A lotta spectator love but nothing from the judges. The level of money and quality people have in their cars now a days is unbelievable. They either spend $60,000+ on a build or restoration or they plop down $40,000 on something new and put $20,000 in mods into it. Doesnt seem like the Great Recession had much effect on the car hobby.

I got there around 11:30 and since I usually prep my cars the day before all they usually need at the show are a once over with the duster, a quick wipe of the front if there are any bugs there and some tire shine on the treads. It seemed today people were coming up and checking out the car before I was even done with it. After a couple of hours I needed some shade, water and there were other cars to look at and take pics of. I don't think I have ever talked to more great people who I felt genuinely appreciated the car.
