!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

We could call it Conours d' Crapboxes, it could be our own version of LeMons but for those hoity-toity car shows. We pick a spot and local Jalops, maybe a Jalop writer or two, show up in ridiculous outfits and hand out homemade certificates. It would be cheap, fun, and we could partner up with Cars and Coffee or other fun blogs!

Best Rustastic Car

Best use of Gaudy Autoparts Store Accessories

The list goes on....

That's epic. And I don't overuse that word, you can do a search. We could type up certificates and leave them under the windshield wipers of the winners.

Ok, this is going to be a thing. I do some web design in my spare time, we need to build a serious looking website devoted to parking lot concours events. Unless Jalopnik/Gawker wants to build/host something.

We can do it flash mob style, we just show up at a parking lot and start the proceedings. Then we can post the results of our events! lol

Oh that's a problem to be sure. Just bought a sweet HP scanner/printer/copier so we just need a design and I'll start the DC chapter in the next couple of weeks. Patrick would make a great judge, I KNOW he's got a tweed jacket!

Nope - hat needs to be straw, either a boater or a panama.

And blue oxford cloth shirts and yellow club ties.

For those of us not fortunate enough to have a Cars and Coffee in our immediate area this could be a really fun way to meet some fellow Jalops.
