Car Show Quotes

My stepdad is a big time C-body fan. So, he took his 1970 Sport Fury S/23 to a Mopar show years ago. He had to park with the truck class because the C-body class spots were already filled up. So the judge already judged the C-bodies, and my stepdad says to the him "My car was not judged, I'm parked with the truck class". So him and the judge go over to the car, mind you he said this in a snotty way.

Judge- "What's an S/23, they never made them.

My stepdad- Yes they did, it's in the brochure.

Judge- No they didn't, I'm a Mopar expert, I never heard of one. Those S/23 stickers from Walmart?

Lost count how many times people think my 71 Cuda is a Camaro.
or
Does the Cordoba have "Corinthian Leather"
 
My dad liked the term "Race motor." "Does that thing have a race motor?" I would ask. "I don't know what that means?" All motor's are race motors if on a track!
 
My wife & I have been showing our Mopars at shows from area shows to the Nationals since 1987. Got exposed to some ******** and know-it-alls that didn't have a clue. Mostly what I remember is the great times we had and fun people we met over the years. Some we get together with a few times a year. Others we have vacationed with. Most are Mopar people but some are just car people that are fun to hang around with. We don't attend for trophies and usually have a "Display only - No Vote" card on the dash. We don't go to as many shows as we used to but still look forward to the season. My point is....If it's not fun, don't do it. If you enjoy looking at cars (other than your own) and meeting car people there is plenty to see and even more to learn. I've heard the stupid and negative remarks too but I choose to chalk it up to what it is....
 
I flipped back through the posts and noticed that the majority of bad comments are from the northern states and more specifically the northeast. I don't hear bad comments on my car. Of course I am from the south and likely been sheltered.
 
*EDIT ON MY STORY.* I got it ALL correct now. Sorry. I knew I had PART of it correct. Corrected is in red and underlined.

My stepdad took his 1970 Sport Fury S/23 to the Mopars @ Englishtown show years ago. He WAS parked in the C-body row. The judge said this in a snotty way:

Judge- "What's an S/23, they never made them.

My stepdad- Yes they did, it's in the brochure. (He explained what the car was)

Judge- No they didn't, (He didn't buy what my stepdad told him.) I used to sell these cars and I'm an expert. Where did you get those S/23 stickers, Walmart?

*MIND YOU THEY ONLY PRODUCED 689 OF THESE CARS, DIVIDE IT BY 48 STATES, THAT'S 14 CARS PER STATE.*

As I said, :upyours::up:
