Good Guys - Pleasanton, California - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

elektrik · 06-01-2010, 11:23 AM

After the perfect storm of suckiness (not being able to take my truck to any shows for one reason or another for the past 3 years!!!), I am finally taking my baby to the Good Guys show in Pleasanton this weekend. I almost decided not to go because of the driver's door handle, but there's gonna be a huge swap meet so I'm looking to score one there.

Anyone going?

I'm still undecided about going!

Lots of nice cars on the way there passing through Mission Blvd. here in Fremont 680/880 freway interchange.. Too bad I won't be making it this time around...

I went after all, $8.00 to park,$17.00 to enter,($50.00 if you want participate) $3.00 for a small bottle of h2o, and the food and beer is another story $$$$$$, I think you get the picture.

But I had a good time looking at the car and trucks, And browsing the ever so shrinking swap meet.

"ever so shrinking swap meet" I noticed it looked empty....I took a drive down there in my truck didn't enter just drove by had some lunch At Jack N The Box at the corner..

You know, they (good guys) always advertise a "huge swap meet" but, it's only a drop in the bucket compare to alot of other swap meets. Next time I'll meet you at Jack's pad for a jumbo jack and a beer.

I just went to a car show today, june 5th.
5 dollars a carload, 1.50 a burger,75 cents chips,1 dollar for a water. I spent less than 20 bucks with 2 kids and had a blast.
some shows are ridiculously priced and i really like goodguys, but man o man.

Well, I'm thinking of going this saturday at Del Mar. Last year I went in a hurry because I had to work that evening but this time I'm off. I hope doesn't rain.

The Spring Good Guys show in Pleasanton is hit and miss, depends on the weather. All we'd heard about last week was the big rain storm coming on Saturday- it never materialized. But I think that is what kept people away from the show, I took my son Saturday morning and there were maybe 100 cars at 11am.

The Summer Get Together is always a huge draw...but it's also in really nice weather!

Ditto! This is my favorite car show venue (if you know of better close to Sacramento, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!). I didn't go because of the weather and like mentioned it's an expensive day for a less than stellar turn out. I'm hoping my blazer will make it inside at the summer get together though!
