Please don't make me re-live the show with that STUPID WALLY GATOR theme ALL DAY LONG! Real nice ride ... I could live without the music!

Mark, we talked about just this subject at the picnic ... show up at a major ALL VEHICLE event ... like Merchantville (for example) ... meet the club at the meeting spot ... we ALL drive in as a CLUB ... we all park together ... and watch the people flock to the VW's. It's wild! Doesn't matter if your car doesn't have perfect paint, completely finished or on a trailer. What matters is having a good time and being out with YOUR PEOPLE ... SJVWC. If you win a trophy ... bonus ... but in this guy's opinion that's not why I show up. It's about my PEOPLE/the club.

Your preaching to the choir here. I am in total agreement. It is the SJVW club people that are important. Trophy’s, don’t need them or want them kickButt  For now on at any event I go to I’m gonna split come judging time & I’ll be long gone when they hand out awards burnrubber I plan to enjoy the cars & people, completion is not my thing   :icon_puke_l:           The unpleasant experiences with Crusin Classic’s & Wicked Rides clubs have served to show me how not to have a good time at an event @3# Lesson learned  f+t sjvwcrocks  rant

Wasn't that a post somewhere on here about how to have a good time at a car show?!
I think one of the main things was to not expect to win. I thing another thing on the list was leave the wife/girlfriend at home. LOL.

Maybe I'll find it and bring it up again.

I've always said just look at your car as a "big fat ticket", its a chance to get behind the ropes and see what the "car culture" is about from the inside. If you take the opportunity to see some amazing vehicles & talk with their owners as an "insider" you will enjoy the experience much more. Trophies are nice ( yea I've got a bunch ) but if thats the only reason to be there then you should take up a new hobby, stained glass or knitting! You are missing the point ! winning is nice but its just "icing on the cake" if you are having a good time then thats enough.

hey enough ,
                   Enough is enough, i have had vw's since the age of 13, i love vw's and always will, but i also own at the present time two chevelles a 68 and a #'s matching 72 ss " needs resto" and have owned quite a number of chevelles over the years, and i also love rx-7's i have owned a few also and toyotas well i guess i can say i am car crazy. and you will never find me talking bad about vw's even though i am a true muscle car guy cause i just love the darn things.
         so you really cant say chevy guys are the worst cause i have a few freinds with muscle cars and they too like the beetles and havae had them in the past. i must say one thing the guys  i am talking about are also of puerto rican descent so that being said i guess its a puerto rican thing ha.

Yeah Frank,but the puerto rican car owners that I have met also have more respect for their cars as well as other cars than most of the white trash, mullet wearing, muscle heads that we see out there.
We better end this Frank before Uncle Jack steps in and tells us to calm down.

Deep breath ... now exhale ...
It just seems that the respect is very one way. I got to show and LOVE to see other people's rides and what they have done, over did or haven't done. It's all good if you ask me. Unforchantly ... some of the "others" don't see our VW's in the same light.
