Hey, heck no I dont mind if you jump in lol.. I will be honest, I agree that from the viewpoint of amount of show cars, vendors, and a larger swap meet Carlisle is better.. And I never said that there werent better shows... I have no doubts that there are.. It just seemed to me as if he was being overly judgemental of the Nats in particular.. now I dont know if this was because of some bad experience there, or what the reasoning was.. I was just curious what he though was better...
I have been to Carlisle for their Mopar show several times.. and I do enjoy it.. but my wife and I share this hobby together.. it has been a common piece of our relationship we have shared since we first started dating and went to our first car show together, and later when we started the 'bills buggy' project... For my dollar, I need a show like this to be appealing for both.. If I just want to comb a swap meet, or look at virtually thousands of cars all pristine with mirrors under them and all that Carlisle would be where I would go, hands down.. way more of that there.. but..Shes not into swap meets.. parts and all that are my department lol.. She walks a couple rows with me, but its not her thing... this is OUR vacation, so it needs to be something both of us love...
My original point was (at least for us) the Nats is the best all around show for the buck.. there is still a respectable swap meet, plenty of beautiful show cars, manufactuars midway so you can see the latest greatest stuff... cars constantly crusing all around the fairgrounds, and drag racing.. plenty of it, and exciting .. my wife loves the races, so this works out fantastic... then theres the super cruise in Heath.. this is where we (along with our gang of Mopar friends we hang with) like to go every year.. Maybe someday we will do a differant show.. but it has to have a variety like the Nats..
Again.. this was just my .02 lol
