Actually, have you ever gone to the biker shows? Or the classic car shows? NO different...except the perpetrators are old men instead. That island has nothing to offer except a place for these events. Apart from that, its a retirement community. The show has never been in ocean city. Its always off island. The cruises and the hotels and condos are all on ocean city. So the venue(which they somehow had issues with I assume) had absolutely zero to do with ocean city. The only thing thats going to change is that there is no official show...however, the cars folks are all still going...thousands of them....so nothing changed. Despite what some may feel is "justified". I ne longer go to the show either. Havent been in over two years. For the same reason I never go to biker or muscle car shows anymore....a bunch of idiotic drunks with a superiority complex..... This show was ok before...but the non VW guys started making it a mess, and rather than barring them from coming, they were allowed to continue their shenanigans....but take heart...in a few years they will be older...and they will be at all the biker and classic\muscle cars shows...where they will fit right in.
