There is a "DAMON'S RESTAURANT" in Erie that specializes in Ribs that has car shows during the summer...usually 2 per month on Wednesdays from 6pm-9pm weather permitting. They advertise to bring your Classic car, 4X4, or Import. I brought the VX spit-shined inside and out....I got a wide variety of comments...one guy shouted as I was parking it "he can't be serious, I wouldn't be caught dead in that thing!" However, it seemed very popular with the younger crowd (i.e. teens, college students). Older people ignored it. The younger people gravitated towards my VX and a Honda S2000 as well as a new Nissan Z and a Mazda RX-8.
Older people walked right by these cars as though they weren't even in the show.
I seem to be caught in between the generation gap...lol...As I enjoyed ALL the cars and trucks!
kewel! I was born in New Castle and went to Penn State in Sharon as well as partying in Slippery Rock...lol..Also used to commute to Pittsburgh and that is where my brother and his wife reside. Moved to Erie area to take a job with GE. Used to get my lift kits done in Butler at Meridian Off Road.
Personally, when my VX is paid off I might be interested in the following projects/vehicles:

If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?
