...just kidding. A line from one of my favorite songs, modified to fit the day.
So after my ****ty morning, my in-laws called to see if we wanted to go to a little car show being held downtown. Every year I forget about this show til they call the day of.
SWEET! I wanted to go, hubby didn't, so I went with them.
Lots of cars from the 30s and 60s. Big BelAirs, a handful of GTOs (LOVE GTOs!), lots of Model As and hot rods. Between 300-400 cars total.
And ONE, lonely, singular, BEAUTIFUL restored 1965 Austin Cooper. Sort of an Indi Blue color, w/UJ roof.

It had pictures from pre-restoration, and it was literally pretty much a rust bucket. The restoration was amazing. Just beautiful.
Anyway, my main observation was how FEW of the cars had paint that was in good condition. I get that not all cars can look like brand new...but if you're showing them, shouldn't they be pretty close? I guess I don't get the car show thing...it wasn't a concours event or anything, but I saw MAYBE 20 cars that had really good paint and only 10 that were flawless.
I also noticed how obsessed with paint condition I am. I was walking up to all the cars, trying to get the best angle of the light to look for imperfections
But is that normal for a car show? A lot of the cars looked just awesome from 10 feet away...but when you got up close...
