Although this is my first post on this forum, I have been involved in Mustangs and the Mustang community since 1993, to include numerous car shows and gatherings. Recently I decided to join the Copperstate Mustang club as they have always been involved not only in the Mustang side of things, but in helping the community as well.

Before I could join however I witnessed something that really dissapointed me and will deter me from joining. Just so everyone knows I am not trying to say anyone was right or wrong, just that it was handled the wrong way by all those involved.

I to was at the Pavillions this last Saturday when the "disagreement" took place over the flyers. Now, I don't agree with the representative from McDonalds and the way he handled it, but I also don't agree with the representation from Copperstate Mustang. To stand there and argue with someone and ask if he himself owned the parking lot, and who was he to tell them they couldn't hand out flyers was wrong, very wrong. Or to ask if your car had a Berge Ford sticker on it if you would be asked to leave. Things should have been handled much differently and in private by both parties.

Fortunately or unfortunately, if you don't agree with how things are run there and its definately not the only car show/gathering in town then don't go, I agree 100% with that. However, its their show wether we like it or not and you have to play by their rules, again wether you like it or not. I have found the best area at the Pavillions is where the Mustangs are, which is why I go.

What really turned me off though was the Copperstate Mustang club member who still approached people telling them, although I can't give you a flyer, if I leave it on the seat of the car you can just take one. And yes, I know of what I'm talking about as I'm one of the people that was approached. I'm quite sure Copperstate Mustang and any other club who organized an event would not like it if someone showed up and decided they were going to do what they want, no matter what the rules.

As this is a public forum I posted my opinion and I'm qutie sure many more will do the same. I know it wouldn't be a great loss to lose one new member to the club, but I'm quite sure this is not how the club should be represented. Any of us can pick another car show to go to, or another place to gather, however it is the club and its members who keep the sport alive and thriving.

Thank you for letting me express myself. Drive safe and keep the shiny side up.

Maybe contact the people that they're supporting with donations. I had a bad experience. I have a 96 SVT Cobra and was told to leave because more Corvets showed up than expected. I was there at 8AM and in my area. No other area was left when they asked me to move. I played deaf to their PA calls until I had seen all and then noticed the runt running the show reach inside my car and put it in neutral and jerk on the wheel, trying to strip the wheel lock. As I suggest, send the link to their people who want donations, and let them make some suggestions. I understand though he owns that section of the parking lot, tho he told me. That was my first and my last, without Copperstate or Mustangs Across America support.
