So went to one my annual shows today, and the mood was a little different. It was one in a beach town, and usually there are lots of cars driving all over, but usually after the show. As I was pulling into town, I noticed that the crowd was much different, kind of a mix of Mad Max meets The Fast & the Furious, lots of small 4-cylinder street rockets. Lots of noisy mufflers, but is it the latest trend to have mufflers that sound like gunfire? Because there were several of them driving around sounding like they were backfiring all over the place. Very disconcerting. Maybe I'm getting too old?

The cars in the show itself were mainly the typical ones, more classic cars. But it was the ancillary crowd that never turned up like this before.
