Ridiculous car show registration fees. Rant.

Great Thread!
The ONLY way I am paying to bring my car to a show is if it's Carlisle, Mopar Nationals, etc.
I never pay for local cruises, and there are lots of them, unless it's a charity.
Last month was the annual Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. There was a car show both weekend days. DIffernet classes - American, British, German, Japs, and so on. I was going to bring my Road Runner and my Scamp until on the website for the event, they listed a $30 for each car! NO WAY.

Like Mr.FT pointed out, the guys (and gals) bringing their cars out are the reason there is a car show. No cars? No show. Spectators walk around checking out cars for free such as the grand prix, and I am supposed to pay to show my car to them? Nope.
