Uhh. I’m kinda slow out of the gate sometimes. But this event seems like a pretty big deal. Is this a national amo event? I honestly am not a car show oriented guy and pay them no attention.

Most of us aren't either. We mostly hang around in the swap meet and have a beer or ten. Then at night we hang around in the parking lot shoot the shit and have a few more beverages. Sometimes I don't even walk the show field but it is always a great time.

Sometimes I don't even walk the show field but it is always a great time. That is what it IS all about. At the Sooper Crooze my Buddy Duh George left us on the back street to go to the front street to "see more rides" Um, your dumb ass walked the "show" for two days, watched the cruise last night. You've seen every fucking Car 10 times. It's about the Social event. We were drinking Beer, BSing with people pulling in to cool their cars, cause that's the only lace there is to park, main street is packed..... and we got to watch my Son almost get raped by 3 fat chicks. It was a good and funny time. DG's Gay ass sat on main all by himself watching cars. If you've been to 10 Car Shows you've seen every fucking Car in the World.

I think to show is okay. I think the swap meet is AMAZING! It is a continuous cocktail hour! Plus I need some parts!!

I've walked out into the field at a few shows but it was only to see and take pix of a few specific cars (namely SC/360's). For me it's always been about the parts and hanging with friends that I only get to see a few times a year (that is if I am lucky).

Get yourself a "round trip" or get in your car and get to Knoxville. I have a room with two Queen size beds from Thursday till Saturday and I can't sleep in both......

Tony, I saw your post about how everyone else had gotten home long before you did and all I wanted to do was to brag to you about getting home about 8 PM on Saturday night of the show. Well..... Sunday afternoon I ended up at the emergency room with a severe intestinal infection (I think it was the hotdogs that we had at the ball game ;-) ) that I am still getting over two weeks later. I am finally starting to feel better after two trips to the E-room and two different medications. The second med they put me on has made me bed ridden for the better part of a week. It was the worst internal "bug" I've ever had. I think I would have opted to make it home a week later over the medical problems I've had since the after the show..

That doesn't sound fun at all!
The 5 1/2 day drive home was terrible.
