Took the 'bird to its first car show (PICS!!!)

May 11, 2007, 11:58:57 PM

Yep, there's a local cruise in goin from 9am-3pm tomorrow (Sat...cause in 2 mins, it will be sat morning technically). I'll be up early to give her a bath, then it's time for the car show. I'm pretty curious to see what people think of it (if anybody pays any attention). Funny enough, it's at my old high school too. Hopefully I'll have the camera with me to take some pics.

***EDIT***

Pics are at the bottom of this page ;)

You have to have the camera to take pics.
Just sit back, enjoy and listen carefully for any comments. Their reactions will probably vary from "that's sweet" to "what is that doing here." It's hilarious.
I can't wait to get my car back to the cruises, have fun!

Yeah thats what I figure. Some people will appreciate how clean the car is (especially since it's a daily driver), some may be drawn in by the "Ford 5.0 HO" plate, others will scoff at it. It'll be interesting to see. I just wish I could've had my exhaust done before hand so the growl of it would spark some attention, but oh well. It'll be here soon enough. Some keen-eared spectators will notice the understated rumble through the stock exhaust, though.

Shows are fun. Usually I get either "wow I used to have one of those and I wish I still did" or "holy one of these still exists in good shape"! Shows usually have some cool stuff to take pictures of. The one show I forgot to take my camera to had a '66 factory 427 dual quad Fairlane. It was a sweet car.

Woooow...a 1966 427 Fairlane? My fav body style ever...mmmm. And yeah, I've been to tons of shows with dad's Chevelle, but I'm bettin the Tbird will provide a much different kind of attention.

You wanna get there attention when you leave pull out on the road, get her straight, then stop and put her sideways with a big, nasty, smokey burnout. LOL, just kidding, they might not let you ever come back. Good luck.

There were no trophies or anything given out; it was just a cruise in. But I did win a couple of door prizes - a free oil change and tire rotation (which I need anyway!). So that was pretty cool. Anyway, without further ado, here are some pics:

To my surprise, we got the whole family fleet up there. My dad's Chevelle to the left, my Uncle's Caprice in the middle, and of course my Tbird on the right. I need some exhaust BADLY cause my car was so quiet in comparison when we cruised in!

Just last night, playing GT4, I had realized I never seen a Grand Sport Corvette before...low and behold...

As many of you know...one of my favorite cars of all time right there.

As for my car, half the people walked by without even looking, but the other half almost did the same thing but seemed to be drawn in when they saw my nice clean intake stickin out (as you can see in the pics). I didn't overhear any comments, though, since me and a friend were walkin around most of the time. It wasnt a huge turnout, but it was fun to be back at car shows again. And did I meantion that I NEED EXHAUST!!??
