I don’t know, $20 to apply to have your car in the show up there?

I know quite a few people who have had there car in the show. Said it was a really good time, but were nervous with all the bicycles, skateboards, and homeless around there cars… They always seem to have a great turnout and good weather. It would be cool if this show got to be large enough they didn’t have to sort thru applicants, and could charge less for an entry fee?

agreed. I think we have discussed this the last 2 years. Sunday would be a better day, so you could have cars down st. street and around the capitol. There is already so much going on saturday morning with the farmers market.

Oh sign me up…..not, they should be paying us $20 to show up…The downtown businesses want to get customers down there, and they want to hand select the cars that show up. Make em pay… my .02

But then the SSBA would have to ok it, then the city council would take until the late hours of the morning to make a decision, then mayor dave would only want to select “green” vehicles, and so on…. That’s gonna cost a lot more than $20 :laugh:

Cars on State has become rediculously over rated. Its a “jurried” show with a huge price tag. Not to mention all the bikes, boards and such.

The concept is novel, the execution of it sucks.

I’d say there would be a few extra commitee meetings and a protest or two.

Maybe it should be a Hybrid parade instead..

Yeah, I remember the hybrid club at QSL last year… a couple hippies walking around the lot looking at other cars in there bare feet and hemp clothing…

I guess State Street wouldn’t really be much different then… :whistle:

Perhaps one could get together with the car people and the car clubs and ask for a solution to the problem of skaters and bikes.

There are very few car shows in Madison so this one is welcome. You won’t find a show with more spectators than this one. And from talking with some people who brought their cars last year, they had no issues.

agreed. This is a great show to get the public involved to see it they can catch the bug too.

Old hippie dude: Hey, I was enjoyin’ my buzz walking down State street, and like guess what, they had like these old cool cars with V8s in ’em.

Old hippie chicky: Wow! Talk about no respect for Mother Nature. I’ll bet they were real proud of their fossil fueled beasts. Maybe we should mount a protest.

OHD: I’m thinkin’ ’bout draggin’ the old Vega out of the back yard and restoring it. Maybe drop in a 350.

OHC: WHAT!!!??? And ruin my compost bin? No way.

OHD: Be cool sister, it’s like recycling…takin something old and rebuilding it, like your old bicycle.

OHC: It’ll be cool, I know a dude who wrecked his Prius and we can get the battery pack and controls out of it and mate it to the 350 and it’ll be awesome. It’ll be fast and good for the planet.

OHD: That’s what I mean, sister! Now I just need to get a real job instead of boxing day old bread at the co-op.
