Rental Car Ruckus 2: Electric Boogaloo

[Goodspeed]

I'm probably too smitten by the rarity factor 

You couldn't even get in my local exotics meet because they're too common.

Sounds like a bunch of jerks and an event I don't want to go to.

That gave me a good laugh.  On the surface I could see how that'd come off as them being a bunch of elitist assholes, but in reading the full list I can see that they're having a laugh and can definitely see where they're coming from.

Of note: this is the well-known event Exotics at Redmond Town Center, not Cars & Coffee at Redmond Town Center.  In this light, an event dedicated to exotics/truly rare stuff should be able to police what gets shown.  Kind of like how if I make a painting at one of those group paint & wine nights, & I'm very proud of it - that doesn't mean I get to hang it in the Louvre.  In any big metro area there's a dozen general C&Cs you can visit, too.

I feel the struggle a bit because I'm getting concerned for the health of Katie's C&C here in the DC area.  It's attracting a lot of tire-squealing, overly-revving dolts in their 1 of a million cars to the event now, and I'm sorry - I get being very proud of your car, but I didn't wake up at 6am on a Saturday to head all the way to Great Falls to see a whole row of 2012 Camaro SS's with punisher skull stickers all over them.  It's okay for special events to exist, for objectively special (rare, historic, exotic) cars. 

Sidenote: I'm fixing on being in WA late this summer and may try to swing by that event.  I've always enjoyed the pics from it.
