I believe I bought the carpet for my pickup from Auto Custom Carpet also.

Great opening post! I was a member of National for 2 years before I joined my local chapter. My original thought was, I'm in the AACA, I can go to any of the shows, I can help any chapter, I don't need to be committed to just one chapter. But in January, I joined a chapter and I have to say, I have had the best time! I can still go to all of the shows, I can still help out at other Chapter meets, but I feel that I am more involved and making a bit more of a difference locally. I am slightly older then you... ok, more then 10 years older then you, but still young enough to enjoy this hobby immensely!!! And I feel that more people our age need to promote and enjoy our vehicles - whether they are stock or modified - and keep this hobby going strong into the next millennium! As for having to write a check, I think I am of the last of those people who enjoy getting cards in the mail or anything else that has hand writing on it, so writing a check is no big deal. And including a return envelope ensures I get mail that isn't a bill!!! Like someone else says, there will be always be an excuse to do or not do something. It just depends on what interests you enough to take the time to go for it and enjoy it.

How many vehicles are registered for this weekend?

Since this thread has gone into another direction I'll chime in briefly on the "custom vs stock" discussion . Ive had a custom truck for 22 years. Ive have my stock Burb for 4 years. I love both sides of the coin and enjoy attending shows with either truck. Each are different in their own way but I wouldn't have it any other way!

Thanks Matt!!!

lol I'm only a "Member" and can't change to AACA Member

Awesome - thanks Matt!

Does he need a note from me? lol

Another point to make that if you enter your judging class and the judges feel that your vehicle should be in DPC, they should/will recommend that to you. No matter what - have fun at the events!

Hello - I won't be driving up to Hershey until Friday - can I have my father in law pick my packet up for me on the show field? Or can I get it Saturday morning after Judge's breakfast? Thanks!

When I had my engine rebuilt and bored out in my 1990 454SS my engine builder recommended I use Rotella exclusively... that was 12 years ago and the truck is runing like a champ! No problems whatsoever I've not heard of the CK-4 but that doesn't mean much lol

Hi Matt! Loop forward to seeing you as well! Good luck with the move! Be careful and don't overdo it NC State is not far from my house, but we are driving up Friday afternoon, so I'll see you Saturday

Thanks Terry! Joel and I enjoyed our time too and look forward to catching up! I'm really looking forward to this show being it's in my state and in a town I've not seen! Can't wait to see where the HPOF's are parked! Safe travels and see you in a couple of weeks

To those attending - be sure to catch the Triangle Chapter's Take-A-Part T demo! There will be 2 demonstrations (If judging time permits, I'll be on both teams )

I for one voted (every day) because why not?! Took me less then 1 minute of my time. Of course it's a popularity contest but what's wrong with that? I hope there's a huge increase in participants and spectators next year in 2017. I know I'll be there

I joined the AACA in 2014 after purchasing my Suburban and wanting to show it in Hershey. We were only National members for 2 years, then decided to join a local chapter and I can't say how much I'm enjoying it!!

Wow! What a find! Enjoy every step of the ride

Mailed mine in too

Wow!!!

Wow! Not my cup of tea... but wow!

I call it hideous!!!

I didn't go to a car show, but was a driver at my company's auction here in Raleigh. Drove some great cars Fri, Sat and drove a few "home" to their storage buildings on Sun. This Beetle wasn't a "Best in Show" but I laughed the entire time I drove it through the auction line and up on stage. The first picture is at Preview Night - the 2nd is during the auction.

Wow!!! You just never know who you are going to run into when talking cars!!! Just amazing! Keep us posted on how things go

What a great tour! Thanks for sharing the photos and memories. I hope everyone had a fantastic time and made it back home safely

Thanks for the photos! It looks like such a great time!!!
