Quote:I totally agree, the F & F movies are pretty weak.Some of my fav. movies: Gran Tourino, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Casino Royale, Ghost in the Shell, Princess Mononoke, The Gundam Wing series (not really movies), The Watchmen, The Dark Knight, Bullit…to name a few.
Everyone has their own tastes.
I too enjoyed Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. I also enjoyed both Batman movies where Micheal Keaton was Bruce Wayne. I have an ungodly collection of Batman comics to this day… The Val Kilmer/George Clooney movies reminded me of the Adam West TV show of the ’60s.
I rented Watchmen and only got to see it once. Never read the series, I’ll have to watch it again as it left me with many unanswered questions.
Bullitt – Awesome 60’s movies with an excellent choice in vehicles. Steve McQueen is the man!!!

I haven’t seen TF2 yet, but I hear its awesome. I loved Clint Eastwood in all the Dirty Harry movies, and the westerns like The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, A fist full of dollars, and a few dollars more. Gran Torino is by far one of (if not) my favorite movies!!!
I’m not sure how many WCC members are on Facebook, but as of late there is some info being passed around the web regarding Jim Caudle, and I felt the people here should be made aware of it.
Now, I saw the info from ddhemi’s page posted by Lance Peterson, and I personally don’t believe a word that comes out of his mouth. The info thats been posted in some status updates is saying that Jim never had cancer, and that it was a hoax. Like I said, I can’t verify how good the info is because you can’t believe anything Lance Peterson says or types up like a 3rd grader. It could be a pissing match between two grown men for all I know, but with all the embezzlement, cheating, throat cutting, and theft going on with non-profit organizations lately (especially around WI) I think someone close to the source should get involved.
Though I am no fan of Lance, I know many people who attended this event to help someone in need. I am glad to call many of them my friend, and as those who are my close friends know, I watch out for all of my friends.
I don’t mean to be “that guy”, but I know if I found this out after I donated time, door prizes, or money to find out I got took, I’d be pissed off. I hope those in charge of the rumor machine pay for there sins :angry:
We ran errands today, it was nice to be out in the end of October with a short sleeve shirt on.
We’ll be putting the Impala away for the winter next week, and it won’t come out until May 1.

If I’m not mistaken, this car was in the car corral at Beloit Autorama for sale. Its cleaner in these pics, but a damn nice GN for that kinda money.
I might have to contemplate this….
I can’t believe Ive never heard of the place!!!
I’m going to get over and check it out here hopefully the first week of November

Quote:By now alot of you know that I am a Great Lakes Division Rodders Rep for Goodguy’s. Yes, I know this. I am going to try to reason it as I see it. I wrote a letter to Goodguys telling them of much displeasure here in southern Wisconsin with their decision to leave Madison.I was just as upset and dissappointed as alot of you. The Great Lakes Nationals had bounced around for quite a few years, and never really found a permanent home. As a Goodguys Rep, did you meet with any of the corporate goons in person and voice the concerns? Well damn, now I gotta drive a couple hours further to get to a Goodguys event. Guess what, that’s why I own my car’s, I like to drive them. As far as the expense label that I hear over and over, I don’t get it. Goodguys is offering a early bird registration for Joliet for $40.00 for members. Yeah, for the members. But its got to be hard to get new members with such a price tag. Let me remind you the USA is in one hell of a recession, and people are watching there wallets closely…no matter how much $$$ you got in the bank. ” Too much money ” you say, well that includes Fri., Sat. Sun., admission for 2 adults, 2 children and their vehicle, to a national event.I’ve been to many local shows that charge $10 – $12 or more, for 1 day, with some even charging extra for passengers. Automotion in WI Dells draws 1000 cars nowadays, and one can attend that show for two days and spend $15. With your entry fee you also get a event mug,and dash plaque. Most every show you go to gets you a dash plaque, goody bag, door prizes, etc. Goodguys gives away $1000’s of dollars of merchandise at every event throughout the season. For what they charge to get into the event they should! Participant names are drawn at each event,all 3 days til all are claimed. Sounds like the average door prize drawing at shows, some use names, some use raffle tickets. Have you seen the Goodguys giveaway cars? Go to the Goodguys website and check out the “Boss Snake” a very special Ford Mustang. As a participant you are automatically entered in a drawing to win one of these cars. You win it, but still have to pay tax on it. Your registration fee for Joliet will also get you and your family several laps around the Chicagoland Speedway, a recently built, state of the art Nascar racetrack. Stay behind the pace truck’s and go. I will guarantee, nothing but smiles. So, your entry fee more or less buys you bragging rights so you can say you drove your car on the track? I went 150 mph around that track in one of Richard Petty’s cars during the driving experience…that i got for free. I agree, its fun. How much is supper on a Friday night for a family of four? Now,four tickets to the movie, popcorn,soda,etc. How the hell should I know? Now I like car stuff so I’ll take the three days at Joliet. It would be so handy to have a show in Madison, but It’s gone. I’ve heard all the stories, but It was a corporate decision and I like you felt pissed off but moved on. I went one year, the last year, spent an load of cash and an afternoon at the Coluseium. Do the Goodguys know that there are a lot cheaper places in Southern WI to have there event? We hooked up with friends from Wisconsin for last month’s Joliet, which was their first time,and they had the time of their lives. Good for them, but just because they spent $40 for the weekend and enjoyed themselves doesn’t mean others will. Once again, Between the sponsors and the memberships, they can afford to lower the registration fees. I guarantee the attendance would increase. Join us next year. Let’s all go down together. In fact two cars from the Madison area were chosen for awards. Oh, whoopidee freakin doo[/b]I too attend many car shows throughout the summer. I’ve seen the best and the worst, and I’m usually quite vocal when it comes to both.
I won’t be making the trip to Joliet next year. Price is a factor for me, plain and simple.

Quote:Hope show will come back, i got mad & canceled my subscription!There were lots of nice cars at this show, but $25 to put a car in is high IMO. As a spectator, I didn’t appreciate having to pay $15 per person to enter the event on top of paying the county $5 to park. Then concessions were out this world with there $$$’s.
If Goodguys does come back, I do hope they sharpen there pencil’s a bit.
Between the kid spilling the beans on Larry King Live, and a the Physics Professer from the University of Denver proving the baloon wouldn’t fly with a 37 lb kid in it, to throwing up (most likely due to stress) on the Today Show, it gave it away this was a conspiracy.
The dad had a reality tv show deal with a major network, to which they dropped after the baloon incident.
It seems only stupid people breed these days :angry:
