Re: Syracuse car show
We've had an annual cruise night for over 20 years in the town where I work. In the early years it was safe to hit the streets for a couple of passes the length of town, and there were some NICE vintage musclecars participating. About four years back an incredibly straight, unrestored (survivor) Super Bee was sitting at a stop light when a ricer of some sort (who cares) plowed into the back of him after a stupid front-wheel burnout. That kinda killed it for me, and the following years we've seen fewer and fewer of the kind of cars we enjoy here on this site.
I still go to the event, but I'm just a spectator now.
And then there's LaHarpe. One of the many highlights of that show was the departure from the show grounds. Although not truly "Authorized", some 'burnouts' were expected and tolerated by the local constabulary. Again, one bad apple.............
Someone jumped the curb and ended up in the front yard of a home on the main street.
Fun is fun, but it has to be monitored and kept under control. An apology won't bring someone back from the grave!
