These look like fun, and I always said, "Man, I would totally go if this was closer to me"

Here it is, closer to me. I'm thinking about going, but am a little confused between the two entrant tickets. Regular vs "Royalty."

Register for the event with your 1980-1999 car for $25


"Radwood Royalty" cars are cars that represent the ultimate essence of the era and are subject to organizer approval. Tickets for "Royalty" are $70 and get showcase parking + a Radwood Royalty t-shirt.

Besides an extra $20 (the basic registration and a t-shirt is $50) and showcase parking, is it worth it?

Also, is the Funagon the essence of anything?

I always try to get the t-shirt, but as desirable as the Funagon is I don't remember any famous '80s vans aside from the A-Team and the Libyans. I guess there were some on the news with all the issues of the time...

There was one, not that anyone besides Vanagon owners remember it.

Philadelphia?

I'd like to attend. We'll see.

Is showcase parking worth it? That's a question only you can answer. Do you want your car in a prominent location, or is it okay to be amongst the general crowd of cars?

If your Vanagon is minty inside it might be a good candidate for Royalty. The DWA guys will probably dig it since Warren has a super clean Vanagon.

Hell yes the Funagon is worthy! Make it a party hangout with whatever 90’s tailgating memorabilia you can find.

I had an absolute blast at Radwood LA last Dec. Flew down, rented a 1980 450SL on Turo, and got parking day-of in the show. There were a couple of Vanagons there.

It’s awesome when you do it use with appropriate clothes and accessories. I had a few items of flair (OG Members Only jacket, vintage OP t shirt, checkerboard Vans, a Swatch) but others went all out.

Definitely go. Most fun you’ll have at a car show.

wow, in my backyard. I guess I should go!

Yes you should!

I’m flying out. I just have to raid my parent’s attic in Lower Merion (home of Kobe Bryant!!! HAHA not :thumbdown for the right clothes, so this is a no-brainer for me.

Side note - back when he was just a mere Fresh Prince, Will Smith was running around Philly in the most Radwood-appropriate Seafoam Green Mercedes 260E with Lorinsers. I feel like I should try and find one of those.

 

[Sold Over Sticker]

I’d like to go, but I might be tied up with work stuff. I’ll know more soon. If you’re anywhere close to it, you should dress up, bring a car and have a blast.

 

[retro_rocket]

Ooh...think I'll have to clean up the MX-6 and head out to this.

 

[Lifelong Obsession]

Not sure, but I hope the Vantruck people are there.

It cleans up pretty good, but I can't be the judge of whether it's actually worthy. It would be nice to have a good spot, I suppose. I would be driving 2.5 hours, so might as well make the most out of it if I can.

 

[theprf]

Philly's five hours... I could roadtrip the Corrado down. Could be really sweet.

 

[Zillon]

It's on a Sunday?

Don't have anything to bring, but I'd like to pay a visit.

The funagon is eleventy billion times worthy of showcase.

Do it. Do it meow.

Throw a 90’s era mountain bike on the roof rack along with the box, and it’s pure gold.

Oh man, I just realized I can totally do this for next Radwood :laugh:. You saw my 25 year old Huffy Stone Mountain buried in the garage and I found the complete set of neon green accessories while digging in there a few weeks ago. Of course, the green would clash with the orange cage.

 

[Pizza Cat]

I wish I still had my huffy boom box bike. Definitely radwood approved

Some people bring ONLY bikes to Radwood. If the car is right I’m absolutely bringing my ‘91 Cannondale SM2000 to the L.A. Radwood -

(Ignore the flat tire lol)

 

[Ryukein]

I'll be there with the Volvo! I kinda have to go, since I have the plate RADW00D...

I missed out on Atlanta because 1. I went to Monterey instead 2. I didn't really want to go anyway because the car's air conditioning doesn't work :laugh:
