It's a winter wonderland up here. Looking forward to meeting more of youse guys at the 11:00 AM gathering. 70Post and I had dinner at the Brazilian Meat-O-Rama with some of the Buick guys - they are just as pathologically obsessed as we are.

I'm not going to make it unfortunately. Roads up in Wisconsin are terrible cars spinning everywhere on the freeway.

Took us over 2 hrs to get there normally 25 min. Well worth the drive in the snow. Each year the show gets bigger and they have such a great variety .

I waited until 5pm to leave from an hour away. The snow had been cleared and it was an easy drive. So many spectacular cars. I'll be posting some pics soon.

I'm in the gray shirt in the center of the pic with my wife (Michelle). Nice meeting you guys and having some cocktails as well. Bummer the weather screwed up a bunch of other people's plans.

Show was great, as always... I'm beat...

No prob, Diego. Know how that goes since we missed Stanton this year.

Eric, saw your car as well, beautiful work on it. Didn't see anyone around your car when we got over there, so I didn't get a chance to say 'hi'.

I was with Eric at this time. and coincidentally some members were judging, so Steve, Patton and Greg weren't there either.

What a show...as mentioned already it keeps getting "better" but that's sort of a bad description as last year was just as phenomenal. We were discussing judging with one of the show management folks and he stated that there were 575 cars registered and only 14 of those were from last year. This show really pulls in some unbelievable cars.

We must have been buried around/inside Eric's car when the pic was taken doing the judging so not able to make the pic meeting.

It was great seeing you all and looking forward to next year. Making sure to be there both days next year....too many great cars to see and people to talk with.

Just got home. Running on 3.5 hours of sleep. What a great show and incredible cars and even greater people. Was a little disappointing with getting the worst spot on the floor and then my isle being shut down for over 2 hours Saturday but we still had a great time. I guess someone had to park in that spot so I got to be the lucky one.

I have at least one pic I'll post of your car. I asked the Cuda guy if you were around and you weren't.

I really enjoyed meeting you guys!!

Over the next 1.5 years I may need to lean on your Olds experience, and if I get worn down I will call you Luke for a shot of adrenaline-motivation-get up and go!!!! Your car spirit is contagious!!!!

hahaha, thanks for the kind words Ryan... but I think you have plenty of motivation, bringing a car to barn finds and co-organizing a post car display!!! That's a lot of work! Looking forward to seeing your progress on the W31.
