I just got off the phone with Mark and got a full report on the GTO in Kissimmee Florida today at the Pontiac Show. First off the car show got rained on almost all day. He pulled the car out for display and it was already drizzling rain. Very soon after he got it out it started raining. He was not even able to pull out his new CNG GTO sign. But the best thing about it today was the people. It always makes it worth it to go on the trip when people speak up and say, " I saw your GTO at Barrett Jackson on TV!" or "Yeah, I know about your car from the internet." The recognition for this Red GTO running on Compressed Natural Gas is growing. We both hope that the car becomes the symbol for American freedom from dependence on foreign oil.
Oh, by the way the GTO won its first car show trophy.
The photo shoot was rained out today but the photographer has asked about the possibility of doing a studio shoot Monday. That is the most exciting thing since the car was featured in a story on Barrett Jackson, Speed TV. I will keep you posted on that progress.
No post is complete with the FUN. This trip is no exception. Mark said the cruise in was AWSOME. Hundreds of car fans lined the cobblestone street in Kissimmee Saturday Night and cheered all the cars in the cruise on. He said the windows were down and people were begging him to race the engine. The GTO sounds fantastic and we are pretty sure that the slight whiff of burnt natural gas was a telltale sign that this GOAT was special.
As we are allowed to say more about the photo shoot we will keep you all posted.
