Spring Show and Go

VW Lady Bug · #1 (**permalink**) 03-31-2008, 12:13 PM

Hi all -

Well I've certainly got the fever after Blown Euroz yesterday. The next event on my calendar is the Spring Show and Go in 2 weeks in Englishtown, NJ. Sunday, April 13. $25 to show, $15 for adult spectators.

Who's showing? Who's going?

still not sure. It hasn't been warm enough to prep the car for a show....and I'm spending a lot of money in april, so I'll have to decide closer to the event.

I'll do more than say hi so long as we can get there. My car's in bad shape right now. I have been much to busy to even think about the car as far as priority right now. Than with the door hinge busting, now i need painting. Seriously, i'm in no shape to be showing.

Assuming i go i will be saying some hellos and hanging out.

You need painting? Why? Your car is like 4 years old!

I'm more than likely not coming to this one, between preparing for my trip and just a general lack of interest in the whole "scene".

When the hinge snapped it rubbed my door against the fender and it's rubbed down to the primer. So i have 2 panels that need a respray. My armrest is broken. I need a tuneup. I basically need about 2 weeks worth of elbow grease.

Lame. (that's for you and Mike)

As long as you come by and hang out, I won't be too upset

Is Steph going/showing?

FineExampl · #11 (**permalink**) 03-31-2008, 03:40 PM

I don't think either of us will be showing, but we do want to go.

Toad · #12 (**permalink**) 03-31-2008, 04:05 PM

maybe...

AppleScruff · #13 (**permalink**) 03-31-2008, 04:26 PM

i am waiting on that check from the government to fix my stupid scratches and mini-dent from some jerk's car door. but i am sure i won't get the money and get it fixed in time.

but yep, me and pants will surely go to hang! (and get some crap foodz)

GINA · #14 (**permalink**) 03-31-2008, 05:18 PM

Yay! It's been too long Steph

The Cheat · #15 (**permalink**) 03-31-2008, 05:25 PM

if i have a running car, i'll be there.

side note: my custom plates came in today...too bad i don't have a running car to place them on.

i was so looking forward to running my "ohhai" plate.

what you say doesn't count, G

In all seriousness, though, I'm very busy on the weekends nowadays. That, and I am generally disillusioned when it comes to the show scene. Same cars, same high prices, have to travel. I'd rather do all that to go to an autocross or HPDE, not to stand around for a $5.00 trophy.

Valid point about the trophy. They can't even stick a VW on the damn thing? Weak. I just like to go to spend the day with my friends and maybe a little bragging rights if it goes well.

That's not even the point. I just think the scene is stale and too full of BS. I'd rather spend my time and money elsewhere.

Some shows are getting a little "bleh" for me, but I've always liked SnG a lot. If anything they got a great swap area

And I love catching up with out of towners I don't get to see too often. And I love having an excuse to detail the car and show it off.

...ok, I just like the whole thing
