I remember the first show I took my bird to shortly after I got it and it really looked rough and was barely running - the Electric City GTO Club show at the Schenectady Airport. People saw me pull in and rushed over to tell me how cool my car was and two different people wanted to buy it. My wife was amazed because she thought it was a POS and couldn't figure out why I even bought it. Its like the fairly attractive "regular girl" at the bar that gets more attention than the unapproachable knockout.
