Re: For Those Interested...

I was just considering showin' up, but if it's going to be a bunch of stock stuff and new cars (basically an ad for the dealership), I will be golfing instead. Oh well, that's really too bad. Forkdork...I thought your bro said your car was stock...what's this talk about 19's and lip?

Well I'm sure there will be a bunch of modified cars there, but having the show organizers straight up tell us that they do not want any kind of aftermarket shops' support, booths, door prizes, etc is wack.

It sounds like it'll be a regular car show with the dealership trying to whore it up with their own agenda as much as they can. That's my personal impression anyway. And I don't blame this on Joe. I think he just got the call from someone upstairs, and he has to follow their wishes.

Maybe VW Centre's whole goal is to attempt to monopolize the local aftermarket segment with their "Driver Gear" booth.

Aftermarket anything and everything is usually the whole point of a car show. It sounds like that's what it will be, but with the dealership controlling everything else. In my opinion, the show had/has the potential to be ALOT better, but they're trying to do it all themselves, their way.

Keeping in mind that I am in no way trying to sabotage this show now (I was one of the few that stepped up and wanted to help them out), and that I am only merely telling you out of towners what i've been told so that the blame doesn't come back to me later as to why you travelled hours for a lame show, but...

I'd be curious as to know exactly who and how many people have decided not to come now. I've heard of 3 from Manitoba backing out as a direct result of the email I received earlier today. There's alot of locals that are going to the show that are going to express their feelings, and I might print out some of the comments (comments only, no screen names) about what others (you guys) have to say.

Re: For Those Interested...

Did anyone end up going? I had a golf tourney to go to and couldn't get there for any decent amount of time. How was it?
