[DML] Re: Car show disappoinment

["vin00538" <lawrencesr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Max,
I know how you feel, I've entered my D in the  Detroit Autorama  THE 
BIGGEST CAR SHOW other than the auto show here in Michigan for 3 
years straight without a chance all my entries were RETURN TO SENDER 
ADDRESS UNKNOW OR UNDELIVERABLE, well I got pissed this year when I 
got it back & the address I sent the application to along with a 
check for $164.00 was blacked out so I knew the post office didn't 
use marker on this. I found out that the guy that runs this show is 
about 1 hour away so I hand deliverrd it back to him & told him the 
hole story, he told me he was sorry but even now he couldn't do 
anything because the show was over booked as it was. so, I didn't do 
any thing with my car like clean it up or polish the s.s, The next 
thing I know I get 6 exihibiers passes & a day & time to have my car 
there 3/3/03 Less than 1 week to clean it up & scuff pad the 
stainless + find stantions since my friend sold his, buy carpet, 
unload my trailer & get it al together, my friends have all called to 
chip in Man word sure gets around when people want tickets for the 
show. You just have to remember you have to get your foot in the door 
for then to envite you back again.
Best of luck. Lawrence
