Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / August 2005Survey Says
How many people aren't attending the meet in Spokane? Of those not attending, how many are boycotting the SDC because of policies and over museum issues? Bo (Just curious) I'm not going because I live in SC and the meet is in WA. I wonder if there will be any first place GT Hawks there? Lee > How many people aren't attending the meet in Spokane? > > Of those not attending, how many are boycotting the SDC because of > policies and over museum issues? > > Bo (Just curious) > I wonder if there will be any first place GT Hawks there? Most likely. Question is, will they be judged accordingly?  SignatureDave Lester Dave's Place Home of the Internationally Renowned Studebakers, 'Sheba and Goliath See pictures at www.davesplaceinc.com I'll be driving my '64 GT to Spokane (400 miles or so) but it will be displayed only. Don't need the grief of judging. >> I wonder if there will be any first place GT Hawks there? > > Most likely.

SignatureDave Lester Dave's Place Home of the Internationally Renowned Studebakers, 'Sheba and Goliath See pictures at www.davesplaceinc.com Not going, but just because it's about as far away as is possible. >>How many people aren't attending the meet in Spokane? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Nope, just can't go, or I'd be there like hair on a dog!

Saving up now Cheers Bob Miles Tucson AZ Too far for me, not a museum issue > Not going... Distance issue.. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >> >>Bo (Just curious) Only reason I'm not going is because it's WAY on the wrong end of the country, about the only way they could have made it further away and still in the US and drivable would be to hold it in Alaska. But think of the great caravan we could have on the Alaska Highway!

The museum and it's issues is between the museum , the city and SDC Inter. same question could be asked of other issues within SDC.... not fair or relevant. I am involved in many groups, Most are archery and hunting related. Take it from me, the easiest way to destroy a hobby or a group is from strife within........ Stop and think just a moment....... I don't post here often but I read this group every day. I just read where a fender(NOS) for a barracuda sold for 3200-4000 dollars, I can still get all four fenders for a C/K for the price of one fender for a Mopar vehicle. I see on ebay where vehicles are bid up to an actual value hoping a "novice" will drive the price above "fair market value". thus we all can benifit from those high sales dollars. Someone needs to decide are Studes(and all classic/antiques) a business or a hobby? When the price exceeds the common guys ability to pay, it is a game for only the "elite" to play in. Then the market crashes, you want an example........ Corvairs, Mustangs, Hudsons T -birds.... People have worked long and diligent for a Museum to be proud of.......... I'll support the HONEST effort. Now i'll go back and hide...... I hate soap boxes. Well, I'm going, and will hit the road in the morning to arrive in the late afternoon. Nice to have it so close for a change! I hadn't heard of any movement to boycott SDC or national meets over policy issues. If there is any such movement, it's right off the radar screen around here. Gord Richmond > I hadn't heard of any movement to boycott SDC or national meets over > policy issues. If there is any such movement, it's right off the radar > screen around here. Here, too. Some radars have very narrow scopes. I have learned that recently. SignatureDave Lester Dave's Place Home of the Internationally Renowned Studebakers, 'Sheba and Goliath See pictures at www.davesplaceinc.com Why ? Did the weather man not see the rainstorm coming your way?? <G> snip > Here, too. > > Some radars have very narrow scopes. > > I have learned that recently. > Why ? Did the weather man not see the rainstorm coming your way?? > <G> Thought you'd never ask! <G> I have been "caught shot," twice this week. I hate it when that happens! I have learned that no matter what resources you have available to you, Mother Nature has a mind of her own, and her own agenda. (She is not alone in this regard,) Some things, you just have to wait until they happen to know about them. Other things are on some radar screens, but are of no real consequence, whatsoever. We're getting a spinkle of rain right now, confirmed by my wet T-shirt. (I just stepped outside.) This made me check the radar images before going to bed. Looks like we are in for a lot of rain, (maybe) but nothing severe. (Maybe.) If I'm lucky, I can confirm the rain in the morning. If I'm not totally lucky, I'll be awakened by a flash of lightening, a clap of thunder, or the sound of my trees being torn apart by high winds. If I'm half lucky, I'll be awakened by a phone call from dispatch telling me all hell is about to break loose. At this time, it appears that any storm in the area just can't cover the distance, as oppossed to being pissed off about something other than it's abilty, as compared to desire, to strike the area. (Make the meet.) SignatureDave Lester Dave's Place Home of the Internationally Renowned Studebakers, 'Sheba and Goliath See pictures at www.davesplaceinc.com Them radars are a wonder sometimes. I've seen it pour down rain here at home and nothing is showing on the TV stations radars. Next time the radar will show all kinds of rain and not have a drop falling. Tonight the rain is splitting and going north and south of my house. Maybe next time. >>Why ?

(Make the meet.) my hubby is not going only because his ride had to cancel due to a death in the rides family. But with the cost of gas and in an RV I am kinda glad they cancelled. We definitely plan on being in Omaha, considering it is just a hop, skip and a jump away. > > Why ?

(Make the meet.) Speaking of scopes.... I went outside to remove a varmint with my trusty .22 and went to dispatch the critter and couldn't see a thing. Nice air conditioned lenses didn't take too well to 92 degrees and 95% humidity. Totally fogged over.. T'was his lucky day... Jeff "Dave's Place" wrote.. > Here, too. > Some radars have very narrow scopes. > I have learned that recently. I'm not going because this rental unit silliness I've been going through for the past few months has hit me for several thousand bucks and I finally bnit the bullet. I also owe about $3K to my partner, which I will be paying this week. I just sent a bunch on the UK tour with the Studebaker club there and so on. It was worth every GBP! I am quite happy with SDC, which is quite a change from how I've felt in the past, as you well know. Things ain't 100% perfect, but neither am I. I'll miss seeing those who will be there, but I will be able to attend Reno ZM next month - in a city I love. I assume that all who have a complaint have passed it on, in detail, to their representative on the B/D.

Now, dare I ask about the bad politics and the museum? I must be out of the loop on that one. (?¿?)

Watch for the red Lark VI. I'm getting excited for Omaha, but if gas is going to be $3.00+ per gallon, I'm going to be less and less excited. Lee (1186 miles each way) > Spokane is too far from Ohio.
