I play with a lot of cars-- Attend and judge many shows--- Belong to many old car groups.. Each one has a way of keeping track of members and letting them know when where and what they may want to participate in. Months ago, I THOUGHT I had signed up for the AACA Western tour-- OUT here we just don't have all the COOL EVENTS you have in the east. So our events are scarce and when they pop up, I would LIKE to participate if I can.. Heck I am an AACA member, contribute to the forums-- try to do my part to make the hobby enjoyable. I CLEARED my calendar so I could participate this year--- THOUGHT I was set to go-- But had no clue for SURE what car or CARS I registered.. Made contact to ask what I did and got a phone call message call reply: "ROD, you are not registered we are full and can not accommodate you." ------- OK, so I thought I was in, but guess not... Not sure how I missed that one important detail -- REGISTRATION--- So, OK-- well, I do have PLENTY of work here in the shop getting customer cars ready for OTHER events. So not much time for me to go do something with MY car/s so it is OK----- NOT-- I thought well, I am an AACA member and there are many members I would like to visit with, I'll ask if I can join ANY of the TOURS---- I don't need to be fed, don't need a room ( I live REAL close to at least one of the tour destinations) -- So I sent another message-- "Can I join a tour?" REPLY: "ROD NO YOU CAN NOT! You are not registered and you would NOT be covered by AACA insurance" ----- In other words, I am not welcome to participate with other AACA members in any part of the event. OK-- my toes were stepped on-- I screwed up thinking I was set to go.. I know that some of the events I go to don't send out any confirmation-- I pick up my packet at the door/gate, so I had NO reason to think otherwise. I really did think I was good to go-- Just not sure if I was taking Cindy's Rambler American convertible, My 53 Willys Aero, The 58 Cadillac, or the Chevelle convert, or the 64 Cad, the Trabant, Packard, Eldorado, Mustang or one of the other cars sitting here. Guess that NONE will see the road in that direction this week.
