It is like taking a kid to an air show, or museum, or obseratory....you never know when something that seems such a small effort on someones part will inspire a kid, or influence an adult to fulfil a childhood dream.

When I put my Tempest in shows, it is the old folk that look at my car with that far away look in their eyes....and it is always a similar story....they had one, or dated their spouse in one.
Usually a very magical moment between them and my car, and I get to witness it, but more importantly I get to supply that for them.

I think it is great that you show it.
Mine will be in shows when I am done, and again it isnt about "winning" but the showing and the talking and the friends I have yet to make.

I salute you man, good looking truck !!!
