Default Car Show Consolation

You know how it goes. You work for what seems like days to clean parts of your car not even a mechanic knows is there to get ready for the car show. Wax on - wax off. Q-Tip clean every nook and cranny.

Then for some reason - the JUDGE's car wins your class. Hmmmm

What can you do for all your time and efforts???





Oh well. Life DOES go on.

Looks to me like that cleaning paid off you with those HOOTERs girls crwoding your ride. Man I miss Jacksonville!

Thanks. I tried really hard to make sure they were wearing micro-fiber shorts before they leaned on my car, too. Unfortunately I didn't get very far with that line.

Real nice consolation prize!

As for the car show, I won't enter if the hosting club cars are in classes with the other show cars.
Something about that just is not right!
The hosting club should have a class all to themselves and let the participates judge them.
