I'ld bet that we all like the idea of being informed of car events in our area. That is not the question. The question is how to do it. Most guys here seem to like them put in their seat rather than have them handed to them or to have them in their goody bag. That surprises me a little, but there it is.

I had 9 flyers this past weekend. Being near the car, I had most just hand them to me. But, there were a few that ended up in the seat.

I just went through the goody bag and there were no flyers there. BUT! One restaurant had a coupon for a free drink with meal purchase and another had a free order of fries with a meal purchase. They have a better shot at my business than the one that put the flyer in my seat. I feel it's just a better way to ask for my support.

Better than someone dropping a Snickers bar on your drivers seat on a 90 degree day.

We were at a car show one time where someone was putting bright pink flyers under the cars with windshield wipers. and on the seats of cars without wipers. Around 1:30, it started to rain. The pink from the flyers started washing off the paper and ran onto the glass and down the cowl, hood or fenders or out onto the seats. One guy had white seats in a roadster, no wipers. I don't know how he got those seats to be white again. Those flyers were not very popular!

I've attended a few shows because of the flyers left on my seat. Doesn't bother me much, buy then I don't have a trophy winning ride.

Doesn't matter if it's a trophy winner or rat rod or a daily driver pickup truck would you throw something into someone else's car, truck or vehicle? I think some that say it's okay would also be the first to pile on if the OP would have said he caught Galen moving a "piece of paper" they had covering their VIN to write it down. I remember threads on this and some would have hung Galen had he reached into their car for any reason. NOT HIS CAR was the cry and NO ONE has the right to do or touch another person's ride. Flyers are one person's spam and another person's trash so ASK if the person owning the car wants spam, trash or yeah I'd like to have one of your flyers.

Since most car shows are in the warmer months, rolled up windows create an oven. And then they might just shove the flyer under your wiper blades. Better the show producers ban the activity, same as spam in your e-mail box.


what the hell do i care? I'm not sitting in the car during the show. all the hate, maybe you should just stay home. that would fix the problem also.

dropping a flyer in a car is much different then some clown touching and moving things in your car.

Maybe a new universal rule for car shows would be that everyone who hates flyers in their car must have a mailbox mounted on it just for flyers. work

When my parents started and ran the mopar club that was my brother and myself job when we went to shows. We would hand them out and honestly got to know alot of people. We only put them in ones with windows down. Lots of times the owners would be there and we would hand them to them personally. Lots of times we would see the same people and usually tell them we put one in the show the week before at another town. People looked shocked we remembered the car. I miss those days.

The bigger shows here usually have a person at the entry that people stop and talk to in order to get directions on where to park depending on what type of vehicle they have or where the remaining open parking areas are at. It would be easy if the people handing out the flyers were at the entrance spot and gave them to people as they came in. Take the flyer(s) and put it under the seat or in the trunk once you get parked.

Thanks for asking the question because once I think about it, it bothers me a lot less...

I am mildly annoyed by flyers and I don't prefer they be handed to me, so I tolerate them landing on my driver's seat. .. after all, where else would I want them? Not on the hood or under the wiper or tires..

It's just a piece of paper and sometimes they are interesting.

So no big deal.

I used to pass flyers for car shows and swap meets wherever I went. If someone was attending a car, I handed them a flyer. If no one was there I dropped a flyer on the seat if a window was open. I never stuck one on a windshield. As for myself, I lived for flyers for future events. In fact, I kept a large stack from previous years. If I had nothing scheduled for a weekend, I would go through my stack of old flyers and make a few phone calls until I found something going on.

Of course, that was all before information became so easy to find on the internet.

I honestly envy those that have so little to be stressed about in their lives that a piece of paper placed in their car, at a car show, can cause that much grief.
