Venom (I guess that is Troy was mentioning down below with the guy who
commented about
black spiderman who probably brought his bong to car show
and crossed Troy's path) first
appeared in 1980s.

Unless
he was talking about the black spiderman, the uh, other one with almost
identical
Spiderman costume except black costume perhaps. If I was at the
Sierra Vista car show and
someone told me that I would have offered to buy
them a smoked turkey leg or bag of
Cheetos as they probably really had the
munchies about then.
Here is great looking shot of both:

and Venom not the smoked turkey leg that is two Goofys here:

Interesting
that bongboy mentioned that all three "Ford Chevy & Dodge (not Mopar) are
red
spidermen as Spiderman does have about as many different costumes as
Lady Gaga.
Anti hot rod? AMC used to plug itself as 'a sensible
alternative' and 'if you had to
compete with Ford, GM & Chrysler what
would you do' and did a great job with it with
memorable ads.
My
question to him would have been simply 'are you a judge?' as if so you could
have filed
formal compalint about a judge being bias. It happens when a
say, Mopar friendly judge
lets emotion cloud judging when supposed to be
impartial. And it can have a decimating
effect on any future car show(s)
that organization might have if car owners think it is
simply rigged for
all 350 Chevys. I could tell you a number of stories about cars shows in
and around (mixed make) Houston this destroyed any attendance they had
when word spread
afterwards about bias judging.
And then again, who
knows, this fellow sprouting off about different colored spidermen
might
have a one hitter built into dash of his 66 Nova, sort of like Wayne &
Garth had a
soda dispenser built in dash of their Wayne's World
Pacer!

Subject: [AMC-list] AMC the black spiderman,
what!?!
I went to the Sierra Vista Car show yesterday with my 71 AMC
Javelin. I did not win, which
I am ok with since there were some very high
dollar cars there. A guy comes along and
explained why I did not win a
trophy. I had to post this because I am pretty sure he was
on something
and it was just too funny not to pass along.
?
He explained that Chevy,
Ford, and Dodge are like the RED spiderman, and AMC is like the
BLACK
spiderman. He says the majority of people like the red spiderman, and dislike
the
black spiderman, hence I did not win, and AMC is the anti hotrod.
Dude, lay off the dope
for a little while will
ya.........
