Thread: back from car show

Tweet

It's good when they asked what year is it? You tell them, and then they say you know the one I really like is the year before or the year after the one you have. But just think you are the one with the car at the show!! Where is there car?

Hey Barb, missed this thread, was either at work or during the crash last weekend. Nice shots. I can't wait to get my truck on the road and to shows. Its going to be probably at least a year, but I can wait! I'm not sure I saw Charlies car, did you happen to get a shot of it?
My favorite comments from coworkers are when you going to paint it? Drive it to work sometime! and my favorite, just these little snide looks and head shakes, as I talk about what I was doing over my days off!(like what idiot would waste his time doing that, you gotta feel for his wife look!)I'm a nurse on a Neonatal intensive care unit. Most people think if your a male nurse your gay or whimpy. Nurses also eat their own for lunch!

here is one of charlies. he is parked next to mine. sorry not a better pic.

I happen to love nurses. My hubby was a corpsman. Most overworked and underpaid in the medical business.

you guys were right. I had the only monte. After talking to all types of people that owned the cars there i came to a conclusion that most classic car owners are like women with new babies. They are very proud of their achievements and rightfully so. There are some who are purist and their greatest thrill is finding the parts that will make it look completely original. There are some that just want a good running, looking and sounding auto. There are others that put a tremendous amount of time and effort and then tweak their cars to make it their own. Those were my favorite ones as they would answer any questions and tell you where they got a certain part that you were interested in. Then there are some with their head up their a## that want to just show off so them can slam all others on what they have. I really enjoyed the show and am looking forward to the next one. I got the most pi## offed about a guy that drove up in a rusted out k car telling my son that his car was not much and then stole his little american flag that my son had put near his radiator. I usually stop my son from speaking his mind but this time i let him say what he wanted. He told the guy he was full of shit. I just stood there and smiled. We did not realize that he had stolen the flag until the guy was long gone. I told Charlie that anyone that would so that is an ass and to forget it.

Thanks Denny for the link.

Some of the finest people I've known were Corpsmen as was my youngest daughter.

Thanks guys. I'm a fluke at work other than my boss who has also restored an original 1966 skylark(I think) body off restoration . He is organizing a drive your hot rod to work day next month. I thought about taking a photo!
I really respect the corpsman who become RN's they are the best. The folks have really put their asses on the line, and are always a welcome addition to our unit!
