Couldn't be any better than this.....Father's Day, you went to a show, and your Dad's car won a trophy. You had to sense someone special was right there the whole time. Great way for you to spend the day.

Main thing about car shows is that you should have fun. One of the best parts is talking to other car minded people and also those who are not so car minded. You will get every story from "we had one just like it, but it was black, and it was a Ford", to "tell you what you should have done differently on your car." As much as you will try to avoid them, you will get a certain small percentage of people who just love to tell others how to build their car. But the 99% of nice people you meet make up for them.

Mainly though, just enjoy the whole atmosphere and also talk to others about their cars too. Some people are a little standoffish, and if you pay them a compliment they may not even respond.........but that is ok. You were the bigger person and had better upbringing than them.

I don't even wipe mine off when I get to a show. I consider every bug a memory.
