I went to the UCONN show last year, I hope it's better than that, not that I didn't enjoy the loudest Dodge Neon judging...and when they said BMW's aren't imported, park with the Camaros.

Doubt I'll go and it's right up the road. It's in Peoples Republic of Amherst. Can only fly our flag 6 days out of the year.

I'd boycott doing anything in that town. Bleeding liberals.

Edit: Too offer an alternative there is enough of us in the Greater area that we could meet any day of the week at Hooter in West Springfield or some other place that wouldn't shun their nose at us.

Should be more euro cars than at the UCONN show. And we'll have separate sections for Japanese imports, Euros, Domestics, trucks and exotics.

I'm pretty sure I saw the flag at UMass fly more than 6 times last semester, but whatevs. Regardless, the car show will have people from all over, not just Amherst.

[stegosaurus]

I fly the flag off of my antenna grommet since I can't seem to find just a mast. People around here hate it.
