I went today for the first time in 10 years? Some deals to be had, not a ton of traffic. Some decent cars left for sale, some still there because the owners want outrageous prices for scrap.

I can’t see the car… All those trophies are in the way :whistle:
This guy could probably give circletrack a run for her money when it comes to hardware, that car is CLEAN.
I’ll print off the form and send it in with a check, I’m not about pre-registering with a credit or debit card.

I commented on how parking the cars this way meant visitors and their children were walking between cars to see other cars. I suggested putting the vendors along the outer edges and more space could be placed between cars.I also shared the feeling that every person I spoke with did not like…..having to pay for parking after we already paid a stupid amount to display in this show.
Basically they told me they didn’t care.
The parking and wide open edges they said
“Each car was given a 10’x20′ space and people were allowed to put up barriers. The open spaces along the edges were because of fire codes”…..really? So you can’t space people out just a little more and you have to leave wide open unused area because of fire codes….but it is ok for people to put their chairs up and sit in those areas? Bullshit
And the parking and stupid entrance fee
“Our fees are less than any other indoor show of this type” and “the parking fees are expected at any event like this”
What this tells me is this show can kiss my ass. It is a money grab, nothing more. They think $40 to show your car in tight space is a bargain. And they see nothing wrong with charging people who are showing their car an additional parking fee each day, including just to load out.
As much as it would be nice to have a QUALITY show at the AEC, this show can die for all I care
Car show for profit, its all about the Benjamins, not the passion behind the hobby.
I was going to come in on Sunday, but then decided to find something better to do.
Unleaded is currently $2.43/gal, convienently when I upgrade trucks to one with a 36 gallon tank :angry:
I was down there last month with a couple buddies, always good to take a walk through there to break up the winter.

Isn’t the owner of that car a member on here? :blink:
For what new cars and trucks cost, they should come with a 100k mile powertrain warranty.
Ford has 5/60k warranty, GM is wanting to stay competitive. The 2/24 maintenance they build into the price should be the responsibility of the vehicle owner, not the manufacturer.
The price won’t go down :angry:
