The low turnout may have have been just because of "temps in the 90's and high humidity" . That would have kept me away. I do shows for enjoyment and that kind of weather is not enjoyable to sit in the sun and bake.
That may have been all there was to it and not all the personality traits you are trying to blame it on.

Probably a snowbird from my area. I see lots of retirees in C7s.

Never had a show car. My Vettes have been DD/drag cars. I do walk through a show or 2 every summer. Always see some nice rides . My favorite car show happens at the drag strip weekly. There are some real quality cars in the pits every week. Cars that look nice and some that are very fast.

These are more like cruise'ins rather than the traditional carshows. Some like Pavillions are high end, while most are like the above mentioned KMart ones are bring what you want, from moms four door to grandpa's old pickup (although most are better). Put out some chairs and talk cars, both past and present. They are a throw back to the old cruise the dinners of 40 or so years ago. Just without the case of beer in the back and the street drags.

Waxers n Warriors... A world of difference between the two groups of Corvette owners, I find!

Most Corvette owners are snobs and borderline d-bags. Since 1999, Ive been to more 'gatherings' then I can count. The most asked question I have gotten has been, "Why don't you buy a new one"? They don't ask what cam my car has or what times I run, just that it's not as new as theirs. Hell, Ive even challenged some of them to a drag race when they start with, " The corvette didn't exist until the C5 came out! You should sell yours and get one like mine.". Of course I get no takers.

So I hang out with the F-body crowd, with some G-bodies thrown in. It's a nice shot of reality. Being able to speak with guys that actually get their hands dirty and can share info on tuning, repairs, mods and other stuff makes for fun nights. Not to mention the drag racing that goes on afterwards

Sunday morning I was out driving around and happened to pull up next to a yellow C6 Z06 at a stoplight. I have the same Z06 wheels on my 1985 which bring the car a lot of compliments. I wave to the guy and get absolutely nothing back, nothing! He was locked in a death stare of my car, head going back and forth checking out my vette. When the light turned green I waved again and nothing. I should have flipped him the bird, what a douchebag.

I like cars, and I like talking to people about cars. What anyone else thinks of me is none of my business, and what I think of them is useless information. Everyone has their own motivation for owning a Corvette, or any other car for that matter. If their motivation is different from mine, it doesn't make them a jerk, or anything other than what and who they are.

If they want to sit in judgement because their car is newer, faster, cleaner, more expensive, or any other reason to turn a car show into a pi$$ing contest, well, that's just how they choose to live their life. Me, I'd rather have fun talking, and admiring great cars and the stories that go with them.
