I swear, there are more weird folks showing up at car shows every time I go to one. My son and I cruised over to one this afternoon and found some really odd folks. One was a guy just staring at people from his creepy van with no windows. It was the perfect specimen for an A Team van though. Early 80's GMC G20. Then there was the dude with the spray painted '78 Camaro that took 15 minutes to figure out how to back into a parking spot. Next up we had the very proud gentleman next to his '84 (I think) Turbo T Bird. I think those cars are cool, but his was rough and the interior was filled with all kinds of crap and trash. He was still cleaning it and had a whole poster going on about how rare the car was. After that we had the guy with the Chrysler Cordoba who was all too eager to go on and on about it for a very long time. He was really nice though, but a little overwhelming. There was also the guy with a newer Mustang Boss, who was cracking me up. I steered clear of him, because he was talking everyone's ear off even more than the Cordoba guy. The best part was all the stuff he was pulling out of his ass. He would hold his key up to everyone (same key I have for my F150) and tell them how it is a special key that loads over 300 parameters into the car to custom tune it. Good times. Last time I went to a show I came across this guy with a well traveled '99 F150 extended cab that went out of his way to tell me how rare it was because it came with "suicide doors". Another funny was when I was walking by the GN and this guy pointed at it and said "check out that GN". His buddy said "meh, too bad it isn't one of the good ones." I am hoping he was referring to the GNX and not the mystical twin turbo V8 FBI ultralight GN. There were plenty of cool folks out there though. It just seems the oddballs were out in force tonight.
I guess to each their own.
