Is Gaspeddler close to running out of shelf space for trophies? Are you going to have to enter in shows as a non-judged contestant soon?

I thought those seats were on early Z-28s . I didn't think they were on IROCs.

Mike the Ls seats were only available on 1985 IROC-Z's. These seats are original to the car.

Re: Post 1 Pic Actually At A Car Show Event
I attended a show yesterday in Beaufort, SC as a viewer, not a participant. I've never actually participated in a car show.
Not a huge show, but very high quality cars. But as with most other shows I've attended, not a single 3rd gen. There were a couple of of 1st gen Camaros and well as two 4th gens. Not a single Firebird. I'm thinking that maybe I should actually display my car at a future show. It's all stock and in darn good shape, though not perfect. The paint has a few chips and scratches, spoiler has some cracking, center console warped. But I think that overall it compares well to most of the other cars on display. And it beats the heck out of a '93 Daytona that was there. No offense to Daytonas, I liked them, but it looked really out of its league, sandwiched between a 1970-ish 442 and similar year GTO, and otherwise surrounded by a '57 Bel Air, Corvettes, Mustangs, and Porsches.
It's always kind of funny to me to see some of the recent cars on display. There were a couple of late-model Mercedes, one a 2011 E class convertible and I'm not sure about the other. There was also a late-model Mini that looks to me exactly like one you could buy today. The E class is different now, but not so different that you couldn't look at the car on display at this show and think that you'll stop at the dealer on the way home and buy pretty much the same thing. I get being proud of your car, but displaying something like that at a car show just seems odd. Is part of that just showing off that you can afford a car like that?

Re: Post 1 Pic Actually At A Car Show Event
That brings back memories. Loved my '90 white Formula. Still my all-time favorite car, probably because it was the first car that I bought because it was what I wanted, rather than what I could afford.
