First car show -- advice??
Be ready to chat with complete strangers, have zero expectations of winning anything, expect criticism (especially from people without cars there), don’t take anything to heart, have a good time and make some new friends, even if you never see them again.
This is me (and a dude from hotrod magazine) at the first show I took my car to. He asked if he could interview me for an online article and I told him “come back later” since I’m anti-social and needed a break from all the questions, even told a few guys it wasn’t my car. All in all it’s a good experience and if you’re not a people person it’ll help you become one.
