Clone/ tribute cars
Click to expand...
Clone or tribute cars don't bother me. As long as they are done correctly using all parts from the original rusted mess.

In the 70's we would use 318 cars to fix new superbees and R/T's for the dealer. They would be so twisted but Insurance would want them fixed. I saw one of them at Carlisle Pointed it out to the owner. He never had a clue.
 
I went to a local cruise in Ancaster. The DJ played Bollywood Jazz (only way I can describe it) all evening, at least until I left. I think they wanted everyone to leave. I don't like just 50'S but I'd take that anytime instead. Also it was real loud.
 
people that have a problem with clones..... yeah, i hate that :D
LOL.....
I'm going to put the "factory 360 stripes" on one of my dusters. You know why? I think it looks good. I'm not trying to fool anyone. It's the way i like it. Oh, and it's got a 360 in it (factory 318 car). Clone?? Nope! my car, i'll do it the way i like best. I said "I" like best. I couldn't give a rats rip roped wrinkle with a jingle who likes it or not. My car, my money, makes me boss. Sorry you paid $ 127,500 for your documented original and nobody knows the difference. :D That's on you for caring what others think, because I sure don't !
:rofl:
 
I know a guy that owns a Challenger. He puts down every other Challenger there. It drives me nuts. I say to each his own. I can appreciate the work put into a car. Wether it’s patina or show quality.

People have no respect for other cars. Never leave you car open, Hood or trunk. This was the worst.

I walked to the Food stand not far away with friends and members of this site. As we returned I saw two legs and sneakers sticking out of my trunk on my Duster.. Having a pizza in my hands I walked up and yelled. He jumped from the trunk laughing and said he was checking my vin. as he scurried away.

After he disapeared in the crowd I saw he scratched my rear stripe. Someone new him and we went looking but he left. He is a member of Mopar Madness . They wanted to see if it was a clone.

The same guy was at the car earlier and was talking to his buddies. He made a comment that I ruined a nice car by changing the color . The car was originally Bahama Yellow. I painted it cobra orange. Someone in there group thought it was their car.

Now my son and I know the guys that were with him and their cars. What comes around Goes around.

I found that people at race tracks are a better crowd. After doing the show seen. racers walk around the car with their hands behind them. Not elbows on the fenders or leaning on it as they talk to the guy next door.

I've always thought the Sportsman Pits at any Drag Race is the best car show there is..
 
What bugs me the most are the guys that show up with their rice burners . I guess it's just a peeve of mine.:drama:
 
The guy beside me that starts his car every 3 minutes and revs it to 7000 rpm trying to impress someone.
 
The beat up Hondas,Mitsubishis and the like with carbon fiber stickers on the hood and trunk, stick on spoilers, muticolor bolt on plastic, fart can mufflers, plastic tow hooks and stickers all over them, especially stickers selling shoes or skateborad stuff. And, the crowd of storytellers hanging around those things bragging about the drifting and track days.

Donks take second place for worst space wasters.

Most rat rods and low riders are wasted space at the show too, however there are a few worth looking at when they are done well.

And what is it with stuffed animals and car shows....?
 
How bout the folks with the little model of their car on a rotating stand.. Yeah, you know who you are.....

Hood props..... fix your dam hood...

The 120 point resto cars whit the origial battery.... and anything that rolls off a trailer, fires up and drives to it' parking spot..
 
My pet peeves at car shows: $26 hot dogs, "authentic" tacos, under cooked ribs, warm beer, the salty "cheese" goo on "nachos", Pepsi, burnt hamburger patties on the outside that are raw in the inside, and portapotties.
 
My biggest pet peeve is seein small block Chevys in everything. I get a Chevy in a Chevy, and that's cool. But small blocks in T Buckets. In 40 Fords. In old Chryslers. In old Ford trucks. In rat rods.....and on and on and on.

It's like these people think they're doin somethin new and uninvented. Whatever happened to Flathead Fords? Oldsmobile 394s? Early Chrysler Hemis? Buick Nailheads? Buick straight eights? There are so many different old engines out there and yet people always take the easy way out and act like it's somethin new.
 
What bugs me? Alcoholics, and the blubbering **** outa there lips. Can't you wait ti'll the shows over.
 
I go to one judged show a year, and its an all Mopar show. That's about all I can take. I think those laser cut hood and door props you see on new cars are ridicules. I don't really enjoy sitting in a parking lot all day, how much walking around can you do? I miss cruising. Now, most people cruise to the show and back home to the hibernation of their garage until the next parking lot sit in. I'd be interested in how many of us live in a town that still has a hot cruise strip.
 
The car engine all done up with flashing lights looking like a Christmas tree.
Your showing a car and the guy next to you pulls in parking his car show car three feet away.....come on man give me some room we're not at the grocery store.
When fan voting isn't controlled....grabbing a stack of ballots and voting for their car.
