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!

    Fox News for political truth that isn’t one-sided liberal biased media.

    Local news comes from WSJ… Cap Times is too progressive.

    On TV its Channel 15. Leigh Mills… :kiss: :kiss: :kiss:

    #1, let’s not create any jobs in WI.

    #2, Let’s blame the GOP for everything.

    #3, John Bergstrom, who employs many, many people in the State, is now a target by enviromentalists.

    When will society realize that people come first?

    Neighbor’s just got me cleaned out with the skid loaders. Drifts taller than myself, and I’m 6ft tall.

    Anyone who loves winter can kiss my ass.

    Not for this guy. Here’s hoping I can get out of my driveway tomorrow.

    Did you ever think it might be your attitude that is the problem. And if you dislike it so much why go.

    There are many restaurants in the area.

    You must have missed the part of my post where I say I meet up with good friends there to talk all things automotive… I don’t think my attitude is the problem, I think its the fact I don’t like how they cater to all of the rich old bastards week after week.

    Shouldn’t you be bitching about Scott Walker or something?

    There used to be a gasoline station/automotive themed restaurant in the Middleton area, right off of Airport Road. I am going back a few years, but they welcomed old cars to park in their lot on the weekends and provided free drinks to those who brought out their cars. Can someone help me remember the name of this establishment? I took my car out a couple of times and really appreciated the warm welcome and hospitality. It was very nice just hanging out in the parking lot and enjoying the variety of cars.

    Tallard’s Station. It was owned by a guy named Jim Johnson. That was an awesome place to eat, take your car, and enjoy a great atmosphere. I was upset when they closed, it was hard to beat the good times had there :(

    Sounds like a decent place. I have yet to check out the new QSL on Johnson St. in Madison, but I can say that when I attend a car night at the one in Middleton, I eat at home and bring my own drinks with me. I like the atmosphere, but not the food. Here’s why:

    -I’ve never had anything cooked the way Ive asked it to be prepared.

    -9 times out of 10 I get a waiter or waitress who has a piss poor attitude.

    -A friend of mine took his wife and daughters there last spring and it took them 90 minutes to get there food. He was lied to by two punk kid servers and the manager finally straightened it out. Got there meal for free, but piss-poor service once again.

    -I do not believe in mandatory gratuity for groups of 8 or more.

    -I know exactly what you’re talking about with the patio furniture tables and chairs. Kind of ghetto if you ask me.

    Now, I stated I like the atmosphere outside during the summer, but the Middleton atmosphere inside is another story:

    -The Thurs Nite DJ sucks. Then they have karaoke also, and I can’t decide which one is worse.

    -Bartenders in the ‘garage’ are not friendly. I want to buy a soda or a beer from a friendly bartender, not some college girl on the rag.

    -The nerd’s at the car gate last year were turning away some of my friends with modified import sports cars because they weren’t “classics”. As they’re turning cars around, here come two old geezers in new Corvettes who were welcomed with open arms. WTF? A new Corvette is now a classic, but an Evo and a Speed3 that could wax them ‘vettes hands down aren’t “classic enough?”

    If it wasn’t for the company of good friends, I’d tell QSL to kiss my ass. I don’t really care to go there this year, a cruise in started about 15 miles from where I live and its easier to get to, so I’ll spend my time there :)

    It would be interesting to see what side of the fence individual members of this forum are on.

    Joe Kennedy was a bootlegger. He became rich illegally.

    His children all got into politics. John cheated on Jackie with Marylin Monroe, and quite possibly had a three-way with her and his brother Bobby. His demise of course was some lead to the head, courtesy of Lee Harvey Oswald. 6 years later, Bobby met the same fate. Teddy was the only one who seemed to live, but ironically killed a woman and got away with it. Mary Jo Kopechne was unavailable for comment.

    If I feel sorry for anyone, its Jackie O. She was a genuinely good person.

    With that being said, the authenticity of this ambulance will always be in question. I find it very interesting, and will be curious to see the outcome, if there is one :dry:

    Bears. Homefield advantage and better offense. Plus only one Bear on the injury report, the Packers have 12 players listed.

    Oh, and Aaron Rodgers will never, EVER, be the caliber of QB that Brett Favre was.

    They were supposed to show up and cover our ‘Goodwrench’ signs with banners today, but I have yet to see them. We’ll be changing them permanently in the spring to ‘Chevrolet Certified Service.’

    We just got new Goodwrench uniforms last year too… So we’ll be changing them again in coming weeks I presume.

    Even though all the vehicles are made my GM, I like how they are going to promote the vehicles brand specific :) It will be like the 60’s muscle car era all over again… Except Chevy is the only line offering performance cars :) :)

    People are lazy, and society is built on hypocrisy. That same person who empties there ashtray at a stoplight, aka littering, will be the same person to bitch at you for driving a gas-guzzling V8 and leaving your carbon footprint. Nothing bothers me worse than when I park at the end of the lot with tons of open space and some idiot parks right next to me, some people don’t have a clue!!

    I’d like to put my carbon footprint right up there Earth Day ass.

    By State Law, If you have to move or drive a vehicle with blue plates in January, you are supposed to buy a temp tag from DOT. That temp tag is only good for 5 days.
