It's a better
and next to it, his black '98 Ca-
maro, gleaming in the sun.
Mehl, owner of two muscle
cars, said he takes the classic
'80s Camaro to contests and it
wins — most of the time.
"This wins every car show,"
Mehl said, commenting on how
most judges at car shows he at-
tends are older and often feel sen-
timent toward his '80s Camaro,
saying things like "Oh yeah, I
remember in high school..."
Mehl said he often gets bored
when competing and tries to en-
ter contests when he knows the
competition is going to be more
difficult.
"There are
different levels of
pimping."

the marketing faculty
"I usually try to go when other
cars like mine are entered so it
makes it more of a competition,"
Mehl said, as he cleaned some of
the dust off his '87.
As far as other reactions his

car receives, Mehl jokingly said
sometimes women will ask him
when he's going to take them out
in his car.
"I think 30 percent [of women
look at a man's car]," Mehl said.
"The others can't really tell or
don't care."
In order to win competitions
and keep his car in good condi-
tion, Mehl said he's done a lot
of custom work himself. His '87
Camaro has a modified trans-
mission, a large cold-air intake,
ceramic-coated headers and
completely reworked springs,
