It's a mix mine and stuff I bought from Hillar's Dad.

$40 is too much of a registration fee ?

Lets see, if I went as a spectator it's $10 at the door and I wouldn't go alone so say two buddies , that $30 and I go both days so that's $60. You are ahead $20 by registering, plus you get a shot at a crate engine each day, prizes and fun.

I hear ya Ray, but if you don't go, it costs you nothing!!!!! I've never been to it, so I can't say what it's like, but most people I spoke to last night just said $40 is too much to attend for one day!!! Think they should have a reduced fee for the 1 day people ????????

I paid $30.00 last weekend to enter a (50) car show ... Karz For Kidz ... all proceeds went to a childrens hospital. I didn't mind at all ... great way to spend a couple hours!

40 bucks to park your car at a street party, 2 days of relaxation at the waterfront with like minded folks, a t-shirt, autofest commemorative mugs and a host of other stuff in a grab bag plus the profits go to charity. whats not to like, i'm all in.

i've been going for many years now i think this will be my last one

looks like I'll be going on Saturday....anyone planning the same? going as a spectator though...

Almost all of these shows have their profits go to charities so a person should be happy to give. Remember in life it is what you give and not what you keep that is important. Red Deer had me dig deep for $90 for the day but if I would have taken advantage of the full week and the tours and 2 tickets for the banquet it was a bargain. They also had a great cause that all monies were going to. I think it is neat when you hear later that x amount of dollars was raised for a certain charity and you were a part of it.

We sold both of our Chevelles over the winter and had nothing old enough to take to the Oshawa Autofest.  We have been at every show since the beginning.  On Saturday, I will be taking a friend's 1968 California Special Mustang and on Sunday another friend's '68 SS396 Chevelle convertible.  I was also offered third friend's '69 427 Corvette.  Do I have good, trusting friends or what?    On grass, under the trees and on the shore of Lake Ontario, what's not to like.  Whether true or not, I don't know but there has been talk that this might be the last year for Autofest.  It's been a great show and it would be a shame if it ended.

looks like its going to be a really hot day-not sure if I'll go- at least a 2 hour drive there - and 2 hours back, sit in the heat all day hoping to sell a Pontiac that should have easily sold on this site

 yup-other venues will be tried-Pontiac site would be the one that you would think would work best-probably exhausted those possibliies and will move on
