Yes, sad commentary on the car and flea market shows. It's like, why go to a show and hope you'll find treasures when you can sit home and look on a computer. I like being able to find stuff that I couldn't find locally, but I miss the good flea markets at my local shows. Now it's knick-nacks, Chinese tools and very little car stuff. I haven't been to a car show in a few years because I'm always disappointed in the turnout of vendors ands. Shame on me!
