Since taste is a matter of personal opinion it’s hard to not create butt hurt for someone. While I don’t want to see “junk”, one man’s junk is another man’s treasure. Hard to police a huge open lot like that. I can understand your desire to go on walkabout and get to know people. I’d be willing to make a donation as 2turboZ suggested. As far as areas for other “vehicles”, I’m sure this will only grow as time goes on, hopefully not growing out of control. ---

Make it $50. (Hint: You don’t really have to charge the people you want there.) I guess I won’t take my new modded Jeep. ( Just kidding I would not take it anyway. LOL) ---

> [@Mr. New York](#): > > April is not far away at all so Cars and Coffee will be back soon, I wanted to get input from NYspeed on some proposals that have been sent in to me. Like @**[yamba6](http://www.nyspeed.com/member.php?u=3527)** mentioned for Trucks/SUVs, only allow certain model years in. If we set the cut off at say 1975, would that allow enough of the quality trucks and SUVs to attend, while still keeping out the modified Jeeps / Diesel pick ups? I’m not as well versed on this vehicles, so if there is a particular year that I should include, let me know. > > In regards to Motorcycles, I’ve talked to several other organizers along the East Coast, this is just something that the event is not intended for. While I won’t be able to expand the main area to include bikes, I have thought about a designated parking area for them so they can park together, and don’t have to worry about regular mall walkers damaging them. Would this turn into more of a headache and open the door to 716 bikers, or is this a worthwhile pursuit? > > I’ve made zero headway as far as cars go unfortunately, every time I think I’ve found a good way to thin entrants, there is a loop hole, or worthy attendee that would be excluded. While I can personally think of cars that I could stop at the entrance, I am getting fairly tired of standing there all morning not getting to actually talk with anyone. Hoping this season we may work towards self selection rather than enforcement at the gate. > > Let me know your thoughts. It seems like a dead end no matter what. You are right to say there are endless loop holes. You could say no SUVs/Trucks newer than 1975, but what happens when someone shows in the Bentayga or the new Maserati SUV like last year? It’s an imperfect science. There is no great way to do it without ruining someone’s fun policing the entrance. The entrance fee would prevent some BS from getting into the lot but then you, or someone, will have to stand there and collect anyway. So at that point you might as well just filter the cars allowed in. It’s a shame that people don’t have more common sense, and respect for the event and its intentions. Like the spray painted yellow integra with the bumper falling off parking in the show lot. That is something you will never be able to fix unfortunately. ---

You have to be the bad guy basically. It is up to you and your opinion. I would not want to even see a Maserati SUV there but my opinion means nothing, it is your show. ---

Can you ‘hire’ some like-minded volunteers to police entrances? You can work w/them but still have time to run other areas of the event and mingle. ---

I like this idea and also wouldn’t be against a small entry fee came to fruition as a viable option…but I really like the idea of reaching out for help from like minded volunteers, it would be great to give back to an event we enjoy quite a bit, in fact im happy to step up and offer.

What about a possible typed up slip that you could put under a wiper if someone comes in to the show with a car that probably shouldn’t be. Something along the lines of thanking them for coming out and supporting the event but that the car does not fit the criteria of the event and it would be preferred that they park outside. Maybe a dick move? ---

I’d be on board for 10-20$ to be in the show. God and can you please convince Orchard fresh to let us back in!!! By far my most fav meet spot ever. EDIT: Use some of the funds raised each show to support the venue, or if any of the owners have construction companies they can use some of the money to fill in the potholes at Eastern Hills. ---
