Dissed by NCM!

[Chas]

When i visited in june they we nice enough to show me around the corporate offices...it was slow and the guy was nice to us...made us feel special in a special place...i mentioned that i had a press release kit from the grand opening...givin to the manager of motor trend magazine...and he told me that the museum was having a anniversary and would i be willing to loan it to them for display...what an honor! no problem-o , i sent it to a lady named betty and i waited to hear back....and waited and waited...now the celebration is past and i have sent e-mails and left phone messages asking for my personal things back...nothing ...no reply at all...im swiftly loosing my respect for the person or persons that have my things...is this how they would treat me if i loaned them my Corvette for display in the big yellow dome? i understand the need for loaning things for display but i havent heard from them and its a one time thing to have what i have in the pristeen condition it was in...sorry to rant, im not giving up.i want it back and i want it soon.

If they don't come through for you, Chas, I'll pull the smokiest burnout in front of their door, in June, that they've ever seen. :L

 

[Tom Bryant]

I just had a new idea for a CruiseFest activity. We'll make up signs and picket until they come up with your stuff.

Let's make that one of the events..... multi-vehicle burn-out at the front door! We need to get Rowdy1 in on this....he'll love it... after all, he's King Burn-Out!

And the picket signs sound like a good idea too. You deserve to have your property returned to you!

Good luck!

I'll just stand around with a sign.......the burnouts my S 10 does are pretty sad!!

chas,

I think we should do burnouts anyways. I'm sure that somebody will get moving to recover your stuff. If not, they will have a whole bunch of CAC members at their front door.

I'll stand with reubenmc........My Mercedes couldn't burn out to save it's life!!

Bleach........how 'bout some bleach for the burnouts???!!!!

 

[Zippy]

Sorry to hear the problem you've had with the Museum. I'm confident that Wendell will get this resolved.

I sure hope you guys are joking about doing burnouts in front of the Museum!!!

Your hurting yourselves by damaging the asphalt with burnouts. Remember the NCM is a non profit foundation, and as such, relies on contributions to keep the Museum running. The thousands of dollars ro re-surface the asphalt could be put to better use. Beech Bend Raceway is just several miles away...use that for burnouts..Thanks!

errrrrr...im pretty sure anyways!

All in fun.......unless Chas doesn't get his press kit back!!!!!!!!

 

[sweet04]

active handling off...ready to burn...:L

Folks, as Zippy pointed out, there is no need to damage the place with multiple burn-outs.

If Chas doesn't recover his press kit, the plan should be to have about fifty or sixty Corvettes (preferrably with modified exhausts) pull up as close the entrance as they can, and just start reving the engines. The resultant noise- especially if 67Heaven's is in the mix- should be more than enough to make it impossible for them to do anything inside. Attention to solve Chas' issue would be swift and sure. And no damaged asphalt.

What the burnout "threat" will do is allow NCM staff/supporters to get their shorts in a knot.......meanwhile, Chas gets the necessary attention to his problem and likely gets his property back.

Too bad NCM didn't pay attention a long time ago.

Oooooooo, our asphalt, our asphalt! :eyerole



Two lessons learned:
1) not everyone recognizes a joke
2) don't ignore the little guy whose property you have
