I would like to register my complete agreement with frank4cars’ post.
I arrived at Ford PAG at 6:45 this morning in my 1966 Alfa, waited in line to get in, and got one of the last few spaces. When I got there, it looked like a Honda dealer’s lot! All you people who own new cars – I don’t want to hurt your feelings, and I think it’s great that you are auto enthusiasts – but no one is interested in seeing row after row of cars that can be viewed everyday in any Ralphs parking lot in OC.
tbtak: I respect your opinion, and agree that what makes C&C great is that there isn’t someone at the gate who decides who should and who shouldn’t get in. However, any self-regulated system will only function as long as its participants display some common sense.
