Filling An Ear

Yesterday the Car Show Season opened with a whimper, Medomak Cruising to Graduation. The Show was Super but the participants were cautious. The only complaint as far as a second hand source heard was about Mustangs. I personally saw trophy poachers moving around but they were almost legit changes. Nobody complained about so and so being in the wrong class. The usual screw up with the wrong numbers happened. No screaming during the awards ceremonies. I almost had to pinch myself to make sure I was awake.

Seeing old friends that you haven't seen in a while, is always a good time. Talking to old friends is even better. Letting people know what your up to face to face is always so much better than phones or e-mail. Seeing the changes in people is a little more difficult. Oh sure we packed on a few pounds, but the attitudes have changed in a lot of people. Some are not as happy with the political climate as they all hoped they would be. Some think the economy is going to kill the show season. Some are less aggressive and others were actually quieter than they have been in years.

I think a few could use a swift and painful kick in the ass because they are still the arrogant pricks they were and think they are the rulers of the universe. These are the ones who were laying low yesterday, murmuring amongst themselves from the far corners of the sight and giving me dirty looks at every glance. Don't worry I'm not scared of them or what they want to do to the show scene by calling for cookie cutter car show recipes pulled from a book of magic potions and spells sprinkled with a dose of look at me and what we've done.

What I said at the beginning about the participants being cautious is probably due to this group of Car Show Alchemists and their Grand Oompah Loompah watching everything that goes on, only later to let rip on the blog of opinions that everyone reads with glee, because lets face it, we all have a masochistic side.

Oh and before I forget, Hotkarz is doing their Best Of The Best Award thing on this, so make sure all you guys get your friends to vote for your car so you can get your $15.00 cheap ass trophy.
