Friday night I attended an event that ran very late.
I didn't get home until 4am, but decided I would do this Hershey thing. I set my alarm for 7:30am, figuring that was the minimum sleep I'd need to function for the next day.
I didn't want to miss seeing some decent cars in the corral.
3.5 hours later, I awoke, and didn't even bother with a shower. It didn't feel like a new day, but an extension of one long adventure that started Friday night.
I spent many hours in the car and enjoyed the solitary time. I caught up on some podcasts or just enjoyed the silence.
The weather was very nice. Sunny in the low 60s. This event would suck in the rain or cold.
I first when to the the corral. The vibe was that of a tourist museum rather than people wheeling and dealing.
If fact, I really didn't see anyone who appeared to be a serious buyer in negotiation. Instead, it seemed like a bunch of tourists saying "Neato!"
I took this picture just for Silber, b/c I know he'll troll this thread, and insist I am making all this up.
There were a lot of early 70s cars.
This one was asking $140,000!
Figured you guys would like this one!
Fair condition car asking $18k (listed on Ebay)
I then went and got food to eat, as planned.
I checked out the concours section next.
There were hardly any 3.2s.
There were a ton of those bulbous 928 Risky Business cars.
Lots of modern cars that just looked like a dealership parking lot.
Last, I headed to the swap meet portion. This one made no sense to me. I actually felt bad for these vendors. The parts for sale seemed so random and unlikely to ever find a buyer. I assume most of this stuff gets carted home. That's an expensive trip with a lot of overhead. A swap meet format made sense prior to the internet, but I would never try to sell things at a swap meet in 2014. List your entire inventory online! If someone wants it, they'll find you.
There really wasn't much to do after doing a loop or two.
As I predicted, I spent about an hour at the event.
The real fun started after I left....
