Thanks for sharing Kurt! Those of us that were not fortunate to attend appreciate hearing what went on behind closed doors so to speak.

For those who are scratching their heads at the previous posts...

Greg, Paul and I were fortunate enough to go to Dearborn to take delivery of Red...and what a day it was....between the sheer honor of it all, taking Red out on the skid pad for some fun, and being able to ride in the 2013 GT500 on the test track BEFORE the press got their hands on it (launch control...can you say G-force in the seat???).
Charles was unable to go and join in the fun.
As such, we had made the decision that Charles would have the honor to drive Red out of Area 51 hiding at Boys Republic and out onto the field during Shawn's speech.
We had arranged for Chad to ride shotgun...but...at the last moment there was some confusion as to who was to drive, and who was to ride shotgun.
Paul made it clear Charles was driving.
Not too many people would have the kahonies to tell someone like Chad "No"....
but in Paul's words....friendship comes first...

HoonDog's motto is "All or Nothing!"
And Paul's position at that moment represented everything we stand for...
It's not about the car....it's about the friendships....

Awww shucks Kurt. Thanks for the kind words.

thats something I tried to explain to a few people on the tour and at the show...thats the whole point of the car culture thing..no mater where you go or what city you visit you always have a friend...I was alone for 3 days on my way to pacific,mo but met up with KarlF and Neile on the road and it was really nice to have some company..if only for an hour

if you ever hear a bullitthead say he is passing through your area or visiting your city reach out to them

If I am free, and a Bullitthead wants to meet up with me or anyone else, I'll go meet them. Have a cup of joe, eat a meal, whatever. I have met up with Jimmy Ray twice, Charles, PY, Cochese, PX, Sweat Baby James...( )and a few others that have made themselves known to be in the DFW Metromess. It's not the best way to meet an online car buddy, but it sure beats not going and shaking their hands and putting a face with a name!

Amen to the frienship comments!!

We always try to get the locals to come out to the hotel and stay the night at events. That's when it really becomes apparent it's not just about the cars.

I'm sure a few newbies figured that out on the tour. The BBQ at the Wigwam was the perfect example.

 

[chrisW]

There was a BBQ at the wigwam? Did I miss it? Well maybe I remember beer and food

I know that little Oreck vacuum he loaned me sure did the job, so in that regard I agree.

 

[chrisW]

I didnt have time for the vacuum at boys republic car wash so I used hockey sock tape the day of he show

 

[BULLITT3230]

^^^ I used to always keep a roll of 2" wide masking tape in my detail box for that very thing! Last minute carpet clean up, as well as the space under the rear window

 

[chrisW]

Lint rollers are really good as well...

Lint rollers are really good as well...

I didn't ruin the "character" of my car with any of that nonsense.

Kurt and I washed it the morning of the Car Show with hotel trashcans, residual soap rag from his trunk, and voila ... all the California rain ... down the drain.

:rolling:
:rolling:
:rolling:

and I almost just left it at the hotel ! (Thanks AGAIN Kurt )

 

[BULLITT3230]

You're very welcome Treva!

Us True Blues stick together, forever!

(that and I had talked you into showing it in the first place, least I could do was help you get it ready!)

 

[chuckh]

Hey Chuck........you suck!
