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.

Very nice, as usual. Boy, there's times when I really wish I lived in a warmer climate!

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??

But what year is the Corvette?

This is nice, but shouldn't it be in O/T?

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?

I am going to say a millennium yellow 2000, zr1 tribute corvette called a Rossi 66, they had one of these but white at Iola car show a few years back I think they made them for 5 or so years I cant remember the name of the company they had a big display at Iola. the clunker well it prob has a lot of survivor awards if its all original Al tho fuggly!

Who cares Clem has been doing this all the time without a fuss.

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

Sudenly we have a bunch of new moderators. Clem next time please include the Fiero picture. Hopefully in one week there will one like this but with a bunch of Fieros for the new moderators

So even my beater Fiero would win one?

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

I'm gonna guess a C-6 with a mid-year body kit.

YES-If we had 60 cars.

should be in o/t

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.

quote https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/061082.html 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.

Look who's being a jerk. These has been going on for years and now you compalin? I guess is bacause most enjoy them. Sorry.

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!

quote Originally posted by IMSA GT: Well hell, that was very nice of another Floridian.

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'

I HATE this move to O/T for your thread Clem!

I pretty much intentionally stay out of O/T (or should I just say the political bashing forum?)... and probably will not discover your car show threads if they goet moved over here. You know I am a fan... I hope you continue to post 'em... I hope they stay over in General where they will get car enthusiast centric comments... instead of the forum where it seems everyone is obsessed with elephant vs donkey tug of wars!

After some thought, IF I post a car show thread again, they will be posted in TO/T.

I thought the Dart looked great for an almost 50 year old survivor. The engine was clean and unrestored. Some people like that. I know I would prefer a clean but unrestored model to an overly restored car. I understand the appeal of having a sanitary street machine with layers of clear coat, but different strokes.

Good God you got that right, I never get personal nor vindictive but it gets over the top in there at times. Whew.

and "whew" is right Norm, but I love it in here none-the-less.

Hah... it's getting expensive now. Florida has the 2nd largest concentrations of millionairs and billionaires, second only to California. There's now more money in Miami, than there is in New York City.

My house is in Fort Lauderdale, which is just 20 minutes north of Miami. I miss Florida though... the Metro area is pretty nice too... but damn, the weather is nice in Florida right now.

Yuuup... I was just there yesterday... low 70s all day, moderate humidity, and cool breeze...

The next mod for the Vette should involve a gallon of gas and a match...

quote Originally posted by LT188GT: After some thought, IF I post a car show thread again, they will be posted in TO/T.

Oh crap! I'll never see them. And you can't post in GFC letting us know about a thread in T/OT because that's against the rules too. There is no way to get around this.

... yet after the move several people came into the pit that they said they never go in and even posted...

quote Originally posted by Gokart Mozart: ... yet after the move several people came into the pit that they said they never go in and even posted...

That's because Cliff has a link from the old thread that takes you directly into the pit of despair without realizing that you are here.

The problem with coming in the front door of T/OT is that you have to sift through all the garbage to find something that might be worthwhile, and for many people it's not worth the trouble.

And that is the reason why I always posted my car show threads in General Chat, but no more if at all.

I'm guessing the slant 6 car either wins for "original" class or even "original unrestored" / "survivor" class, or "4 door" class, ....or he has alot of friends he brings with who vote for him.

This is some of the reason I think it is cool if I win a trophy, but never think I will, and if I don't, I had fun anyway which is why I went in the first place, and to meet people, and learn more about old cars and get ideas. Also even I have won a trophy once because the show had 20 cars and I was the only one in my class.

Some people lug around all teh trophies they aver won to shows, I never did understand that, its kind of like saying "see someone liked my car...see?!"

2.5---He wins due to LACK of competition.

There is a big difference between looking at one of my pictures and seeing his car in person.
