Default Re: Does Wayne Carini Like Model A's?

As for rowdy, obnoxious, and unsafe behavior, the San Antonio Cars & Coffee (2nd Saturday of the month in the parking lot at Six Flags - Fiesta Texas) now draws upwards of 300 displayed vehicles and well over 1,000 spectators. The San Antonio Police Department and Six Flags’s private security guards are out in force. No burnouts, no drag racing out of the exit, and spectators are not allowed to gather on the grass shoulders and medians outside the park to video the vehicles entering or leaving.
There is still a contingent who love to rev and pop, (they seem to provoke each other like a contest) and a few lifted truck bros with train horns. Noisy but not dangerous.
Oh, and when I bring the Wretched Roadster, people walk right past the 99th Ferrari / Lamborghini / Aston Martin / Hellcat and cluster around her. Instead of “Look but don’t touch” I encourage people to get in, get their kids in, blow the awooga horn and take pictures. Some nimble youngsters even try out the rumble seat. And after more than a year of attending I have only seen maybe two other A’s or similar era cars. Generally the oldest are 1940 era, and very few of them.
