Quote:It doesn’t. and won’t, make any difference. Now they just drive without licenses. If we make them get licenses, they will just give false info and drive without a care anyway. Where will there be an improvement?
It’s not just about driving. Without a valid license or other state ID there are other things you can’t do. Any time you need to show an ID, the drivers license is the usual choice. Get stopped by the police? Show a license. Want to write a check? Show a license. Need to prove your age to buy cigarrettes or alchol? Show a license. Life is easier with it than without it.
Trader Joe won’t be in business long unless there are very loose rules about what is made in China. People only worry about cost and prices will have to go up if nothing from China is used. It’s a good publicity stunt but not very practical over time. I’ll bet that policy quietly changes before this time next year. Walmart used to brag about it’s American made stuff. October 11 their CEO was defending their China merchandise. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21254514/ He said they would pay 5-10% more for American made stuff but it wasn’t going to happen often.
I like to know what I’m being judged on and I’d like to see some of the judging sheets from the bigger shows around WI to know what I’ve been marked down on. (I’ve asked at a couple shows and have been told I can’t get the sheets, which I think is wrong). Concours judging should be fair and square for everyone but you will always get judges who prefer Ford vs. Chevrolet, etc. and no matter how good your car scores they can still mark it down.
I think judging should be done only to help improve the car, not be a beauty show at best or a “fixed” show at worst. I’m with Jon. I’d rather drive it than show it. I’ve won some trophys in the past and they are in the basement collecting dust. If you can’t get the results to show you what needs improvement, judging is useless. The only judge I will pay attention to is at a national club meet where he is an expert on my car and isn’t guessing about how things are supposed to be.
