Why Bob doesn't try to turn FLAcarshows.com into Mike Kelly's cruise news.
Why write this? I have more than one reason.

My most recent rejection slip for a car story.......a story is what I thought I saw them
asking for........... partially said this:
" I have envisioned editorials about the overall show, generally, such as “great show”, “lots of cars” “excellent venue", "featured cars and their owners" etc, plus photos of the cars. More like an article for a magazine..However I can appreciate the word you spread about the car scene."

If only I had known it would be so easy to avoid rejection.....All I have to do is copy any Mike Kelly's Cruise News car story, insert the buzz words , then substitute specs of a car and send photos. Gotta remember the buzz words though.
------------------------------
Why NOT make any magazine look like every other one?

Reason #1:
Because today Car and Driver magazine looks just like Motor Trend.
During the Brock Yates editor, era of Car and Driver there were a variety of articles
that somehow were related to the car scene. During the D. Randy Riggs editor, era of Vintage Motorsports there were a variety of articles also.

Today Car and Driver magazine is the same "road test" magazine as Motor Trend. I can count on the annual road test of Porsche vs Corvette, and I can tell you in advance that Corvette always wins.......and once I learned that? I have no reason to read either magazine any more. And I quit reading them...... before both of them became Consumer Reports where the value of a car is determined by price per pound.......
------------------------------

So now we get to the letters to the editor, which used to be varying and entertaining as well as
comments, criticisms, etc......and witty retorts from the editors, but when the letters to the editor say:
"The car scene isn't like it used to be" then we are all doomed.......

WAIT A MINUTE!
People say that now and have said that for the most recent 20 years......
which tells me that the car SCENE is constantly changing.

But the question remains.......Will the PUBLICATIONS continue with "We've always done it that way"? .......until people quit reading? Or will the rebels among us step out and dare to be different?

All progress is because of the rebels in society.
If you don't believe that Ben Franklin, (a writer of Poor Richards Almanac)
was a bit of a rebel himself.......against the trend, flying a kite in a lightning storm, If you don't believe that Ben was a rebel, then in 2022, unplug your big screen TV and go stick your finger in the outlet.......lol......
--------------------------------------------
Or go to FLAcarshows.com, and read Tara's Monthly newsletter where she talks
about:
"When May arrived I knew I was in the clear and the weekends started filling up with shows. I would get a stack of flyers in my car announcing upcoming shows. Then organize them by dates and decide on Friday where I was going for that weekend. My biggest decision of the week. Life was simpler then."
--------------------------------------
Tara, you rebel!
Keystone Motor Club does exactly that, and Life is still simple for us!
We listen to our music, we show our cars, we tell our tales,
and for a brief moment in time we don't get any older!

That is why people continue to have a good time, and why we continue to grow.
Welcome to the Keystone Zone!..........you rebel, you....

that was famously driven by the "First lady of firsts," Ms. Betty Skelton on the beaches of Daytona. On display in the dealership next to a giant Christmas Tree was the 1956 Corvette driven wearing its original NASCAR livery.

The achievements in any one of Betty's Skelton's passions—flying, driving, and even automotive advertising—easily qualify her as a trailblazer. Put them all together and there are few who compare in terms of breaking down gender barriers in her time. Known as The First Lady of Firsts, Betty Skelton racked up an astounding number of achievements, including several land speed

records. To share Betty Skelton's story with a larger audience, FS1 will broadcast the one-hour documentary "Boundless: Betty Skelton" presented by NASCAR Race Hub on March 23 and re-air on April 9. In our Lap 15 edition of our Women Shifting Gears Driven by Hemmings virtual and from the FOX Sports studio in Charlotte, host Amanda Busick sat down with the documentary

executive producers Pam Miller, Cindy Sisson and Lindsey Mandia as they shared the inspiring stories of Betty, how this documentary came to pass and how persistency became the theme for getting this film across the finish line.

Hi Bob, look forward to the car show, let me know if I can help!
Thanks,Mark
--------------------------
Mark,
You can definitely help us.
I can show you how to do our 30 second registration
for the NO ENTRY FEE car show and We can talk a bit as we are doing it.
It's a great way to meet everyone.

That will free me up to meet with our facebook person and other business.
We have a special theme every month. You just missed the January chili cookoff.
-----------------------
For now, go to this site and sign up for a free Birthday BBQ sandwich.
I don't know what part of town you are in but Mission BBQ has 3 places.
Go here: mission-BBQ.com/birthday to sign up.

We found that our club can sign up their whole family.

After I signed up with my birthday, name and email, I carried my phone
in with a picture of the email. To my surprise, once they sign you up for
the birthday BBQ, they send you an email for a sandwich a couple days from now.

Hello Bob
We are hosting our Gatheringagain on Thursday, May 5, 2022 at 6:00pm and we are looking forward to seeing you there. This is our night to get together, have some fun, eat some good food, share all the happenings going on in BAM!’s world, and keep everyone informed on the latest interesting news from the Ford and Mustang communities.
-----------------------------------------------------
Howie,
Any time you want to pass out flyers at a Keystone 3rd Saturday meeting, just let us know you are coming and I will give one of your members a few minutes to tell us about your upcoming events, etc.as well as place flyers on every driver seat in our parking lot.

You will usually need about 40 flyers. Placing them on the driver seat and talking to people
is better than a stack of flyers on a table, or loose ones in the parking lot that escaped a windshield wiper.

We all benefit from promoting the car scene.
A newsletter and also a facebook page are a way of advertising
your club.

Real car folks don't care what kind of car you drive anyway.
We just feel good if you stop by on 3rd Saturdays and hang out for a while.
You might even win a gift certificate or the Club Participation cash.
-Bob
