Someone who defines themself as a hot rodder but has never worked on a car before. They pay a shop to build a car and perform modification/maintenance instead of doing it themself. Often they dont even know anything about the car they had built.
Bob: "Thats a nice 32 3 window over there" Tim: "Yea, but the owners a gold chainer, he doesnt even know what engine hes running."

gold chainer
A particular class of douchebag who usually wears a gold chain with extra douchosity. A player. Very sleazy sometimes also has a 70's porn moustache. Warning: Even if personality & looks seem ok, a gold chain tells the real story. Steer clear at all costs

Fat Boy, I'll assume you may not know some history of gold chains; it has long been an Italian religious tradition that gold chains provide the wearer with protection from above, and are given as gifts for special milestones in one's life, very similar to wearing a cross around one's neck. Just saying.
The first time I did the Daytona run, I was entertained by the "bikers" sporting $600 worth of leathers, and long-hair wigs, with matching "ol Ladies." Then there was the guy outside the hotel room with an 80 EVO with a kickstart mod, kicking and kicking, and finally, he just grabs the starter button.
If it weren't for the gold chainers in our worlds, the R&D that occurs in all sports/hobbies wouldn't happen though. They are a necessary evil.
Talking to a guy yesterday with an original Shelby 500. He drives it. He can no longer compete in car shows, because wealthy dudes show up with show room restorations that seldom see outdoors.
Like my Dodge RT. Completely original, less a paint job 20 years ago. I never place at shows, because there are at least 3 1963 Split Window Vettes competing in my catagory, not to mention the pristine GTO's, Fastbacks, and fiberglass Shelbys. :shrug: Just another place for me to slap down a patio chair and drink beer.

Amen to that!. I have the same issue with my truck at shows. It gets plenty of looks and people ask a lot of questions about it, but when it comes down to voting the votes go to trailer queens or whatever car club has the most members represented and they vote for each other.
My neighbor I guess would be a gold chainer. He has some pretty amazing cars, but doesn't know anything about them other than how to wash them. I try to talk to him about his cars and he just gives me a blank stare. He does have some money though to pay someone to do the work to the cars. :facepalm:

Not even close. What kind of person feels good about winning an award, when someone else did the build? Shit man, I'd rather be rolling with a jealous streak than suffer from the libido issues those dudes have.
A guy spends 250 THOUSAND dollars, he feels the NEED to win SOMETHING. The backyard mechanic who did his own sectioning job in his garage doesn't win awards anymore. I see this often.

I was just worried because I have a gold color chain on my baja :doah:
Understand exactly what you mean though, used to be a guy in my local Mustang club, had 10's of thousands into his car, every time they made a larger model supercharger he upgraded, upgraded his fuels system like 4 times, was pushing over 800HP last time I heard and zero parts had ever been touched by him
When I talked to the guy who tuned it he said with 100% honesty that the only time that car has been over 3500RPM was on his dyno

Your right but the funny thing is everyone already knows about the car before it even hits the show,they know what shop built it. I had guys show up claiming they built stuff and had spectators call them a liar to their face. Most shops put build pics up on their websites as the project progress's. most people respect the talent not the owner.
Kind of like claiming to be a motor builder but yet going on Bob's 4 cycle and asking rookie questions about motor building......
