First, a short introduction. My name is Jay. I'm 35, married with 2 kids. I was the head of our local classic car club for 5 years back when I had "older" cars. We've had at one time or another a 1976 Corvette, a 1993 Corvette, and a 1973 Mustang Convt. Mach 1 Clone. If you're interested, all these cars and more can be seen in my FQuick garage at www.fquick.com/wonkyseadonkey <---username=long story :D
Anyway, we've been out of the car scene for a while. The last car we had, the Mustang, we sold to put a down payment on our house. I've went a few years now without any toy. But, about a month ago, we purchased a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP that's been worked over pretty hard. Full list of mods on the GTP can be found on my FQuick as well. Though a lot newer, it's fun, fast, and just nice to be back into the car scene.
We have planned to hit a lot of cruise nights and car shows this summer and I've always been a fan of the Power Tour, but never participated. I did sit in the Mustang and watch it go though one year and drove just a few miles along with the pack that same year. Being nOOb's to the Tour, we are thinking of registering for just the Springfield to Topeka section this year to get a feel for it since it's close to home.
This brings me to my question.... Do you think our car will be out of place among all the other entries? A lot of members on our local Pontiac message boards don't want to participate for fear of feeling out of place or being ridiculed for our more current cars. From my past experiences, which I've tried to convey to them, most hot rodders are some of the best people on Earth and not to worry about it. What do you think?
Thanks in advance.

It's all about the journey and the people you meet along the way! ;)
