I didn't have my A in it, but I did pipe in it. That's gotta count for something. Both the A and pipes emit a lot of hot air

Well, weather is nice here so I entered my first car show ever. Only owned the A for about 8 months now. Did some work to her this winter and got her ready. Took the risk of entering her in a Chevy club show, but it was open to all makes. Out of 40+ cars, me and one other guy were the only...
