RE: local car show

[SB <polecat2@xxxxxxxx>]

One thing that really rattles these guys is the fact that Mopars bring 
the highest money!  They love to tell me all the lame reasons this is 
true, at least to them, but a fact is a fact.  They act like 
Cinderella's step sisters.

Another sad fact that a mopar owner must remember is..we have always 
been #3, sold less vehicles, and most people did not like the looks of 
them. If you are at a car show with 100 plus cars...there will never be 
a mopar winner unless it happens to be a challenger which has taken a 
resurge lately. The mustangs, camero's and triple 5's will dominate the 
day. All that said...our fellow members grinding their teeth, choking on 
the AM coffee, blood pressure rising...we do love our cars!!! Hey, we 
went to the show to pass a good time!!!!
