Car shows and Mk6's

[SoWalGTI]

Curious, in your area if Mk6s even garner a look at car shows?

I've been to a few local car shows now, and while my car isn't radical, I'd say its a pretty clean performance build thus far. I rarely even get a look from spectators unless they are other VW owners asking me questions.

I'm not looking for trophies or glam here, but I do take the time to go to these things to be social and talk to other owners.

How does the Mk6 platform fare where you are?

I'm up in Northwest Florida. Panhandle. I'm not even sure we can be compared to Central and South Florida. I know, I grew up in Tampa and travel there every month for work still.

Ah gotcha. Forgot another goody is Eurotripper. But most of those aren't "local" to me like a 2 1/2 hour drive. But Florida wise, the shows are great here.

You gotta have bags and bacon fenders to get any attention.

I have bags but my fenders are not baconed. So no, you don't.

Nothing at the meets here for JDM/other types of cars. Obviously the VW/VAG shows they do.

Our local group got some attention at a show last year. We aren't really show car guys at all, some track cars and other just tastfully modded cars geared towards the perfomance side of things vs bags and ramz. We took away a few trophies at this event lol. The hardcore showcar guys were a bit butthurt

At car shows of all makes no one gives two shits about mk6's... except the people you mentioned (other VW owners).

At VW car events, most people only care about bags and bacon fenders.

I dont go to shows.. but if i went to a VW meet im looking for mk1 and mk2s.

So my assumptions are pretty much norm.

The Mk6 is just not a conversation car.

Samsies. Love well kept/restored older dubs. Always amazes me how small they used to be.
