ORC plans for MMM

[(S.M.R) 101]

No pictures..... WTF?

It was a blast....I'm sure the pictures will start showing up soon! Great turnout of trucks this year, way more than the three from last year!

it was just a reminder of how badly i need a black srt charger

Then you could be 1 of 200

It was definitely another LX fest...theres just not enough truck interest. I find that weird since we are in Oklahoma, but what can you do.

We'll just have to make some truck interest... with our own show

I talked to several people about my truck. Far more than at most shows I've been to. I enjoyed the chats I had and the suprised views from folks I spoke with. Scroll down to the last paragraph

I'm more confused that vehicles won in more than one class when they were clearly marked...or were they?

Maybe because my truck is so >ahem< unique that most people aren't sure what to say. I believe the comments refering to my truck as "2nd generation" are humorous. I think its a nice DODGE...or Mopar. I know...it's an age thing. I got a big dose of that reality yesterday.

Lastly...the mind set of most Okies is that trucks are work vehicles, not statements of automotive talent. The idea of a "show truck" isn't well established here. I've heard those comments myself. My truck should be covered with mud and cowcrap from repairing fences...Really?

Welcome to the 21st century, Oklahoma.

EDIT: Despite it being an "LX" fest...many "classic" (gods how I hate these terms) owners still don't recognise modern muscle as valid. I can sorta see that with all the mural work and neon, but can remember when murals on muscle cars were quite trendy back in the 70's as well.

I probably came off wrong above...

I did get to chat with quite a few people about my truck, especially a gentleman with a brand new '12 Laramie who raved about a number of things I had done to my truck. He was blown away by the interior paint work and I even went over to his truck and helped him lay out a paint scheme that he seemed very interested in. He also loved my headlights (yes JJ, he has one of the big cards and seemed genuinely interested) and we talked for a while about what he could do with his (again JJ, he's thinking of adding a projector and shroud, in chrome, and just pulling the orange reflector for a nice, clean, OEM look).

I had a blast with the ORC guys. I got to meet some new ones this weekend, see a couple I had not seen in a while, and hang out with those that I see on a regular basis. It was nice to see so many members out there who were active and not just keeping to themselves. We got new window decals, talked about the issues many people have with the site itself (namely the lack of support we get), took a lot of pictures (I know guys, I'm getting to it), and even, in my opinion, determined our official drink. So, with that being said, "Adios Mother Fuckers!"

I was glad to put names with faces finally as well. It was especially cool to see the quality of the trucks on the internet up close and personally.

I'd left the grain bins early to go and help Landon, but my help wasn't needed. Colton's offer to move all our stuff down the row was very welcomed and I wished I had been closer to you guys, but also to my Tulsa group. I was simply worn out from the heat.

Tim was such a nice neighbor for putting up with my "old guy" advice. Lets be honest...most of you guys are my kids age or younger. We're not going to make a lot of conversation... and I like people watching.

That being said, I wish I would've been invited or at least been told about the "pic fest" you all did about dusk.

Those pictures were a last second idea that just started with one guy asking me to take some...then they just started lining up. Those pictures were taken almost directly behind where your truck was parked.
