It was a beautiful Saturday here in Atlanta. There were no less than 5 car show/gatherings
around to visit. I opted for a United Way benefit show sponsored by UPS. A nice gathering of maybe 125 cars. Mine was the only Pantera. There was a beautiful Maserati Bora, no Lambos and 1 Ferrari mid 80's of what model I do not know.
The "F" owner I recognized from a couple of other car shows this summer. We were talking about the other shows that day and he mentions a "historic" show (vehicle must be 25 yrs or older). He said the Pantera would qualify but his would not. He went on to say that if he did go he was sure they would let him in …… because his was a "Ferrari".
We talked about the up coming annual Italian Car Day and I mentioned that there were usually a good showing by Panteras. Mike Dailey (The Pantera Place) organized one year with as I remember 25 Panteras. The "F" guy than says to me " Well you know that the show is for "Real" Italian cars and Panteras are just a hybrid. "
I thought for a moment of laying into him about his attitude, but as I am trying to mature in my old age, I just smiled shook my head and walked away.
