RE: [DML] Car show disappoinment

["Videobob Moseley" <videobob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have always hated these types of car shows, because the winners that get 
picked never seem to be the same winners than might have been picked if the 
"people" were voting.
Besides, to be fair, in reality your car is just a car.
Sure, it is unique but you have not customized it have you?, so what's to 
brag about?
They are looking for creativity and craftsmanship.....just because you 
cleaned the car
doesn't mean you deserve an award for it.
Have you seen Curtis' car?
That homie has been customizing that car since 1982.
He deserves some awards.

If you want to win some shows other than a DeLorean concourse, then you need 
to start doing some fabrication, some special interior, paint, chrome, 
whatever.
Otherwise you simply have ...... a DeLorean.

They owe the god spots to the big auto customizers who set up year after 
year.
They make big money from these people.
They consider you a "one-timer", your car is basically stock, these other 
show cars might have $100,000 worth of chrome on them, that is what sets 
them apart.

Also, most likely was that you entered the show towards the end and they 
were out of spaces.
Most of these guys who enter the shows are pre-entered for years ahead of 
time.
They give the left over vendor spots to people like you.
