My car is no “show car”… but it’s nice. The paint is a solid color instead of “candy”, because I knew that those rock chips would need to be touched up at some point. Now, just because my car is a “driver”, it doesn’t mean that I’m going to take it down an un-paved gravel road either!

FMJ stated that it's probably the folks trying to win an award that have the "attitude". I’m probably naive about the “competition” at car shows… that is, competing to win an award and not competing for the shaded parking spot. But I’m going to guess that someone who has gone to all of the trouble to chrome and polish everything UNDER their car is going to want someone who is “judging” cars to notice the finer points of their ride. I’m also going to guess that if an armadillo has managed to run up under this work of art while said work of art is traveling at 70 mph, some of the luster is going to be lost to armadillo innards' splatter! Therefore, it’s my guess that if someone has decided that preserving the “luster” of his or her car is more important than the ride… a trailer is a necessity!

So, am I ticked off when the trailered car passes me on the highway? Only if he throws the armadillo carcass onto the hood of my car as he pulls around me!!! Does it disturb me if folks look at the trailered car longer than they look at mine? Only if the fellow stole my wife and has her sitting in the front seat of his car!!! Does it upset me if the trailered car parks in front of me at the fairgrounds? Only if he has blocked me in and I can’t leave to go cruizin when I feel like it!!!

OK, would someone that’s really ticked off about the trailer guys speak up? What is it that rubs you the wrong way?
