There have only been a handful of shows where my Crossfire was welcome. There are shows every week, but they are mostly "old" car snobs. At one, a guy came over and with great disdain in his voice said, "What are YOU doing here?" I told him, "the same thing those two new Corvette owners are doing." He just gave a bit of a snarl and walked away.

I just got a flyer from a charity car show put on by the local firefighters because I entered last year's show. The judging was done by the participants. I was up for best import and thought sure I had won because I watched as a number of people put my car down as their choice. When it came time for the awards it seems that no one had actually voted for mine (so they said). Probably would have won if I had that AMG badge on then. LOL

On my invitation, they said I was welcome and could pay the $30 entry fee but because my car was newer than 1980, I would not be considered for an award.

The charity lost $30 that day.
