    Things I Saw At The Car Show

    I took some pictures at the car show. I didn't take many pictures. Why? Because it was sunny and 90° out, and, when I arrived I was already thirsty. No biggie, I thought I'll just buy some water there. So I started walking.

    I thought "somebody must be selling water soon". To I kept walking. I started to get real thirsty. "Water must be for sale soon" I thought kept walking. Now I started to get dizzy. Everyone had water but me. I saw someone's dog drinking water out of a bowl. I thought "that lucky #####".

    To walk through this show and see all the cars, it must have been two or three miles (felt like a million). But someone had the brilliant idea not to sell any water until the end. By the time I found the water I wasn't interested in cars or pictures. I was half dead.

    Someone was wiping down their car with these:

    Some cars were pretty nice:

    This green color is the best I've seen at hiding defects. This car was actually very nice:

    What a shame, but most people are unaware of the damage they (or the person who 'details' their cars) are doing.

    Been nice to have found SON1C before you had to trod all those miles while you were a-thirst...
    Surely he would have had a spare bottle of sparkly he would have given to the cause.

    There were drinks/food sold at like 15 different vendors. Must not have been thirsty enough.

    I couldn't find them until all the way at the end of the place (after you walked through all the cars in a snake pattern). Maybe they were there and I just didn't see them...

    Then like a dummy I walked all the way to the Monster drinks truck at the other end thinking "they are probably selling drinks there"... No drinks, but a lot of girls walking around with their butt cheeks hanging out in high heels promoting something. The one girl looked like her shorts were stolen from a toddler. I'm not complaining though :0 !!!

    I was at a cruise a few weeks ago when someone pulled out a beach towel and some aresol detailer and wiped down their newer Vette.

    Other attendees borrowed his stuff and wiped down there's as well.

    Saw tons of swirls on some expensive cars.

    I rarely, if ever, see proper car-care techniques at shows. Whenever I use AG/proper methods I get looks from people wiping their garage queen down with a dirty rag.
