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!

    Specific Ratings (A-F):
    Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – A, but I’m an avid visitor to Pardeeville….
    Parking Location – A, there’s more than enough shade at this show unless you park on the football field.
    Class Organization – There is none, you park where you see fit. Not really a problem unless your a judge.
    Trophies & Prizes – A, very nice trophies this year!
    Food – C, it’s that time of year where I start to get sick of burgers, brats, etc. However, the apple pie I had was delicious!
    Entertainment – 3D Sound, thank your god of choice it wasn’t the annoying lady!
    Judging – I was a judge at this show, and I have to say it sucked. I spent almost 4 hours judging one class. By the end I was very irritated, and had enough. Classes need to be broked up a bit more, I spoke with Marshall about this and he agreed. They should have a class for muscle cars, camaros, mustangs, and break up the modified classes with a slightly modified and a highly modified class.
    Dash Plaque – Didn’t see any
    Variety of Cars – A, many I’ve never seen before.
    Bathrooms – There was a local park pisser and various plastic potties throughout the park.
    Weather – A, couldn’t ask for a better day….not sure what I was thinkin’ wearing a black t-shirt though dontknow.gif
    Trophy Presentation Timing – On time and kept things moving.
    Entry Fee – $10 I believe, didn’t take car this year.
    Overall Rating:A

    This is a great show that continues to grow each year! I think there are some more classes that need to be added, and for the judges sake it would be nice to have all cars grouped together in class. Congratulations to all our Forum winners today – MMRJR, DDhemi, and anyone else that was deserving of an award! It was a great day for a car show thumbsup.gif

    Very odd choice for a Vice-President.

    Yes Palin is an “odd” choice, but also a very strategic choice!

    The GOP will steer away some die-hard Billary votes from Obama/Biden and hopefully (my opinion only…..well, DDhemi’s also) keep Republicans in office.

    I saw a flier that read 2 free brats and two beers if you register a car, and that was free… sounds like a good show…free lunch

    I went to that two years ago, it was a nice little show. The brats were delicious, and the beers were a bonus thumbsup.gif

    I took my girlfriend on Saturday afternoon. There was a great display of vehicles, and I saw many friends and customers also. The car corral had some great deals also, like the ’70 challenger for sale from IL.

    $3.25 for a soda was out of line, no matter who was in charge of that racket. There were many great vendor displays also, good thing I left my credit card at home thumbsup.gif

    Absolute disprespect for car owners.

    I only had one guy get confrontational with me at a cruise night one time. I was at Wendy’s in Sun Prairie about 6-7 years ago with my Monte SS. Some jagoff was getting a phone number for another guy, and decided he would use my cars’ roof as his desktop. I was nearby and when I saw him start to write, I v-lined this clown screaming at the top of my lungs. So what’s he do? Moves from the roof to the t-top glass. I chewed this nerd a new one all the way back to his Karman Ghia VW wagon or whatever it was he was driving. As he’s leaving he then threatens me with violensce because he’s a black belt in karate. You’d have to check with DDHemi, but I’m pretty sure all I did was spit on him thru his car window after he threatened to kick my a$$.

    This was a “car guy”. People that have no clue about old cars are worse! Where do they get off threatening these guys. I know “Mike” and he’s a pretty mellow dude, except he did go off on a guy who called his kid names at a cruise night last year :haha: That guy had that coming :haha:

    Just one more reason I am a Pro-firearms advocate :banana:

    We had a couple of rods come thru here late last night from Nebraska. The nut for one guys oil psi sensor had come off, so I hooked him up with a nut and washer, and an extra quart of oil for the trip “just in case” as he told me he was using this trip for his break-in miles :banana:

    When the guy asked me what he owed and I told him it was on the house, I thought he was gonna fall over. I explained to him that being a car guy myself, I’ve been in his shoes on more than one occasion.

    He told me to look him up at the show, he’d buy me a beer thumbsup.gif

    How old is she? Johnny McCain threw away his other wife because she was having health problems. Maybe he should pick Edwards or Rudy.

    Maybe McCain likes his women like his cars – Gotta trade them in every couple of years for younger, better looking model thumbsup.gif

    That’s what I did sunny.gif

    War, high gas prices, the mortgage crisis – all to blame. Washington doesn’t want to do anything about it.

    As I’ve said before, I’m a conservative that is no fan of GWB. Not much of a McCain fan either, but Obama’s rhetoric speeches don’t explain how he can turn the country around either.

    It’s going to get worse before it gets better.

    No, I’m not happy. 22 gallons cost me $83!

    Drill here, drill now. Kiss off on all these middle eastern countries that bend us over every time we go to the pump. Put the speculators in front of a firing squad.

    As long as Obama picks Billary to guarantee a GOP win, I don’t care if McCain picks Mickey Mouse!
