Not the Diner

Sun Fun and They Finally Got Good Weather


The 3rd Annual Show over at Moody's was to say the least well attended and very enjoyable. Vendors and All were on point and the Dempsey Center  as a charity were more than enough to make it a great day.


A little drama involving a suspected stacking of the ballots for People's Choice seemed to be a non factor except for possibly the Rev. Catcrate who did not get the award. Awww.


All in all an 8 on a 10 scale.

Jim Lamb

Spread da word through out da land we gon do something for big Jim Lamb.
Yep I do Ebonics


Here is what I know. Jim Lamb, who through the years has garnered much adoration for his fine collection of petrol related materials, his firm handshake and just being a real good guy but the Big C has him in its grip and he is in need of a little... no ALOT of cheering up. We are trying to surprise him with a few people of good cheer this Wednesday the 20th of May. We will gather up at Betsy's Corner Store ( Yes I Know it's a Big Apple but it will always be Betsy's Corner Store ) at 5:15 and travel the very short distance to Jim's little chunk of heaven.


Just bring yourself and your car.

Downsized and Bigger

So this is the last we will beat upon the publisher of the Cruise Me. Magazine. They in their infinite wisdom have slapped their respective advertisers in the face by making their rag smaller by at least an inch in height and width. They have also made the print (font) smaller in every aspect and for someone who does wear bi-focals it is hard to read. For those that paid for their event to be published my condolences because you just had unprotected sex and hopefully don't get an std. Those that work at the publishers establishment also get my condolences for being the target of the upcoming firestorm that will inevitably eat you alive. My last statement is this. Fuck 'em, I'm am so done with that.


Now on the upside is the first Show of the season. With a chilly start to the festivities it broke into a great day with well over the usual count and away we went. Crowded, yes as always. Fun, yes per usual. Drama, well it wouldn't be a car show without it now would it. Gratz to all the winners and thank the gods that we are not up to our asses in snow.

LD 602

Gasoline Not Approved

Legislation (L.D. 602) to amend the law regarding ethanol blended gasoline to provide that a sales and distribution prohibition would take effect if only 3 other states had enacted similar laws was not approved by the Joint Environment and Natural Resources Committee. Under current Maine law, 10 other states or a number of states with a collective population of 30,000,000 must enact a similar prohibition before the Maine law goes into effect.

Thank you to those that participated in supporting this bill.

Something Wicked This Way Comes

It comes with all the anxiety of an illness deemed incurable. It weighs upon you like cement blocks around your feet. It brings with it a pestilence like a plague from the Bible and the drama of a dime store novel.


The Car Show season is coming at us hard and fast. It travels at speeds that seem to take a lifetime but deceivingly will get here before you are ready. That last minute detail will be forgotten or not be to your liking. You couldn't get the Wax you wanted or you found a new flaw that will ruin your perceived chance at that all powerful $25.00 Cheap Ass Trophy.


Some will wonder why they do this year after year knowing that friends could be lost and feelings could be forever hurt. Ego's will be puffed up to an extreme or cast asunder like a fallen soul, all for sake of a plastic tube, faux marble and stick on brass plaque.


Yet we are smiling. We are glad that this thing called a Car Show is rushing toward us like an oncoming freight train. We are pleased with our efforts of polishing all our winters worth of misery away only to live through that drama we all know like that step child we loathe.


So get ready. It is upon us and it does not care who or how many it envelopes it's folds of drama, ecstasy and torment it is here until at least  September if not longer.


Welcome to the Car Show Season 2015
