Thank you guys for making this video. I can't stand people who do the wrong thing at car shows. It's just morally wrong. Being respectful should be an easy thing to do, but apparently it's hard for some.
Another thing to add to one of your reasons is for people to control their dog or better yet, don't bring them at all. I've seen people show up to shows with their dog and no leash. Also that concrete/asphalt is hot on their pads. They can stay home.
Trash talking is a big one that needs to stop. I was at a local meet at a track in my city and I pull up on the drag strip just trying to do passes and enjoy my day, the announcer says on the microphone "Don't worry folks there's a cement barrier so when he crashes into the crowd you will all be ok" I was like...your funny man. Never once have I heard that one. You should do stand up. My second pass, he says on the mic my six cylinder can't do a burnout. I tell him my tires are new...laughing it off..until he finally pushed me to the point where I had to prove him wrong...did the biggest smoke show I've ever done in my life, roasted my brand new tires. Third pass, he tells me funny you can only smoke your tires in the wet burnout box! And I see the crowd just looking at the announcer like dude....shut up. Your just making an ass out of yourself. On the bright side... Made my fastest pass that night 😁
I've noticed when it comes to cheaper cars, people are more likely to touch them, since they think it doesn't matter. Still, the point stands. I didn't spend 5 hours washing the exterior, then cleaning it again once I arrived just for you to leave handprints on my fender.
Wholeheartedly agree with the trash talk, happened to us. We just got our car and went to a cruise a couple months later. Guy comes up and says a few disparaging words then walks off. Remember we just got our ‘Stang only a couple months prior and doing things right takes time. While we were momentarily contemplating braining the guy we thought better of it. Fortunately everyone else was way cool and had a great time
Don't forget about dogs. If you have a dog, have it on a leash. If your dog is untrained and likes to jump on things... DO NOT BRING IT TO A SHOW! This happened to a friend's S550 GT. A dog on a loose leash freaked out at the sound of one car, and tried to claw it's way up the side of his fender.
Second of which...don't roast people's rides. Me personally, I'm not a big fan of German stuff...but if I see it's someone's pride and joy I would always support what they love. That's the basis of humanity.
I don't know why people can't just be like ya know it's not my jam but props on the hard work well done and moving on. Car culture is to cancerous some times
One of my biggest beefs at car shows is putting badges on cars that they are not. This is putting GT emblems on mustangs that are not, SS badges on camero's, chevell's, nova 's, etc.
It's a personal beef for many BUT it's the owner's car, not theirs. The owner may be a poser but they also might be paying respect to a true model with a clone or tribute car. Deliberately making false claims on a placard or judges sheet is completely WRONG however.
I have cobra emblems on my Cobra R rims. I have a cobra R label on my Cobra R intake. Other than those two things, and my Cobra R hood, it’s not a Cobra R. In your opinion, did I misbadge? (They came with the product) Honestly, the car used to be a V6. So when I had the engine swap done, I got 1969 emblems for my fenders. It is a 94, not a 69, but I felt that the tribar pony was still true to its V6 self, but also still boasted that it had a 302 without claiming it was a GT.
I entered my 16 GTPP in the show at MW, not that I'm looking to win but just wanting to be part of it. Now dilemma, lol, just bought an unmolested 93 GT and it deserves to be in the show... We'll see..
This is ALL truth!!!! Build shaming goes on way too much and so does touching vehicles that aren’t your own! Don’t touch, lean, or be in a precarious position that may have you fall into a vehicle (I’ve seen it happen many times)
Never participated in a judged show ,it's not my thing .There are too many critics for me.I go as a spectator and have a great time. Just cruises for me where everyone isn't in competition with each other. I enjoy both types of events. To each their own.
Instead of trash talking a car, ask the owner questions about it. You might find out there is more than meets the eye to their ride. People make a lot of mods that you will never notice. In fact, it might be a complete custom build you are walking by.
6. don't be an ass when you're leaving. if the neighborhood has to listen to 8-10 hours of wannbe racers leaving the event, they might complain enough to prevent next year's car show
I had some guys in their 50s-70s picking at my original door side moldings on my 83 mustang gt at show this year. Was about to tell them you pick it off, you’re buying a new set of NOS ones.
One thing that is somewhat annoying to me is after hours and hours of detailing, proudly arriving at the event and then having to park next to a rat rod. Rat rods are fun and cool but can't they have a separate section or is that 'racist' in the car world?? Usually I can move elsewhere but sometimes it's just too busy.
It’s not racist unless you’re implying that only a certain group of people are into rat rods. I like rat rods, but I don’t like detailing my car, only to witness everyone oooing and ahhing over the rat rod next to me, completely ignoring and passing over my car just to get to it quicker. All these pictures and video... ...it’s a phone, it’s not like you have to worry about running out of film, and pay money to have it developed. Yeah, I get it. It’s just a 94 mustang, but the guy next to me spent all his money time and effort in making his vehicle look rusty. It’s not a work in progress. It’s done.
I don't know the back story of Bill's cobra but out of all of his mustangs he's owned and sold the cobra is still in his possession. Love it Bill but I'm a SN95 Cobra fan
Sorry, but if bring your beat up, falling apart, should be in the the junkyard car to a "Show & Shine" or a "Judged Show" you did just to see who you could trigger. Keep that heap at home and work on it till it's worthy of being at a show.
So it’s about community these shows. Like yeah, it’s cool to show off the cars, but you can just look on the internet now for everything. So if a guy brings out his work in progress car that might have been pulled out of a junkyard that day, supporting him by leaving the triggered comments at home, and bringing him into the community. Not saying he should get awards for best build, but just not negatively talked to or about. I’ve been in these types of shoes before, with my Nova I’ve been building for 10 years (all thru high school and into college and still working on it today) and it can really make it not worth coming out to the shows and being a part of the community.
I don't know if I'd say it's a rule...maybe an anti-rule...but you don't have to immediately open your hood and leave it up the entire show... as a photographer it's pretty annoying when all I can get are engine shots. The car doesn't look its best with panels open. Unless it's exceptionally interesting under there...leave it closed unless asked/the car is being judged.
ill have it open if i want, you paying my admission fee bud? big talk for someone walking around with a camera making a dime and reputation off of someone else’s pride n’ joy
I enjoy cars in their 'closed' look too BUT you don't always know when judges walk by. Is it 10 a.m. or 1 p.m?? You can't be sitting by the car the entire event so you leave the hood open. I know I have obliged many photographers when they ask me if they can take a photo of my car with the hood closed. It just takes a moment to remove a placard or whatever and proceed.
I'm the type of person who pops in for a few, looks at the other cars, and unless someone strikes up a conversation or some cool cars pull in, I leave.
What was/will be your first car show back?!
I've already been to 3 this season and always look forward to a fun show in Clayton GA each year around Labor Day (if I don't forget or on vacation).
Thank you guys for making this video. I can't stand people who do the wrong thing at car shows. It's just morally wrong. Being respectful should be an easy thing to do, but apparently it's hard for some.
Excellent presentation. Unfortunately the people that NEED to see this video are probably not watching.
Real Talk!! Respect and Support everyones build!💯👊🏾

Just like kids I am all for bringing the dogs but make sure you clean up after them, keep them away from the cars, and off the hot sidewalk.
@@angrybastard7364 what do they do with them while they’re at work?

Yea that’s just wrong. Just remember the announcer is watching, if he has a fast car he would be racing :)
@@cjponyparts haha well said my friend!
Amen. Thanks for this

Can’t let the bad apples ruin it, half the time they don’t even have a car there .
Totally agree!
This is something needed very well said.
Definitely wish I had seen this video months ago, missed both events. Good information for those locked up in their homes for so long.
No shows till I get my truck sorted. Subbed when I found out you all had a channel, digging my new engine brackets 👍
Great reminder video! Looking forward to Mustang Week and local Cruise Ins.
Us too!

You forgot to say except Porsche. That’s the best carmaker in the world. The scalpel of the car world.
I don't know why people can't just be like ya know it's not my jam but props on the hard work well done and moving on. Car culture is to cancerous some times
In otherwords don't be a jerk!
Well said!
True facts bill

That's funny, I'm far more annoyed when someone de-badges their car.
*looks at the SS wheels on my Nova* 🙄😅

@@UmmYeahOk no, in my opinion you did nothing "wrong". I am only talking about mis-badging the car, not the products that are put on them.
Well said

Thank you kindly
Sad that you had to make this. I never get close enough to touch, just close enough to look. And who cares if a car is nice or not! Wow!
This is ALL truth!!!! Build shaming goes on way too much and so does touching vehicles that aren’t your own! Don’t touch, lean, or be in a precarious position that may have you fall into a vehicle (I’ve seen it happen many times)
I would add in backing your car into a parking spot, wheels should strait, bring a clean car.
Don't touch, don't touch, don't touch. And yet still....

Thanks 👍
The worst are fools who go try to sit on someone's hood and get a shot for their IG.
Brooooo. I had someone do that on my car!!! I got pissed af lol
@@MTLbigJ Yeah, I lose it when they try that crap.
I'd go sit in their lap. I'm having PPF applied today so I'd be more resilient to getting mad but I bet that'd piss em off.
@@DnRprodxIL I need to get mine done soon. We had it on the 350. It helped a lot with rock chips.
How about being available to answer questions about your car
rule no 1 ... Agreed....lol
6. don't be an ass when you're leaving. if the neighborhood has to listen to 8-10 hours of wannbe racers leaving the event, they might complain enough to prevent next year's car show
Ummmm, That's pretty much what number 5 was. Did you not watch the video?

East coast AND west coast shows, eh? How about some midwest shows?!?

@@cjponyparts that's awesome, I own a 96 Cobra and love seeing yours when it's on the channel. Cheers
i have a sixth rule, don't eat food or drink beverages around the vehicles.
