I agree too.

..... I tried convincing him a big block valiant in the pavilion was a good choice. He said he would get "flamed"?? Every day......



That was a nerdy little car ....with Demon stripes..

As far as the cripple carts many were driven by FAT PEOPLE. If you can't exercise just put down the FORK & SPOON !!f

Craziest thing I saw in the parts section was the totally rusted E body convert windshield frame and cowl for $3500.00 !!

First off my wife and I appreciate the 2 staff ladies at gate 5 that were very helpful to us as my wife has asthma and we had to leave early around 130 because of the heat/humidity. We find the emergency situation and people's behavior upsetting .We hope the lady was ok! Im a retired nurse and my wife works in medicine.On days like yesterday there should be more medical staff maybe in different areas ,have air conditioning in a few of the buildings ,water stations cool water shower stationg like you had years ago,throughout the carlisle fairgrounds, it would definitely help everyone, especially since there's only one emergency cooling station and my wife said it was packed!

I saw that too, and just said wow. I bought a bunch of AMD sheet metal to save on shipping plus you get that nice show discount. I loved every second of the show as usual. You have to expect it to be brutally hot and uncomfortable there so you need to plan accordingly. I got to spend time laughing and hanging out with my usual Carlisle friends. I already can't wait for next year.

I left for home around 12:30 on Saturday, but I was able to sell about 75% of what I brought there on Thursday and Friday. I priced most of my items to move and it
worked out for me. I have to admit that Saturday was about the slowest one that I have ever seen. I remember back in the mid to late 90's when the vender area
would be packed on Saturday mornings.

On days especially like this past friday/saturday have staff that are available as guides to help the people to help keep things organized.There is a thing on face book to tell carlisle events what you thought and Ed is on this site and you can send him a message....My wife and I love free stuff and mopar didn't disappoint!We got free t shirts and stuff for signing up for the dodge thrill rides.Got a free mopar water .And Mopar Action and Chrysler Power magazines offered a great deal 3 different cool tshirts and 1 year subscriptions to their magazines for 80.00 we took it!And we ate at a great Irish pub in carlisle...
.Market Cross Pub..moparjim79 said it was great and it was!Thank you Jim!

It's what you make of it. Helped a friend buy an 01 Dodge truck, one of my nephews drove it home. I missed out on a killer rampage early Saturday morning. I was setting up our display and walked over to see it at 745, was already sold (it got here 20 min before). Spent about 2k in random parts/pieces that we needed. We had a car we ended up needing to trailer home or I would have got some other stuff. The weather had to keep some people away. The combo of the prediction of incredibly high temps/humidity with a chance of rain, isn't ideal for anyone. It was brutal on the asphalt. While I think there were more cars, walking traffic did seem down a bit. Although, I think most were just trying to find shade where they could.

It's a hell of a lift on our side to pull off Carlisle, but love it every time. Something new or cool always shows up. I love learning about certain era of cars where I lack knowledge. Loved the F body stuff this year.

About the scooters, I’ll be back on one next year (if still available). My knee got very bad walking around, had to sit 3 times till I could walk again wife and I left at 2:30 on Friday. On Saturday I could not go so we packed it in. Like one said a lot of FAT lazy people on them. Also saw a lot of banned golf carts out there too. Swearing around kids, this is an ADULT car show not a kiddy fun land, leave them home! As far as political, DONT look at the stuff, real tough today being democrats I guess. Had some good conversations with nice guys in the food court. Most all were very friendly. I wonder if the IRS would be interested in some of the ‘businesses’ on the grounds. Anyway rant over.

Gosh I guess they need to take this section off of the Carlisle Fairgrounds Advance Arrival Planner:

Things To Do: Family Fun

And add: This is no place for family or children! Old Grumpy Men Only Welcome!

Guess they'll really address the lack of amenities they SHOULD have because of weather, when some poor soul dies from heat exhaustion & have to pay a high lawsuit.
Geez: cost nothing to just have a few water sprinklers out& about the grounds.

It's likely to just get worse as more of the Gear-Heads grow older each year.
"Geriatric Chryslers At Carlisle

If someone needs a scooter that's fine. ( if you have a bad knee, you are a great candidate for one, especially with the heat.) Just don't cut me off/park in the middle of the aisle/ and generally act like rush hour in china. A few times I saw 2-3 carts cruising together like they were a small gang or something, playing follow the leader. I bet they have a space set up for just carts on the show field next year. lol. "Who needs to look at super bee's, there is a 2017 rascal mobility scooter with a set of wheelie bars that you gotta see!"

As far as those loudmouth guys swearing, if they were real men they would know better. You don't have to conduct yourself like that in front of kids and the fairer sex.

I am not a Democrat. I am not really political at all. I will state this again however, ENOUGH with all the political b.s. It was a car show, not a rally to get someone elected or cry about how your group of liars ( whichever side you are on) were treated unfairly by the other side.

((( truth )))) !!!! I'm thinking 60 % of the stuff is the junk that people took off and replaced (sheet metal) ?? that would be ok but 700 for a 73-charger deck lid with a completely rusted out lower seam ??? the same thing you're trying to replace! I never seen so many junk rear charger valances.

thought this was a buy and sell thread from the show,now its complaning,alot of us werent able to go.

Also the Buddy Martin and Herb Mcandless tent was great! They we're signing autographs and meeting fans.A really nice setup they had their cars under the tent,and giveaway cards that they signed thier autographs on!And it was nice under the tent and thanks for leaving the chairs out for people in-between the seminars!Thanks for all you guys did to bring a great collection for all to see!We'll be back!

really? then in the next breath you'll be crying that young people are no longer in to the hobby. i took my son there at 6 or 7 years old. my daughter at a year old and for years after that. kids are the future of the hobby. stop being a typical grumpy old head.

classics at carlisle have been dying a slow death for years now. all those record number of cars they always brag about aren't classics. they are modewrn muscle. nothing wrong with that but its something to know before going.
