Good news (for me) and bad news (for Saabtoberfest)

I will finally get my car back tomorrow with a new rear quarter-panel and a new paint job. I had to be patient with the insurance company, but my strategy of waiting it out and doing most of the footwork of sourcing more affordable parts for them paid off.
Now the bad news, I have talked to Dan at Eurotech in Wilkes Barre and he has told me that Saabtoberfest is pretty much finished. He said that because the event has taken on as many as 150 cars last year, the insurance liability costs have grown too great---he was quoted $6000 to underwrite this one day event. Yeah, they could do something more unofficial but they feel a bit weary to do that after a participant went off the road last year, totaling his car and almost going off a 20 ft. ledge. I was hoping to return to Saabtoberfest this year as a sort of pay-off after waiting to get my car fixed.
I'll plan on being at the meeting on Sept. 27th.
later.
