Are you coming to Vettes on the Avenues on Saturday, Oct 16th in Downtown Melbourne?

I will be DJ'ing, so if your there stop by and say Hi!

Steve

We, my wife and I, might stop by, but not to participate.

A few of us in the CKCC membership attended a cruise-in a couple of years ago, in Melbourne, and it seems some Melbourne club Vette owners wanted to know "what are they doing here"!!?? Ever since that day, some of us will not support any Corvette activites in and around Melbourne. Just my 2 cents.

But that does not mean we can't show up and just say hi which we'll try and do!

I do understand your decision and respect your position about clubs.

It was unfortunate that a few from one club ruined it for others from another Corvette club. I had to mention what happened to us in Melbourne a couple of years ago as it flowed directly from the question from another member here if I was going to paticipate in the Melbourne show. It was the only way I could answer why I was not participating, AND, it was first and foremost, an honest answer.

I understand Jack.
I'm sorry that happened to you. There's no call for it.

And FWIW- I know you're honest
Nothing wrong with that!

We had something similar happen a few years back a local car show. The owner/host made an off color remark to/about the newer vette owners.
Pissed everyone off to no end and a lot quit attending.

He now has a very small show in a llittle parking lot down the road.

It has been the petty bickering and politics that's caused me to stay away from most clubs and organizations (both in and out of the vette world).

While I enjoy the comaraderie, the politics and attitudes made me feel like I was back at work

The same holds true for the websites.
I quit being a supporting member for the big commercial sites for much the same reasons.

I need to re-up my $$ here because I'm comfortable here, and most of the 'tudes and politics don't exist.

My trus hope is for everyones sake, and the sake of the hobby, that one day we all learn how to grow up and be big boys and girls, and quit snobbing the "others."
