Wisconsin Collector Car is going to host our first “Virtual” Car Show this Wednesday evening at 9:00PM. This is like a real car show only you don’t drive you car, you participate online. Not only could we have attendees from Wisconsin but also anywhere else in the world!!
We are currently working on the layout and design software, however here’s how this one will work.
Register your entry into the show (you must register by Tuesday night) simply by sending me a Private Message or email with this information (* information is required, all else is optional):
Username*:
Real Name:Make*:
Model*:
Year*:
Body Style*:
Engine*:
Additional Information:
City & State:
Also please include a photo or just state that you’ve already uploaded one on the Photo Gallery or Garage.On Wednesday night we will have a new page on the forum, where you will be able to view all the cars at the show with their information below. We ask that all owners be present at 9:00 until 9:30 at least. The purpose for this is you will all be able to use the “instant chat” feature of the forum (a new service!) to talk with each other about your cars and anything else car-related.
Hope to see you there!

Nice Idea…I’ll try and be here if Work permits..
Yeah I should! Just send it to me anyway so I don’t have the chance to make a mistake! :doh: Plus you can include any extra info you want
Geez, I’ll have to take some pix tomorrow. But I can’t be online Wednesday night ’cause I’ll be at work.

Garibaldi[9:43:36 PM]: I guess tuesday is the hot night
circletrack[7:43:19 PM]: What day is good though?
Garibaldi[9:43:42 PM]: It would be nice to have one each day of the week
GTO Man[7:43:22 PM]: It probably dilutes things somewhat
starkare[7:43:32 PM]: around the end of sept.
Garibaldi[9:43:58 PM]: incase of conflicts (ie rain) on tuesdays
circletrack[7:44:05 PM]: rain has been very common on Tuesday this year

GTO Man[7:44:39 PM]: I will put that cruise-in on the calendar
Garibaldi[9:45:24 PM]: Bodyslide do you know of any cruises in your area?

GTO Man[7:45:41 PM]: THere are some interesting ones down toward Milwaukee

GTO Man[7:46:12 PM]: Starkare, that is a good turnout
Garibaldi[9:46:36 PM]: I think the ideal week for me would be a show on sat or sun, cruise on tues, cruise on thurs, and repeat
circletrack[7:46:19 PM]: Isn’t Pistol Pete’s toward Milwaukee?
starkare[7:46:46 PM]: sure is
GTO Man[7:47:03 PM]: At Mt. Horeb I talked with the DJ from the 3D-Sound company,

GTO Man[7:53:09 PM]: Chevelle, did you start another forum?
19_Chevelle_69[7:53:21 PM]: not that I remember
19_Chevelle_69[7:53:28 PM]: lol… .i dunno, theres so many
GTO Man[7:53:46 PM]: I know what you mean
19_Chevelle_69[7:54:03 PM]: oh, ya I have one for our race team website. just something I threw together for our racing bucs
19_Chevelle_69[7:54:06 PM]: buds*
GTO Man[7:54:19 PM]: How is Prostreet doing, haven’t seen him on here in a long time
19_Chevelle_69[7:54:39 PM]: he’s as busy as me. building a new shop at his house
GTO Man[7:54:41 PM]: Where do you race?
GTO Man[7:55:03 PM]: It all takes time
19_Chevelle_69[7:55:11 PM]: toronto motorsports park in Cayuga ON
Garibaldi[9:55:40 PM]: don’t you mean he’s building a house around his shop????
GTO Man[7:55:31 PM]: How are gas prices up there
19_Chevelle_69[7:55:57 PM]: thats about the size of it. gas works out to $4/gallon
GTO Man[7:57:10 PM]: so were still a little cheaper here
circletrack Has exited the room
circletrack Has entered the room
GTO Man[7:57:33 PM]: It is putting a dent in the economy
GTO Man[7:57:52 PM]: Everything has gone up, not just fuel
19_Chevelle_69[7:58:10 PM]: yep, thats for sure
19_Chevelle_69[7:58:15 PM]: except wages
Garibaldi[9:58:48 PM]: yeah good point
Bodyslide[7:58:39 PM]: Food has gone up and will continue to go up pbecause of the fuel prices
19_Chevelle_69[7:59:00 PM]: transportation cost drive all prices up
Garibaldi[9:59:26 PM]: Yep, you’ve got to ship it
GTO Man[7:59:07 PM]: Exactly, with all the jobs being shipped overseas, what are people going to do over here
Garibaldi[9:59:38 PM]: and when you think about that, basically everything is affected
19_Chevelle_69[7:59:38 PM]: for sure
GTO Man[7:59:44 PM]: I wish there was a way to boycott the companies shipping jobs over
GTO Man[8:00:11 PM]: Wouldn’t be buying much of anything then
19_Chevelle_69[8:00:22 PM]: got to eat….
GTO Man[8:00:37 PM]: I think people are reaching a breaking point
circletrack[8:01:26 PM]: Sooner or later it gets to the point where you can’t afford food over gas
19_Chevelle_69[8:01:29 PM]: problem is everyone hangs on to their money, then that causes a recession in the economy
GTO Man[8:01:50 PM]: And with the war in the mideast, which could very easily escalate
19_Chevelle_69[8:02:13 PM]: very true
Garibaldi[10:02:51 PM]: and our pipelines being closed in alaska..
circletrack[8:02:30 PM]: I fill up at 1/2 tank at least once a week and it’s $30-40 each time
Garibaldi[10:03:20 PM]: you’d almost rather fill up more often to sort of convince yourself its not as bad a price as it seems
GTO Man[8:03:13 PM]: You can blame BP for not maintaining it
circletrack[8:03:25 PM]: sometimes I wonder what’s really the truth. last week prices jumped .15 overnight because of a “supposed” hurricane that never happened
circletrack[8:03:35 PM]: well, no hurricane but the prices don’t come down
GTO Man[8:03:36 PM]: People are changing their driving habits
circletrack[8:03:56 PM]: I still have to drive to work everyday
Garibaldi[10:04:28 PM]: yeah it seems like any “hype” whether real or fake causes it to jump
GTO Man[8:04:03 PM]: We are the ones being taken advantage of
Garibaldi[10:04:38 PM]: you can bet that the jump is no accident
Bodyslide[8:04:13 PM]: Yes. I try to make all stops in one trip, gas, post office and groceries, also try to keep my foot out of the gas
GTO Man[8:04:31 PM]: I am glad I don’t have a long comute
GTO Man[8:05:03 PM]: I don’t believe the stations are making the money, someone in the middle
GTO Man[8:05:34 PM]: I used to say at some point it will be cheaper to racing fuel, its not that far off
19_Chevelle_69 Has exited the room
GTO Man[8:06:05 PM]: Its 4.99 here, and hasn’t jumped much in the last year
circletrack[8:06:22 PM]: the stations aren’t making much, people buy gas and leave
GTO Man[8:06:44 PM]: I think this has worked out good for the first night
circletrack[8:07:02 PM]: me too! I should call it a night soon ~ mornings come quickly!
GTO Man[8:07:02 PM]: Yea, they buy gas but not the extras
GTO Man[8:07:15 PM]: And the extras is where they make their money
GTO Man[8:08:26 PM]: Sarkare how are gas prices up there
19_Chevelle_69 Has entered the room
19_Chevelle_69[8:10:07 PM]: hmm… dumb MS Winblows
19_Chevelle_69[8:10:10 PM]: lol

GTO Man[8:11:13 PM]: THere is a pic in the photo gallery
19_Chevelle_69[8:11:18 PM]: IE 6
Garibaldi[10:11:50 PM]: why no firefox?
GTO Man[8:11:33 PM]: It is a post coupe isn’t it
19_Chevelle_69[8:11:51 PM]: yep, 2dr sedan
circletrack[8:12:03 PM]: I don’t see it here, where?
GTO Man[8:12:13 PM]: Do you race it
19_Chevelle_69[8:12:15 PM]: IE6 because I’m a glutton for punishment
Garibaldi[10:12:42 PM]: http://www.wiscollectorcar.com/coppermine/cpg132/thumbnails.php?album=151

circletrack[8:13:08 PM]: Thanks! Once again!
GTO Man[8:13:12 PM]: Chevelle, have you seen Circletrack’s car
19_Chevelle_69[8:13:21 PM]: nope
GTO Man[8:14:47 PM]: Do you go to any car show
GTO Man[8:14:47 PM]: Do you go to any car show
Garibaldi[10:15:40 PM]: here’s one of circletrack’s chevelle: http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/1221/im002610wz9.jpg
19_Chevelle_69[8:15:27 PM]: used to, but have no time for that any more. I go to the track, but only when we’re racing.
GTO Man[8:16:20 PM]: I know what you mean, never enough time for everything
Garibaldi[10:16:45 PM]: you do radio too don’t you?
19_Chevelle_69[8:16:46 PM]: yep… amateur radio, call is VA3MTM
Garibaldi[10:17:20 PM]: Do you do talk shows?
GTO Man[8:17:19 PM]: Circletrack has a beautiful Chevelle, very well done
circletrack[8:17:24 PM]: that’s quite the picture
19_Chevelle_69[8:17:41 PM]: no talk shows, but talk all over the place some times
circletrack[8:17:52 PM]: Thanks! We’re thinking of “tweaking” it a bit this winter
19_Chevelle_69[8:18:26 PM]: yes, VERY nice chevelle
Garibaldi[10:18:56 PM]: I like that shade of red, it has a nice hue
GTO Man[8:18:49 PM]: What are you thinking of doing
GTO Man[8:19:42 PM]: Chevelle hows the weather been this summer
circletrack[8:19:57 PM]: a few improvements
19_Chevelle_69[8:20:18 PM]: too hot and humid for me
circletrack[8:20:22 PM]: we drive it all over, even took it to TN in June
Garibaldi[10:21:05 PM]: that sounded like it was a lot of fun
Garibaldi[10:21:16 PM]: was it all just chevelles?
GTO Man[8:20:58 PM]: How was the trip to TN
circletrack[8:21:27 PM]: lots and lots of fun! being surrounded by 400-500 other Chevelle’s was amazing
19_Chevelle_69[8:21:48 PM]: Chevelleabration
circletrack[8:21:49 PM]: Yes! We even got to take a trip around Nashville Super Speedway
Garibaldi[10:22:13 PM]: That would be quite the experience!
19_Chevelle_69[8:21:53 PM]: wanted to go
Bodyslide[8:22:01 PM]: Sturgis is going on this week..Here’s a nice webpage with a Webcam http://www.sturgisbikeweek.com/
circletrack[8:22:04 PM]: Yes! Are you a member of Aces?
GTO Man[8:22:15 PM]: That would be cool
19_Chevelle_69[8:22:26 PM]: nope, but was on chevelles.com for a while
19_Chevelle_69[8:22:32 PM]: same username there
circletrack[8:22:42 PM]: Great website and group of people
19_Chevelle_69[8:23:23 PM]: that’s for sure
circletrack[8:23:25 PM]: The hotels there were so cool, burnouts in the parking lots, they didn’t care
circletrack[8:23:44 PM]: Unlike Wisconsin where you can’t do anything, very anti car
GTO Man[8:24:05 PM]: Especially Madison
GTO Man[8:24:28 PM]: Our Mayor is afraid to drive the highway surrounding the city
Garibaldi[10:25:04 PM]: yeah, corvettes on the ithmus is a good example
Garibaldi[10:25:10 PM]: isthmus
circletrack[8:24:51 PM]: Our Mayor is afraid to do just about anything, I’m thinking
GTO Man[8:24:55 PM]: He would ban autos if he could
GTO Man[8:25:34 PM]: Thats why that show moved north of here
circletrack[8:25:46 PM]: The State St. issue is a big mess
GTO Man[8:25:47 PM]: How is Deforest for putting on a show
circletrack[8:26:02 PM]: Madison is so big, we should have a show, but they probably won’t allow it
circletrack[8:26:08 PM]: DeForest is a great location
Garibaldi[10:26:40 PM]: and its pretty close too
GTO Man[8:26:29 PM]: We need some cops who know how to deal with the type of crime we are getting
circletrack[8:26:30 PM]: Your car looks nice 69!
19_Chevelle_69[8:26:39 PM]: thanks
19_Chevelle_69[8:26:45 PM]: its a 60 footere
circletrack[8:26:49 PM]: Bring on the “Hells Angels” to clean it up!
19_Chevelle_69[8:26:55 PM]: footer. 1/4’s are poor
GTO Man[8:27:02 PM]: Is that a fairly rare model
19_Chevelle_69[8:27:15 PM]: 2dr sedan?
circletrack[8:27:27 PM]: You can get 1/4’s for that
GTO Man[8:27:50 PM]: The post coupe? I know they are fairly rare in the gto
19_Chevelle_69[8:28:30 PM]: yes, they are available, but I need full 1/4’s and they are 1k each up here
GTO Man[8:28:54 PM]: thats pretty pricey
circletrack[8:28:58 PM]: ouch!
19_Chevelle_69[8:29:01 PM]: yep
circletrack[8:29:13 PM]: we can get them for $450 here
19_Chevelle_69[8:29:14 PM]: thats why they didnt get replaced…lol
19_Chevelle_69[8:29:36 PM]: right to the roof? or to the top of the swell?
circletrack[8:29:36 PM]: as long as you enjoy it and have fun ~ that’s all that counts
GTO Man[8:29:51 PM]: Just bought a carb for our 56 Tbird, that was $450
19_Chevelle_69[8:30:02 PM]: 1/2 panels are cheaper here too, but mine have already been butchered years ago
circletrack[8:30:05 PM]: fulll all the way to the roof
Garibaldi[10:30:32 PM]: it was running fine for edgerton
Garibaldi[10:30:40 PM]: but the next weekend it just was idling really rough
GTO Man[8:30:29 PM]: Didn’t have much choice, gas was leaking all the time into the secondaries
circletrack[8:30:43 PM]: can’t have that!
circletrack[8:31:01 PM]: how long have you owned the car, 69?
19_Chevelle_69[8:31:03 PM]: i got to run guys, this was a great idea!
19_Chevelle_69[8:31:10 PM]: 4 years
19_Chevelle_69[8:31:12 PM]: or so

Garibaldi[10:32:30 PM]: we’ll set it up again soon
GTO Man[8:32:12 PM]: Take it easy
