What Kind Of Car Lover Are You?
Chuck and I got involved in our first car club when we lived in
Rochester and had our Corvette. We had a blast. Met a great
bunch of people, did a ton of events. In fact I can still
remember our first event. It was a car rally and Chuck and I got
the second place trophy.
However, like any group, we had cliques. Now, don't get mad at
me for the monikers that are coming. They have been around a
long time and I didn't make them up.
All of the following groups love their cars, just each in a
different way. First there are the polishers. Their cars are
pristine. They will use toothbrushes to get their batteries
cleaned. I mean you could eat a meal off their engines. You
won't find a spec of dust on the outside, inside of their cars,
and inside includes the engine and trunk.
The racers, believe in a clean and polished car, however, their
main concern is POWER. They want to get the most they can from
their engines. It is all about having the fastest car!
Funny aside, when Chuck and I went to the NCCC convention they
were giving away a LT1 engine and when the polisher at our table
won it, you had to hear the racers. We wished him the best, but
told him we were jealous, and we were. Would have loved to put
that baby in our Corvette.
Then we have the groups who believe street rods, hot rods,
muscle cars, or antiques are the way to go. There are also those
who believe in all original, no changes. However, you also have
another group that doesn't worry about it, as long as the car is
what they want.
We love a nice clean and polished car, while we would like
matching numbers and all original, if an aftermarket part is
warranted we will use it. To Chuck and I it is about having fun
with the car. We want to drive it, not trailer it. However, we
always have believed in the motto "to each his own" and respect
other people's opinions.
One thing we all have in common, is the love of cars and that is
all that is important.
So what group do you fall in? Drop us a line and let us know.
