See You Down The Road

After many years serving the classic car community, Wisconsin Collector Car will be shutting down at the end of 2024. Thank you for all of the car show memories!

    Cash? Can I use my debit card? Normally don’t carry much cash on me… unless I’ve been working ;)

    The championship has come down to two drivers, and really was down to two drivers long before Jeff decided to take Clint out of the race. It’s hard to put ourselves into their shoes, and unfair to make decisions until we know what really goes on. Racing is a sport, but it’s also their jobs and it’s a lot of work – much more than turning left for a few hours on Sunday. I’ve been a Hendrick fan for many years, and will continue to be. Jeff normally does not race like that, and I can only imagine he did that as he felt there was no other choice, he’d done everything he could to get the point across, which he did. Nascar acted appropriately in fining him, they will have plenty of time to reflect on this season and move on…

    Sounds like if you are a current employee, you’ll have to try to keep your job and heaven forbid if you are management – forget about it :( Nice..

    I think I know this guy…

    I would agree that taking a car like that to Farm & Fleet is not a good idea, heck I don’t like to take my Impala to places like that and still try to park out of the way when I can, but we should be allowed to drive our vehicles and enjoy them.

    All that does no good when you have people that have no respect for anyone else’s property, resulting in the scrape I have on my door handle, all the way down to the primer and beyond.

    Stuff like this tends to make a person very angry, I’d probably have done the same. Another lesson in life..

    Ok… lots of creativity but I don’t think anyone else but the owner will appreciate that :(

    Velocity is just plain addicting with all the shows and auctions!

    It’s always risky having a show this late in the year, and unfortunately the last couple weekends have proven to be nasty…. I’m hoping we get a few more nice days in, not ready to put the car in storage yet! :(

    I agree that there were a lot more cars at shows this year.

    I liked that at the Road Apples show they moved folks that were in the wrong classes.

    We ticked a few people off by doing that though.. :)

    Having a show done by 2 p.m. is a lot of work, especially if you have well over 200 cars and try to judge everyone fairly. I’m fine with shows that have awards at 3, it’s the ones that say awards are at 4 and it’s closer to 4:30 or 5, and sometimes around 6 by the time you actually get home, that’s one very long day, especially if it’s hot out.

    I enjoyed many of the shows we attended this year, and don’t really have a favorite. I like the shows that are held in smaller towns, and enjoy supporting a show that gives back to charity. We were able to give over $2000 away this year to the Dream Park and to lung cancer research, both causes near and dear to our hearts.

    Pardeeville is always fun, but has gotten out of hand. I’ve overheard comments they would like to have 1000 cars in that park.. I have no idea how they think that is going to work with the small pool of judges they have, let alone more and more people are needed to help with that show. The location is perfect, and they were blessed with a picture perfect day this year.

    I’m hoping the weather is more cooperative next summer, and can’t believe it’s already over :(

    Think we might be done for the year, or will spend the weekend going for a cruise.. Being outside when it’s in the 40’s and windy… not my idea of fun, but we’ll just have to remember how HOT it was just a month ago! ;)
