Autorama 2013

ThunderPig's first car show of the year, Auto Rama SLC! This is by far one of our favorites and most stressful of shows to take the pig to..

Reasons for being our Favorite:
The show is indoors with a lot to see! This year they had 2 bat mobiles to check out!
Lots of bling.. The cars that practically travel in glass boxes show up on turn tables!
plenty of fun competition categories with a good chance at winning $$$ too! :-)
And ease of mind with plenty of security running around

Why it's more stressful?
Cleaning and polishing the truck for the first time each year takes a lot of time and when there is still snow on the ground it's hard to find motivation to clean every nook and cranny.
Getting the truck to the show.. Do you drive or trailer it? Trailering is such a drag ;-) but wet salty roads sometimes makes that decision easy..
Renting stanchions to place around the truck is almost a necessity for a display
Showing up with a full tank and then trying to tell security the gauges don't work and that its really only 1/4 full to meet dire Marshall codes.. (Yes this happened to me this year.. I must have topped off the tank last fall before covering the truck for winter. And yes the gauges do work.. See previous post.. LOL!)
Knowing that the awards show is almost 2 hrs long.. Little room lots of people.. No fun.

Anywhoooo.. Enough on that! Check out the pictures from the show!

Ok, I can't wait for you to scroll down.. We won! That's right! The second year in a row we won Best in Class for Street Machine Pickup! :-) we were really stoked.. Ok now you can check out the pictures below.
