if they pull the show out of there, where could they have it that would come close to it? a weekend at the shore with almost no one but gear heads is pretty hard to beat. joe you have a big group of car friends, you guys should get together and go for the weekend next year. if you do maybe ill join you guys. im telling you it can be a good time, you just have to kind of behave. the cops arent total aholes there. in my younger irresponsible days we were there at the car show, my girl passed out drunk so i figured what the hell, im going cruising, hard to sit at the room drinking when all you hear is loud cars doing burnouts. so im out cruising around. i see a parking lot of some bad *** cars just hanging out, i decide im going to pull down the street and check them out. i did. i pull out to turn down the next main cross street and a cop pulls in and stops me head on. im thinking oh WTF. he asks what im doing. being young and a smart ***, uhh im driving around, checking out the other cool cars. then asks well where you going? uhh... back to my room when im done. well do you realize you are driving the wrong way on a one way street? oh yeah i knew that but the other street was such heavy traffic i just wanted to avoid it and get back to my room and go to bed so i turned around to turn down the street here. in reality i had no clue i was going the wrong way and i lucked out and there was 1 empty spot on the street. he told me ok be careful and go get some rest. i was young dumb and irresponsible. i was just out cruising not hotrodding around or anything like that but i shouldnt have even been driving. he could have taken me right in. you are absolutely right, the town should be greatful ther eis an event bringing in money before the beach season starts, but i guess we have to take what we can get.
