Just viewed weather for this week.........

You have got to be kidding me! My area (Philly, PA) calling for rain from Tues. through Sat. Don't know about Hershey area for Sat., and as everyone knows this could change and be better by next weekend, but.......If this Saturday event is going to be nothing but rain and temps in the very low 60s, how many still willing to go?

I've been working very hard on my Caprice for the last 3 weeks and spent in the neighborhood of $1500 to get her ready for this. So who is dedicated enough to drive significant distance if it's going to be a rainy, chilly , gloomy day?

It rained a little in NYWF. Didnt stop us.....

Hmmm. Yeah, the weather looks a bit wet. All week from NY, to PA. Wet on the drive down, during the event, and back up.

It did rain for WFNY, but for only about 2 hours... late morning to noon. It was nice weather for the rest of the time.

Hopefully the weather forecast will improve. I'm not keen on driving 4.5 hours in the rain, then hanging out in the rain, then driving 4.5 hours home again in the rain.

Dang...looks like rain here too...like the whole trip. 1200 miles of constant rain would kinda suck in the Buick. No matter what I'm still coming though....just might be in the Outback. Lol

I bet the forecast will change! Still early in the week!

If it rains as much as they say and your coming from the north, bring a pontoon bridge to get across the Swattie (Swatara Cr). Or go to HBG and take I83S to US 322E.

Rain...rain go away little Johnny and his friends want to go out and play

Sure hope the weather forecast changes. Just exchanged a text with Tim and he says the meeting is going forward rain or shine. I'm going to go regardless of weather...I'm just going to pout and be grumpy if I have to do 16 plus hours in the rain.

I hope the rain does not deter many folks...I think this is the last weekend for the Wagon exhibit at the Museum.

When did this turn in to the corvette owners forum,.?

It's been my experience unless it's made of sh!t or sugar,..

the rain shouldn't bother it,.

Especially a big heavy station wagon,..

If folks don't show simply because of rain,.  well i think a few man cards should be revoked,..

At least I just recently installed 3 new, top of the line wiper blades. Have a new windshield too! New tires that have NEVER been on a rainy road along with new brake shoes, drums, pads and rotors. I should be good to go safely.

LET IT RAIN!!!!!

I just got back from Charlotte. Two day car show, rained the entire time, still had fun. I'll be there!

Lol....the Corvette Cub!

At least there isn't going to be any pressure to do a nice wash job the night before. Plus, the rain should help hide some flaws.

This WagonFest brought to you by....

Friday
Rain 53° / 47°
Precip: 100%

Saturday
Rain 60° / 54°
Precip: 50%

I can say with certainty that I will be there....but I can also say with certainty that I will be driving my Outback. The latest models are showing severe flooding for my whole trip back to SC Sunday from Joaquin and an Upper Low over the SouthEast. I bet it will take longer than 9hrs to get home Sun. Lol

Rolling out tomorrow after work!! Getting a jump on the trip and stopping at Gettysburg Fri since my passenger has never been and has some significant family history there.

Can't wait till Sat!!

Will be there, leaving thru. morning. Hoping weather isn't to bad.

If you come, I'll have some special SC Shine for you to take back to the hotel to dull the pain. Still owe you for the shirt...

Anyone else going to the meet with a "lesser" vehicle? My wagons ARE my daily drivers! No way I'd show up to my first wagonfest driving my wife's Rav4 !

My wagon is not my daily driver but I prob race it/beat on it a lot more than most of you do your dailys. Im still showing up in a wagon and most likely driving home in a tropical storm / hurricane. Feel free to just ignore me...cause I honestly dont care.

i have done wf twice with out a wagon. just good to meet old and new wagon friends

Could be worse. The riceboys are getting together in Ocean City, MD this weekend. They get the rain + flooding and storm surge! LOL

well that clears everything up,..

No set hotel. I think there are only a few guys staying over on Friday night. Mike P, Chris P and John P are the only ones I am aware of. I know Chris and Mike are staying up by the venue.

Thats a lotta 'P' s

If the rain is bad, we can move to an empty parking garage on City Island after we all meet up in Hershey. We can call that the storm shelter!!

SEE THE AGENDA OF EVENTS FOR DETAILS!!

nothing like waiting till last min. i was welding my ez up tent last night. i think the garage would be great after the museum so that way we could check out the wagons without getting soaked. i got a new trophy idea best water beads on a wagon

So you did a "frame off" on your EZ up. Have you finished the powder coating?

i do think part of the wagon melted during the trip. also note to self when its cold you need a heater that works.

[quote="mtrhead79"]i do think part of the wagon melted during the trip. also note to self when its cold you need a heater that works.[/quote

Only thing that probably melted were your rear tires trying to out-do the Caddy! As 3rd in line at that one traffic light in Harrisburg, looked like a personal size fog bank settled over the three of us. Although for some reason..........I was reminded of being at Atco Dragway Awesome job you two (teenagers?) !
