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!

    I never thought I would see the day when our government would literally tell a business CEO to resign or get fired. Communism, I say, communism!!! It’s around the corner. Along with cap and trade, this will kill American business and our freedoms. Buy your weapons now.

    Fisherman’s Luck near the Dells, right on the River. It’s more of a bar and grill. I started going there about 12 years ago when they had 1 lb. chuck steaks for 5 bucks. That included a huge pile of fried potatoes with it and a great view of the Wisconsin River. I think it costs $7.50 nowadays…inflation ya know. I like TGI Fridays and Outback Steakhouse. When travelling, I like to find little local places that the locals like to eat at. Ned’s Pizza in Milwaukee and Demarinis Pizza in Bay View are good.

    The smell that emanates from Taco Bell is the exact same smell at the city dump. I personally cannot stand George Webbs.

    Holy crap!! is that Pontiacs version of the Vega??

    Yeah, that was the Astre. before you could get it in the US, the canadians had their version. The Astre grille in Canada didn’t look mucf different than the Vega except for a dividing bar in the center of the grille.

    There are lot of them like restaurants and such, but I would say I like Sonic Speakers from Cudahy Wisconsin. I use them in my DJ business. Good quality and price point, I think. They perform as well as any JBL or EV that I’ve seen. I’ve owned several AMC cars over the years, they were local to the state.

    A good old fashioned revolution would work. Torch AIG headquarters.

    Hello Everyone,

    Disrespecting or flaming a particular model of classic simply because you don’t own one or don’t like it isn’t right.

    Remember, the car does not know what kind it is. You could stick a bow tie on a Mustang or a blue oval on a Camaro, they would still run and look the same.

    lordairguitar,

    P.S. Do you remember how cold it was either last year or the year before, when everyone “huddled” inside the showroom just to stay warm?

    Marshall

    Yes, that was two years ago, and the last show I did for them. They changed to Rock n Roll Express with Donny Kasper, a very good friend of mine and a good DJ too. His dad is the well known auto upholsterer, Karl Kasper.

    Certainly, you meant to post Gus’s Drive-In, East Troy, and not Gus’s Diner, Sun Prairie?
