I gave up on local Mopar only shows years ago. The VIN checker/paint daub correctness guys ruined it for me. My car is no where near correct....last "Mopar only" show I was at, I had a couple guys walk up. look at my car, check the VIN and walk away. Really? I'm well aware that my car is a no numbers matching nothing but that doesn't mean there has been no effort or money spent to keep it out of the crusher. Those are the same guys that will whine about attendance at shows.
Ive checked vin tags just to test how much I recall about what codes mean what, or if it's really a true hemi or six pack. What drives me nuts are the guys who see you looking at their car and come over to tell you how great it is.
Also, what's this "direct connection" previously mentioned...I think it's a sticker and t shirt company because that's all I've ever seen them sell.
