Donna and I will probably be there with the Beast and Blazer.
There may be some other folks with their vehicles as well that told me about this event while at Paine Field this past weekend.
We may have to leave a little early to attend a benefit auction in Fife for a friend injured in an auto collision.

Scott,

Talked to about a dozen hot rod people in the last three weeks, all of which had issues with local MV Collectors crashing their shows and none had anything good to say about the invaders. If you want to play army truck so bad why don't you enlist? The MVPA shows are for just this sort of thing, as well as the little get togethers. Car shows are for the cars. Reserves are paying good money for people with your enthusiasm.

Attitudes like this are exactly why I've never accepted invitations to bring my Mil vehicles to car and truck shows. I have little patience with folks that have their noses so far in the air that would drown if it rained.
As for "Playing Army truck" it can be seen by my Avatar that I've been doing It most of my Adult life. Photo was taken in Germany in 1977.
What have you done for your country, hmmmmm?

Scott,

Is the 11th still a go? I'll be there if it is.
As far as what Ronin said, allow me to add my two cents,
The folks who whine and bitch about MV's at these events are usually the same ones who whine and bitch about that otherwise perfect 69 mustang that happens to have the wrong screw holding the ashtray bracket and how dare they bring such an affront to their delicate sensibilities to a car show, in other words, don't let a few anal retentive douche bags dampen your enthusiasm.
The folks that love to see the MV's usually outnumber the ones that don't.

And Ronin, before you make "suggestions" to other members perhaps you should get to know them first. I know Scott would be the first to sign up if he were able to, he's a helluva young man and one of the most enthusiastic supporters of our hobby I have ever met.

Well said, and agreed.

Hold on guys. I frequent both MV displays and Hotrod shows. Check my signature, I love both. I have taken my 5 Ton to a couple of cruise inns’ here in Portland and people loved it. But I would not take it to a concourse display. Same as I would not take my street rod to a MV show. That is not what it's for. If someone wants to restore their car to perfection and use the correct screw in the ashtray bracket, then so be it! Let them have their shows. Nobody says you have to go.

Live and let live.

[wsucougarx]

At this time, it looks like I'm in!! I'm going to try and get my insurance docs turned into my agent tomorrow. May be enough time to debut the shop truck
