    I'll be shopping in the car corral! What are you selling?

    in Hershey Meet

    Posted

    So I've sold the Burb and have been looking for another vehicle.  Requirements:

     

    Clean!

    Runs well (it will be my daily driver)

    Can be entered  into HPOF or DPC

    Late 60's-'94 station wagon :) or Blazer (I'd love a full-size one but am sure it will be out of my price range)

    I'm fairly comfortable with going up to $10k. I know it's not a lot, and my choices might be slim, but it's what I've got to work with :) 

     

    If you're bringing it to Hershey - post the photo here and where you will be so I can take a look :) Thanks!

    Annie, looking forward to seeing you, Joel and the "Burb."  Hope you  get an opportunity to take pictures. Always enjoying seeing the pictures you post from the meets that you attend.

     

    Thanks!  Us too - And Joel took the day off from work, so he'll be there taking photos for us while I'm judging :)

    I have attended the Charlotte event many times but this will be my first time bringing a car for AACA judging. The weather forecast is not great and I was wondering if they will attempt to judge the cars if there is no break in the rain. 

     

    Thanks

     

    Judging will start at 11am regardless of the weather :)

    Annie, I didn't want to miss the chance to thank y9ou for the work you also contributed to the judging at Mobile.  I had the pleasure of sitting with you and Mike Peterson during the breakfast and you really made a great contribution.  I'm sorry we'll miss you in Charlotte this time.

    :) Thanks Terry!  It was truly my pleasure to help out!  I was honored to be asked to be the assistant and I learned so much from Stan and Mike.  I couldn't have asked for better mentors in this amazing club . 

     

    I too am sad to be missing Charlotte next weekend, but we've committed to raising funds for St Baldrick's for the 10th year in a row and next Saturday is a big occasion for Joel to shave his head in solidarity of children fighting cancer.  We hope there will be a time when we won't need to do any fundraising, but we've committed.  (I just hope next year our event is a different day then the Charlotte meet.) :)

    I’m a few years older then you Annie and only involved because of my father. I kind of enjoy the older grumpies because I find if you give them the respect they earned, they typically are softies inside. Sounds like you find about the same thing. 

     

    As a women selling my father’s collection, I have found a few people trying to take advantage of my situation. I’m too stubborn to let them. Most have been extremely helpful. The old grumpies never were anything but helpful and kind to me. They remind me of my father also. 

    I'm on the opposite end where my father couldn't even change the oil and although liked cars, knew nothing about them.  Sadly he sold the 1969 Chevelle and the Mach 1 Mustang cause he was bored :(

     

    I'm sorry you have to let his things go, but I guess they are his things and will help keep him comfortable :) I wish you all the best in the sales :)

    Great post and well written!  I'm 46 and a woman and have vented about this topic for some time!  I was at the AACA National meet in Mobile this past weekend and while at the Rountable discussions, I commented on how I was treated at the Virginia Beach National meet 3 years ago and it wasn't well treatment I received!  Another woman commented that my 1989 Suburban was "just another used car".  My response... they are ALL used cars!  Of Course, she didn't like that comment, but it made me so angry that I wrote a letter to the editor of the AACA Magazine, West Peterson, about the treatment of new members and what vehicles they enjoy.  If this car hobby is to grow, everyone has to be welcomed, whether they own a vehicle or not, or if it's a Toyota or a truck!

     

    As for grumpy old people, I meet them all the time when I'm on a judging team usually.... usually they warm up to me and we are all good friends at the end of the day :)  Give them a chance too ;-)
