Because a lot of us are (or were) in SE and that didn't do too well. You can read all about it on this thread, probably about 5-6 pages back.

I'm with you 100%! Maybe we could try to put something together this fall before it gets too cold.

Brian,

I would love to do that again, but I'm going to a wedding in D.C. this weekend and will be on the road then.
By the way my boy and I were talking about building a Rat Rod. I found were you can get a fiberglass body and chassis pretty cheap. We were thinking about painting it just like an original 32 ford coupe then weather it to make it look 80 years old. What kind of late model engine would you put in it. Remember it will be for a kid so don't say 350 small block. I'm thinking 4 cylinders. It will be a daily driver (with style).

It is worth your while to go. I went with Brian and Amanda one weekend. We had 4 Scions (small turn out but fun), my xB was parked next to a '29 Dusenburg all the blue hairs were stopping to see it while all the kids were stopping to see our cars. They must have had like 300 cars there when we went.

Yeah, I'll go! I love the Wexford cruise. Then Saturday morning I'll be driving down to where you came from also for the MD Exposed Event. Me/Ryan (my fiance) and another Scion couple are splitting a hotel room.

Were going to Fairfax for Friday and Saturday. Then Sunday I was going to show the kids Quantico coming home Sunday night. I lived there for almost 4 years in the late '80's and yes I know that makes me old.
