Garibaldi, The forum comes up slow, the individual pages do come slowly but not as slow as the forum itself.
Quote:Did the economy affect your habits as far as car shows this year?No, in fact I attended more shows this year than in years past
Quote:Did you attend less shows than in the past?See above.
Quote:Were you not willing to drive as far to a show?Living southwest of Milwaukee, I drove to Fond Du Lac and the upper peninsula.
Quote:Did you not spend as much money while at the show as you did in the past?Money spent was the same, bought model cars at car shows and motel rentals when warranted.
Quote:Did you not do as much to your car or cars than you were planning on doing?Car is new, not much to do to it.

Quote:What are your plans for next year, especially if the economy doesn’t improve much?More more more more, oh…and did I say more? blob8.gif
The site loads slowly at this end. I have cable, so that’s not the issue. faster loading would make me happy. I like the site pretty much though.
I’m hoping some of you come to The YMCA show Saturday. The weather looks to be good next weekend. I’ll be DJing this one as well.
Quote:How was he trying to trick her? It seems like he just was asking what her position was on it – hence does she support preemptive invasions and the other Bush foreign policies regarding countries potentially related to terroristsBecause even I didn’t know what he was getting at. Bush Doctrine could mean a whole lot of things from the mentioned pre-emptive strike to oil, to finance, to just about anything. Besides that, Bush isn’t running, they need to quit bringing him into it. It would have been more relevant to ask about Mc Cain’s positions.
Wow, that looks better than QSL. Probably cheaper too. I just got a weird vibe at QSL, not saying it’s a bad cruise night, it isn’t. I think this place in Mazomanie is more to my liking.
Quote:we had to park our Pontiac with the corvairs.With all the cars they are getting, perhaps they need to institute a year cut-off date like at WSRA CornRoast in FDL. I know that would exclude my car because it’s a 2007, but that would be the way to go.
He at first was trying to trick her with that question about “Bush doctrine”. WTF was that? He eventually reveals what he was after. How does anyone answer something like that. I think if we have to go in and get some one hiding out in Pakistan, we should go.
Specific Ratings (A-F):
Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) -A… Very easy, as many cars as there are, it went smoothly
Parking Location -A… Parking is close to swap area, I was showing, so I was on the grounds

Food -C…I like my hot dogs and brats to be grilled, not boiled….bleah! Ran out to soon of diet soda and food followed shortly after.
Entertainment -F-…Once again, the bain of DJ entertainment, 3D Sound was the company used. I had forgotten how annoying this clown is. talk talk talk talk, likes to hear himself, I think. Called some military 2 1/2 ton 6 axle troop transports; TANKS!!! Started the day jabbering about every car that drove in…everything rusty was a rat rod, anything with wide tires was a pro street. I really don’t know why they hire this guy seeing he comes all the way from Dixon Illinois. They do have a very nice system, tho.
Judging -C…Kinda whatever trips their trigger I guess from what I heard.
Dash Plaque -B…Got one
Variety of Cars -A…very diverse! Everything from stock restored to the obscure. Saw a Kaiser dragon, about three Hudson Commodores, a Henney Kilowatt (electric Renault Dauphine sold in 1960) and a gaggle of Amphicars, a Packard Hawk with it’s catfish like grille.
