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!

    Wow, thats a lot less than i wouldve expected to operate a charging station per day. At that price, i can see a lot of charging stations popping up. Kohls over at West Towne also has charging stations for electric cars!

    I had seen elsewhere that the magic tucker convertible was going to be on barrett jackson, which suprised me because they would not run it over the block when the big debacle first started. Im curious to see what Bruce Stewarts old Willys goes for.

    You aren’t stuck, you can just plug in for whatever time you have. The plug-ins will get more and more common over time. So at some point people may be able to plug in at just about everyplace they go.

    A workplace with plug-ins for employees would be a big plus. That would be a consideration in me taking a job.

    I would like to see the electric bill for a business with a charging station. Unless an energy credit is available, I couldnt see a business installing these for employee use.

    I see the new kwik trip in Mt. Horeb has an electric car recharge station.

    I know a guy with collector plates on a K car(s)… :whistle:

    I also agree that daily srivers shouldnt have collector plates either. I see a late 80s chevy celebrity driving around Verona with blue plates on it year round.

    I liked the sycolnes better than the typhoon, though they share the same drivetrain. I worked on a lot of caddy allantes back in the day, they were/are an electrical nightmare and i get piss shivers everytime i see one. I feel old when i see collector plates on a fox body mustang, but then i realize i own a g-body with collector plates on it which drains my fountain of youth :)

    I dont watch much college football, but i think the Badgers can do better without Bielema. I met Barry Alvarez when i was like 14 or 15 and he was very arrogant, in his defense he had just won a Rose Bowl. A few years ago I saw Bielema at Tony Franks out whoopin it up on the town. I wasnt impressed by his demeanor then or on tv.

    I hope the new guy can keep our school football team in bowl games for years to come!

    The new setup is much more mobile device friendly.

    Here’s how my truck looked after i blasted my way thru ten miles of snow drifts on my way home yesterday. I took the other one off my porch yesterday afternoon, my great grandfathers windmill stands over 7ft tall, while those stack of pallets are slightly taller than me, and im 6ft.

    Ive been at home since noon yesterday and have yet to see a plow go by. Until the township plows, my (good) neighbor wont be able to get down and clear my driveway with his bobcat. I couldve stood to go to work today, too.

    I talked to ddhemi earlier and he’s on call. Doesnt do a whole lot of good when his driveway is also a town road that has not been plowed either.

    Im snowed in and likely not going anywhere for at least another day. Apparently the dot has instructed plows to not plow county roads until tomorrow.

    It will be nice to have some honda competition in madison. Zimbricks parts dept is better than it was, but Wilde delivers me parts from MKE and sells at 20% less than Zimbrick. Along with creating a few new jobs, this competition may be good for the community.

    Seen this happen a lot over the years, one dealer gets bought out by another and they re-hire the old employees at less money and make them work there way back up the ladder. Managers are usually making too much already and the new boss will hire someone who’s a bit hungrier and will work for less.

    the simple solution here would be to not drive your camaro to farm and fleet. i don’t even like leaving my truck in that parking lot. the other guy didn’t do anything to deserve the treatment he received.
