I guess we got MATS and The Flings out west. MATS was friggin cold the one year I went, sort of a letdown as the swappers must not have expected it to be so cold as there were more empty spaces than sellers. Spring Fling always ends up on the same weekend as the Long Beach Grand Prix, an event that I am in charge of for my employer (Telephone company) and have to attend, but I usually just show up late on Saturday morning as the event is already set up. Would love to see Carlisle once in my life. Too far to drive. Worst for me for car shows are the rows of new cars that re bone stock or have had cold air intakes intalled (ooh!), I guess second would be trade show vendors that have all stuff marked with a price gun, like 2 nuts in a baggie, marked $12.00. I like the guys who pack their entire garage and have a fire sale because they don't want to pack it out. I love a bargain, sometimes even when I dont need it.
