you guys are killing me i dont see what the problem is wagon guys complained for years that they wanted there own category so we gave it to you now you wanna complain that you have to compete against other wagons cause its a newer model I own a old legacy so I have always had to compete against other body styles that were newer since we have been doing the show and if you wanna complain about how your parts are hard to get, you are complaining to the wrong guy im in the same boat as you only difference is mine is about half the size and as far as your model analogy goes ill just leave these picks here for you

we are not braking it down by body style this year i dont know how many times i have to say it we dont get enough of each body style to keep it competitive if enough of you guys want it back that way i will take it under advisement for next year

Not complaining just asking and wondering. I hate forums because is so hard to write something out without someone reading it funny and taking it the wrong way. I was being the devils advocate and putting it out there as an argument for older models. I don't mind being with the other wagons I love wagons, I thought it just might look nicer and more organized with all the same body types together.

All good bro! It's all for the love of subbies!! Either way it's going to be a blast can't wait for Sunday.
I was just wondering just to wonder, I have no problem being with other wagons, I find parts just fine. That's what eBay Japan is for!

Please feel free to step up next year when it comes time to organize the event if you feel you have valuable insights.

Also, volunteers' and organizers' advocate is more appreciated than devil's advocate. No one gets paid to put this together for you guys.

No worries, every year we have people not involved in planning telling us how we should have done it or complaining about this or that.

I also wasn't being sarcastic about stepping up next year. We're all spread incredibly thin.

I don't know if this question was covered already((most likely has)) but I'm going to ask. My friend and I are coming early because we are apart of the show. But my friends don't want to drive up there themselves. So they want to come with us. 3 already paid. Two still need to pay. Please let me know ASAP. Thank you.

No they can not come early with the car show people as they will just be in the way I recommend they meet up with one of the other caravans and head out with them
