What Kind Of Car Lover Are You? By Sue and Chuck DeFiore, Tue Dec 6th
Chuck and I got involved in our first car club when we lived
in Rochester and had our Corvette. We had a blast. Met a
great bunch of people, did a ton of events. In fact I can
still remember our first event. It was a car rally and Chuck and I
got the second place trophy.
However, like any group, we had cliques. Now, don't get mad at me for the monikers that are coming. They have been around along time and I didn't make them up.
All of the following groups love their cars, just each in
a different way. First there are the polishers. Their cars
are pristine. They will use toothbrushes to get their
batteries cleaned. I mean you could eat a meal off their engines.
You won't find a spec of dust on the outside, inside of their
cars, and inside includes the engine and trunk.
The racers, believe in a clean and polished car, however,
their main concern is POWER. They want to get the most they can
from their engines. It is all about having the fastest car! Funny aside, when Chuck and I went to the NCCC convention
they were giving away a LT1 engine and when the polisher at our
table won it, you had to hear the racers. We wished him
