Trophy Hunters

ramenth said

The people stopping and chatting, the kids giving thumbs up. One instance where a ten or eleven year old kid says "hey, Mister, this car is cool." The people hanging around your car to look it over and say things like "build it yourself, nice job!" Folks waving to you on the street as you cruise by. All priceless and worth a helluva lot more than a trophy ever will be.

Well put.... When I got into this car thing, I never intended it to be a trailer queen or 100 point show car.. It started when Monica and I started dating 7 years ago.. we went to a car show, and talked about how we would both like to be cruising someday, hit a show, pull chairs out of the trunk, enjoy good company and look at cool cars..

Thats the plan I have stuck with... I had limited knowledge when I started.. My Dart is a long way from done, but already it has brought me closer to my gear head friends, brought alot of joy to Monica and I... and introduced me to so many great people... I love when people tell me im doing a good job with it, I love the looks.. and yeah, I like when a kid gives me the thumbs up, or a group of them yell and scream for a burnout LOL (sometimes they get lucky too LMAO) ...

I go to shows to get away from the stress of regular living.. talk to cool people and just relax and stare...
