vacuum hasn't gotten it out for six months.

I went to a car show this past weekend and someone actually sprinkled glitter on the tires of their mid-90s Malibu.

Yeah, I do allot of car shows in the summer and it's getting to be more popular to spread glitter around the car. I'll never do it and I don't vote on cars if they do, it looks really tacky to me. One thing I do at shows that most people don't is I let kids get in my 98. It really makes their day and 90% of the time the parents take pictures. I've received a few "kids choice" awards.
I did a car show in Illinois at a Chevy dealership. I open up my C5s fully, hatches open, doors open, hoods open, and tops off. Well the dealership had some huge trees that were shedding these floating seeds, my 98 was covered inside and out. It's been a year and I still find one of those seeds once in awhile. My 02 only had a few as it was in a different location because it was in a different class. My 02 got 1st place but my 98 didn't get anything. There was some awesome Vettes in the modified class but everyone of them got those seeds everywhere.

Truth is stranger than fiction. One of the car clubs out here has their show at one of the local cathouses every summer. The judges are the working girls. Honest truth.

All that glitters is not gold apparently.

That would suck having all that stuff inside the car as black carpets seem to show everything.

Yep, I've seen it sprinkled around cars at shows. Steered clear of it.

Another favorite is the puddle of tire dressing at the bottom of the tire. I guess they figure if a little is good, and more is better, then too much must be just right!

But wait, there's more: overdone displays...

That's funny! I'll have to take pics this year and post 'em up here. It's pretty crazy, but a lot of fun. Some of the ladies should not be out in the daylight. (if you know what I mean) I think the Moonlite Bunny Ranch across the street gets most of the uh...how should I say it.......ones in their prime? That's where they should have it.

Yep! That's my story and I am sticking to it. Wait, I am a single man, hold on here. Maybe I WILL head down to the 'pink Cadillac' tonight, now that most of the dang glitter is gone.
