OT Goofy Car Show Gimmicks

Here is some good ones.




This crack addict, "the guy in the first pic" does this at all the shows with more of the ****ing puppets each time!

 

Hey Brahm and Kerry,
You guy's got me all wrong. I could care less what people wear or how they wear their hair. I'm all for people doing what ever makes them happy. But when it's August and I see a guy walking the black top at the fair grounds, in the blazing sun on a 100*+ day, wearing heavy dark blue jeans cuffed at the bottom over heavy work boots and a heavy work shirt with his pomp melting in the sun; I'm sorry, I'm going to snicker at that....because it's just funny. The same way it's funny to watch a 60 year old man do his best Brando impression as he struts across the parking lot and swings his leg across his $20,000 Harley, fire it up then walk it to the exit and wobble down the street toward home. It's just funny.

 

little ditty I wrote after 1 too many p***ers by with cluttery windows:
Put a number 3 sticker in your window
Go and wear your heart out on the gl***
You can have no fear and piss on chevy
But all in all your still just a jack***
Your cowboy boots I see that they have zippers
And your western duds were made by chinamen
Some say you have piercings in your nippers
I'm not surprised your kinda feminine
You know that cool ain't something you can put a price on
And beneath that Harley shirt your still a hick.
Your bumper sticker lifestyle don't impress me
You can peel the paper but it just won't stick

 

I guess that this guy was a Kiwi !

 

Big gals rock! How else do we keep our nuts off the cold gr***?

 

My wife weighs 45 kg and thats how i like chicks but i dont think there is anything wrong with bigger girls getting dressed up, would you feel better if they were wearing a t shirt and bicycle pants and no make up?
I also have greased hair, i like that style and all the other guys with the 70's, 80's and 90's hair styles look out of place when they get in their car or they stuff up your photos with the mixed era thing happening, a photo always looks better when you have someone in the background in just a white t shirt and jeans and boots than someone with long hair, the latest nike shoes and hood.
atleast i dont have to buy new clothes and get a different haircut every time a new style comes in, ive found a style i like and i am sticking with it.
As for gimmicks i saw one of those cry baby dolls once, they arent common here in Australia so i asked the owner what the story was behind it after standing there for 5 minutes thinking WTF is this about, he said he did it for the kids, my kids didnt show any interest so i guess it was just a case of oldies being out of touch with todays youngens.
i like props if they are related to the car and fit the era and not blocking the view of the car, stuff like angel hair gives a nice effect, i dont like lots of colourful objects around the car that take your eyes away from the car and look like a friggin circus display. i do like stuff like painted up gas, oil and water cans, chrome jacks etc wich are also trad custom showcar items.
i have never used props, i usually have the kids toys on the backseat and empty mcdonalds cups and wrappers all through my car when i arrive at a show yet i still get in all the magazines.

 

Well I agree with you on that. my hair cut is my hair cut, i'm not going to debate that.. but who the **** where's a leather jacket and jeans, ect in 100+ degree weather.. not me, that's like where I live you'll see guys wearing beanies in the summer.. just doesn't make any sense you know there head has to be 1000 degrees under that thing.

 

We're having a regular cold snap today.
Predicted high = 92* F.

Makes it nice in the garage with the fans going....

 

This might be the ultimate goofy car show gimmick. I felt sorry for the T.

Friday night cruise. Paso '06

 

Ive seen that guy cruisin the local high schools with candy and a bear trap on the p***enger seat. Looks like he's one of those greaser types in a white t-shirt and loud car. I think the best prop is the one holding open a trunk full of beer and parked in the shade.

 

After further review i noticed the complacency of every adult. Not so for one young person sitting far left. It appears to be a young boy climbing into his inner child and desperately trying to stop the ice cream truck music that forever haunts him. It's either that or Freebird.

 

This is one of the reasons I hate "open" car events. PT Cruiser owners who think they're real hotrods are gay. This was at last weekends big show in Winnipeg. The club is the
"River City Cruisers", and their logo is ~snicker~ "We cruise in REAL cruisers!" Idiots.

 

The only add-on I have is a small sign that says "Prowlers and PT cruiser ARE NOT real hot rods".

 

I'd like to know who it was that made those kids cry in the first place. Was it stinky finger Chris?

 

I used to be in a O/T car club and the M.O. was to go to the show with some beer in a cooler, some to drink, some to give away, talk with other owners and walk around with the frosty beverage in hand (sometimes in the 7-11 cup), look at cars and have fun with friends. It's about the cars, but it's also about getting together with like-minded people too.

 

HAHAHA.................thats Crazy Marvin, Fresno areas local insane Hot Rodder. People run for cover when he shows up at the local spots, dude is a complete wacko.

 

Not my thing, but you still get extra points at the indoor shows for that kind of stuff.

Besides, they can do what they want to their cars. What do I care? I don't expect them to like mine. I built it for me.

 

I'm in no position to judge people, but that IS some scary ****.

 

There was a guy at work who had those nuts hanging off his bumper, I painted them blue you shoulda heard the people laughing their @ss off! They were gone the next day!

 

I feel your pain!!! I cringe every time I see your old tuck!! If it had feelings, It would probably be calling out your name and sobbing "Why, Why Why Why!!!!!
Man just typing that makes me feel for you and the truck!!

 

My interior smells like mildew, vomit and gasoline. That's sorta puts things in "show" perspective. I need weatherstripping, a gas filler neck and for Dave to quit pissin in the back seat.

 

Yet you show us your ride in your albums?

 

There's a local guy that puts a life size version of Elvis in his car that he paid $1500 for! Funny thing is it looks like Hitler in a 70's jump suit

 

Okay, it's not from a car show but from a car commercial and funnier than ****!

 

I saw some Guido with a 80s Caddy El Dorado with stanchions placed all around his car with purple velvet ropes strung between them to keep everyone from getting too close to his car...The best part ???...He was playing Frank Sinatra music loud as hell through two three foot tall loud speakers !!!...WTF ???
