Auburn has a big parade . . .Anything happening on Nov 11 for Veteran's Day in the NW?
Donna and I will probably be there with the Beast and Blazer.anyone else coming to the support the troops?
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.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.
Well said, and agreed....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.
Agreed.64c30,
26yrs Army. Retired senior 18 Charlie. Love to explain it to you some day in person, not much for the internet thing. I,m sure we'll run into each other around town.

I was told be in place at 0800, with event kicking off at 0900.Not sure if I can make it, but what time are you guys mustering?
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.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?
