I went to a local car show sponsored by a Antique car club. It was a large organized event. It had a nice amount of cars. My buddy was there with his car and parked on either side was two of his friends with there cars. I met so many guys i know and the time flew by
There was this Puerto Rican guy there middle aged who had this mid nineties Honda Accord . It was a low mileage car and it was all done up the way these guys do these foreign cars. All four doors opened that gull wing style, it had the big speaker sound think. It was a low ryder with the chrome wheels. Nobody here would have liked it and honestly it looked out of place at this event. The thing was the workmanship was impeccable. It had a two toned custom interior including the dash that had to be done by a real craftsman. I mean it was unbelievable
Under the hood, the guy should have won best engine bay. It had all these custom hoses, chrome everywhere and perfect body color paint. Again not my thing but high workmanship. The best part is that he had the car running form the time he got there till he left. The car ran like a small electric motor, You could not tell it was running unless you noticed the belts moving. It was like a sewing machine. No movement nothing.
On the hood was a airbrushed mural that had to be done by a artist, it was perfect as well as the paint itself
I talked to the guy and complimented his car and he was very appreciative of that.
You dont have to like something to appreciate the time and talent that goes into it
There was a few nice B models. There was a old Willys pickup there in pristine condition that i fell in love with. I had one once a long time ago. I had a nice day for a few hours
