You know, sometimes I get sick and tired of all the crap I have stuffed into the near-useless little cubby-hole we have in the back of our cars...where a normal-sized trunk resides on most other cars.
Since my car, "Ol' Boots" is relegated to mostly car-show and cruise-night duty now I have the faux-trunk jack-full with two folding chairs and a folding table, a couple of "California Dusters", bags of various cleaning towels, bottles of spray detailers, window cleaners, tire cleaners, tire shine, interior dressing, portable vac, flashlights and a few select tools.
Underneath the folded-down rear seat is where I keep the display paraphenalia: magazines with my car featured, pictures of my car in a couple different TV shows, old pictures when it was new, window sticker and the showboard with the cars "story"...
I prefer to show the car without any of this crap, but there is no denying that all that stuff displayed with the car draws easily 3 or 4 times as much attention as it does when just displayed "pure".
The bright red paint with black trim and stripes, accented with gleaming chrome and Magnums is the perfect combo for a car show or cruise night...it draws attention away from almost any other car, except one.
My buddy owns an authentic, gen-u-wine "General Lee" Charger. That car draws crowds like no other car I've ever seen. People spot and recognize it from a mile away, and always make a beeline straight for it. They mostly stand around slack-jawed staring at it with a big, dumb ****-eating grin plastered on thier faces. Most of them have to let out a "Yee-Haw!" before tottering off.
It is amazing. That is the ONLY car that has ever been able to consistently out-draw mine.
But...when my "Starsky & Hutch" Torino is finished later this year, I am positive it will get the same kind of reaction from show-goers and cruise-night attendees.
