Default Car Show Recognition

I went to a pretty big car show today with my old friend Sandman50, who drove his beautiful mildly customized 79 Vette. At least 450 to 500 cars showed up, maybe even more. Very diverse crowd, ranging in age from late teens to well into their 70's. It was overcast most of the day with sun poking thru the clowds every once in awhile, but at least there was no rain.
As it turned out, I had the ONLY Crossfire there, and I can honestly say my car got the most "lovin" from the crowds today than it ever has at any other show I've attended.
My car was parked between a beautiful red "all steel" 32 Ford coupe and a white 98 Vette convertible, and they might as well have been invisble, because at times it seemed as though everybody walkin by was stopping to check out the Crossfire.
If there only would have been a "Peoples Choice" award.
After going to car shows for over 35 years, and always driving something "rare" or out of the ordinary, nothing I've owned has ever drawn the crowds like this car.
