Ain’t no…..
Car show when it rains… I hope you read that aided by the smooth silky vocals of Bill Withers….it does lessen the blow and you’re welcome for the earworm 😉. Well, I guess that means we are sleeping in on Saturday. That’s right we are rained out the first week of Junuary in the PNW. For us locals we are not surprised and really hope this takes care of that annoying cotton. Us allergy sufferers demand some form of reparation for the torture these green giants put us through. It’s not all bad news, it should give y’all more time to prepare for next Saturday. That’s right! Get that neon washed, get those huaraches, and pastels ready…Retro Day is next week June 13th! Growing up in the 70’s/80’ as most of us did, with the exception of Terry and Vic, I think they call it the Jurassic era? We are like, totally excited to like, hang out and like, totally look at awesome cars! Save the date Saturday June 13th and come out to see center court full of cars GenX wishes they still had and all the neon you could possibly handle, with the eternal caveat of…weather permitting.
We greatly appreciate all you amazing people for braving some cooler temps and drops of water coming out to our show last weekend thank you! I would like to address something really quick for those of you that are budding entrepreneurs or see our show and it’s amazing group of people as an opportunity to hock whatever you are selling, it’s not, it is our show. While we might be in a “public area” we are on private property and we are the stewards while our show is on. This means if you are soliciting, like dropping your cards or flyers on the cars, we remove them and then politely ask you to stop. This rule, or ideal, is also why we ask to have for sale signs removed when on display so we don’t become the next Carmax, and quite frankly they take away from the look of the car.
While we can be bizarre this is not a “bazaar” to demonstrate your services or wares unless we invite you and let our guests know about it. Trust me we can find you don’t find us. We will deploy our photographer Jason to stake you out. All you will hear is the silent whisper of a one wheel, the quick click of a shudder, and then Jason sends it to our lair…did I say lair? I meant headquarters, deep in Mt Rainer where we have the technology to find you. We can’t find the remote, but we will find you if we want. Please respect our guests and our show by not making this faux pas. My French teacher would be proud, I didn’t need to Google it to spell it. The short version don’t do it, don’t ask, it will be a resounding “no”.
We hope everyone has a great rainy-day activity planned and we want to congratulate all you grads out there progressing to the next step. Congratulations to you all and welcome to the biggest rip off in the world…being an adult. With all those guests in town get them to stay until next Saturday so they can experience the most exciting weekly gathering of exotics in the PNW!
