I know it's a meet not a car show but when you do VIP parking set it up like a car show and put vendors in there none the less, you're kind of blurring the line between "meet" and "car show" and as long as they do that they will get people like me and many others who think it sacked having to find the diamonds in a see of every day cars...

TST really needs to start banning people from the forum and events. Some of the comments I am reading are just so dumb I cannot even see how they are trying to justify what they have said.

Other incentives that are physical such as stickers, shirts, hats, etc etc cost money up front. It's not easy to come up with all that cash to be able to front the production costs for these things. I'm sure they would love to have more things to be able to sell or even giveaway but coming up with the money for that is tough.

I understand its a good cause. You can donate however much you want. Don't call it VIP parking and have it setup like a car show. Like the guy above me stated there are OTHER ways to use as in incentive to get people to give more.

As for people complain they car park with friends, you ride down with say 4 cars that are nice and the minivan for the kids/supplies/food how hard is it to meet up after you park with your friends bring the chairs and cooler and call it a day...? Deciding where to park cars is pretty easy it would not slow down the process much if at all (especially if they get a venue with multiple entrances or multi lane entrance) Hershey would work great for this especially. And if someone wants to fight the greeters decision they can leave, no refund. I don't know of for sure but I can't say that I think it would be too hard to get Hershey's involvement/sponsorship etc. I could be wrong but I don't know. If not I know the Reading Airport does that kind of stuff and they have a lot of room (all be it its mostly grass.) I just think there HAS to be a better way to do this.

I dont under stand how all of you cant seem to grasp that is is not a car show, and that VIP Parking is only a payed allotment to get a better parking spot. If it was a car show there be trophy's and judging and the Spectator Parking ( if it were judged ) would not be disgustingly close along with a speedy double pull in.
The 2 Chrysler Mini Vans were actually Make a Wish Guests of the show who were more then likely going to receive the majority of the money if not all of it. No one understand the amount of time it takes the 3 head guys along with all the other support staff to pull this off. I myself had well over 40 hours of time invested in this years meet, and about that much for last years meet. Better larger location boils down to money lost to rent that TsT cant give to Make a Wish. Anything larger then were it is now goes to well over $10K for the day and sometimes your have to float the bill for the locations support staff witch can be 25-50 people for 6-8 hours. Insurance is the next big cost of the meet. YES we actually have to get insurance to cover the idiots who are breaking the rules at the meet. Im not 100% sure on the cost of that but its over $500 for the day and we cant rent the park with out it. . . .

the banners and may even get more donations. Like I said it may be "meet" but it is treated and thought of by most as a car show, and maybe it should actually become one that could help. This meet/car show argument is redundant, no matter what you call it people were there to look at cars and this was not something that could easily be done this year, it was a chore to see the nice car amongst a flood to family rides. I understand cost and I know that plays a huge factor, I don't understand tax law all that much but I know a company can write off donating a vehicle, I would think they could probably write off the usual cost of rent as well if it's a charitable event (do the quote me on this it's an educated guess.) If you fins a place willing to donate their space, you save a major cost. I can't speak to how many places would do this but I have faith that there is at least one. Like I said I'm going to see if I can't get myself involved with next year's event when I get home, 4 guys running this thing is just terrible for them that's to few people things can't be managed well enough when there aren't enough people to do it to begin with. I've dealt with Hershey before when I worked for tmobile they were very pleasant to deal with, I think they may be willing to help us out. The main issue with them is we will need hardcover douche patrol because they don't play nicely with arrogant asses. Sent from my HTC Flyer P512 using Tapatalk HD |

I kinda agree and disagree. I handed 10 bux up and as dcwiker05 said earlier would parked else where for someone like the gtr. However when i am done boosting my wagon and finished my build i see no reason why someone should be able to say* hey nice saturn but it is a saturn so no vip for you* if it is built cleanly and properly i dont think the car type should matter anymore. And personnally i prefer seeing unique cars not the same show cars over and over. It may not be what you like but everyone who works hard should have the same rights to show pff there work.
