Here's my story from today:
Fast Lane Classic Cars hosted a car show today at their facility. I wasn't planning on going, but a buddy of mine with a completely stock 12,000 mile 1993 Mustang GT convinced me to go with him. I was less excited about the class we were going to be in....1980-DATE Stock Vehicles. We only saw one, straight from the showroom car in our class when we walked the showfield, but we didn't see everything. We were cars 175 and 176 that entered the show.
Unlike the Power Tour, where our cars where getting plenty of respect and interest, I was getting no love for my Anniversary. My buddy's Red GT was getting all kinds of love. My favorite comment was from a family reminiscing about how mom used to own a Thunderbird just like mine and I heard their oldest son (probably 12-15) say "It looks like a turd". I finally did meet a couple of people that actually knew what the car was, which was nice.
The weather was rolling in and we were loading the cars when the judges showed up. We got judged and then hit the road. We hit a couple of mini-showers and the drive home, but no wet roads (hadn't rained long enough to get the roads nasty). Anyway, he went back up there with his son and learned that we took first and second in the class (something he predicted), but he didn't predict that I would beat him. That's right, the "Turd" beat his low-mile GT.
