Question about Charolette this weekend - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Luvlegs · 04-11-2007, 12:06 PM

I posted this question over on the events board but thought I might get a quicker answer here... I've never been to the Charolette car show and was wondering what you all thought of dragging along a cart/wagon to haul stuff around on.... more of a pain in the butt than it's worth?
I'm going to be looking for stuff for the top end of a 454 I'm building, brackets, intake, carb, valve covers, lifters, etc.. stuff that'll get heavy after a bit.
Is it a pain to get out to your vehicle and back or easier to drag a cart around?
Anyone know if I can get in and out with a cart easily at this one?

YES! BRING ONE! I carried a stepside tailgate, two bumpers and a bunch of other crap MILES back and forth from the vendors to the truck. I REGRET not having one! And I saw lots of people with them last year, so you shouldn't feel out of place.

This is all the crap I carried by hand last year!

Deffinetely bring one, you wont be sorry. If anything lock it up to your truck and walk around to find everything you want and pay for it then go get your wagon and load it down. but deffinetely bring it.
