Re: IML: The exclusive Imperial

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

I don't show my cars either. I drive them and enjoy the feel of them, 
as well as the smiles/thumbs up I get from others. The shows I have 
been to do not inspire me participate. Years ago, when I was active in 
the local WPC, I enjoyed "parking" the car for others to see, but there 
wasn't any judging. Once in a while I go to a show and realize that 
some of my cars are as good or better than what is being shown. I keep 
my mouth shut and smile to show my appreciation with what they have 
accomplished in their restoration andappreciate what is sitting in the 
garage at home. Occassionally, there is a drop dead gorgeous car. I 
also study and learn as much as I can from others about what helps to 
increase "curb appeal".

Patricia brings up a very good point.  I have not been inclined to
take my car to shows or meets, just because it is not in the shape I
would like it to be in.

However, just because it is in that shape, doesn't mean others don't,
or won't, enjoy it.  Every time I drive it, at least once in the
drive, someone will ask me if it is for sale.  So I know others are
definitely interested in it.  So if there is interest in it now, just
wait until it's in prime condition!
