Today we had 178 cars at the Lou Bachrodt Chevrolet Dealership just north of Miami.
I will only post pics of three cars and ask a couple of questions.
This is an example of a Best of Show car.

And this is how he powers his car.


Now for the question.
HOW?


And WHY?


The how can easily be answered. We usually hand out 60 awards and sometimes fewer than 60 cars show up so everybody wins.
The WHY, well I have no answer for that question.
The inside is just as bad as his engine.
This car is at all the shows.

For the next car, just name the year. Thats all.










Thats it. Short and sweet.

Til next Saturday at Miami Lakes just two miles from the house and it is a night time show.

Bye.

I guess if I need a bunch of meaningless trophies I need to head out to some Miami Car Shows.

And yes I wonder why everybody does not live in Miami??

Should be but I'm sure this won't be the last one we see here. Next time there will be a picture added in of a Fiero front brake caliper and it will be justified and called Fiero related.

My guess on the Vette is that it's not more than 10 years old, maybe a 2006?

Correct and maybe some people are tired of seeing the posting rules constantly getting broken by the same person.

I've said things about this also. Just because there is a car show with 1 Fiero doesn't make it a Fiero topic. It is still a general car show. Sorry to disagree but it looks like the defenders of Clem are also from his home State. Damned Floridians

If I added pics of 20 Fieros would that make it OK?

I post in General because a lot of people stay away from O/T because of getting negs.

If the majority want me to stop I will.

You answered your own questions:

C6. Many companies are taking a chassis and going old school. I'd say Karl Kustom Corvette ZO6.

If someone from the Fiero community competes in an open car show, I would think we should be cheering him/her on... thus making it fiero related in my mind. I support Clem and enjoy his photography. Clem get's a + from me.

Well hell, that was very nice of another Floridian. Maybe I can get the California guys to give me a shitload of positives while we're at it. The bottom line is that although I go to all of the Goodguys as well as Easyrider shows, the car show is a standard car show that belongs in the O/T. Just because it may have 1 Fiero in it doesn't justify the entire lineup of cars being posted in General. Clem is more than welcome to say "Hey, I went to a car show and here are my pics"....with HIS car in it. I appreciate his car as much as the next guy but an entire car show and discussing Corvettes is a little off topic.

Edit to add......By the way RPRO, you realize I am just giving you a bunch of crap

I wasn't playing "moderator", I was pointing out that this belongs in O/T. You don't have to be a jerk man.

Are you posting in the right section?
To summerize, the Technical Discussion & Questions section is just that. For technical discussions and questions. So no "what is the best source for polyurethanemethanoloxide bushings?" or "should I paint my Fiero pink or blue-with-polkadots?" threads. Those belong in the General Fiero Chat section. In this (the GFC) section you can also post threads about the forum itself. Or ask who the owner of that blue-with-polkadots Fiero is. Just as long as it's Fiero or Forum related. The Mall section is for Fiero related items only. If you need to sell your computer, your Lexus, your adult video collection, or your cat, then you should post that in the Totally O/T section. Totally O/T stands for "Totally Off Topic", and not for "Let's start a flamewar 'cause I'm bored". A lot of people seem to misunderstand that. In the TO/T section the same rules apply as in the other sections. So keep it civilized, no circumventing the censor system, no threads about threads, yadah, yadah.

Thanks for the pics Clem.

I'll look at your Miami and surrounding area car show pics, no matter where you post them.
To me, you've been a Fiero owner for as long as I can remember, a good customer to many of the after market vendors and a supporter of this forum, so to me, that makes it as Fiero related as need be.

But I suppose technically, if there are no Fiero's in the show, or you don't post pictures of them if there are, I guess it should go in OT, but personally, I'm not quite that nit picky, but I'm no moderator.

Like I said, I'll look at em' no matter where you post em', and appreciate your doing so!

HAGO!

Okay I'm not in Florida and I say Clem post 'em if you got 'em.

As a largely self-moderated forum PFF has a little more leniency than some really uptight forums. Yeah we don't want a lot of political rhetoric in GFC, but if Clem went to a show and wants to post a few pics it's not going to destroy the free world.

Every now and again someone posts a pic of a Solstice or Turbo Trans Am in GFC...If you don't want to look at it then move along, nothing to see here.

Ps - Clem, next time start your thread talking about the Forum itself... valid topic for GFC, then happen to throw in some pics you find interesting...and now that we are discussing the forum this thread is 100% on topic...just sayin'
