Guys, y'all might be used to this sort of thing, but with the car's first show, I was blown away by the attention the Spyder received. I've participated in car shows with three other cars over the years, but I've NEVER gotten this many people taking photos, asking questions, etc. I was talking almost nonstop for 6 hours. 
Early in the morning before the show officially opened, the professional/hobby photographers swarmed it, and then when the crowds started coming, the IPhones came out for more pics and videos. One thing that really surprised me were the number of people taking pictures of each other in front of the car. For goodness sake, an entire family actually posed next to the Spyder for a group shot! Needless to say, this was gratifying, especially the comments from the other displayers around me telling me that my car "was the star."
Fortunately the meatballs finally arrived, and I got them applied the day before the event. And while I kept the rear shell closed for the majority of the show (opening it briefly for those that wanted to see the motor), when I left it open later on in the day, it drew more onlookers. Of course, this means that I'll need to be dressing the bay up a few levels before the next event. ;-)
I got to check another box on the way home, experiencing a frog-strangling, South Florida downpour. I may have to get those wipers working....
