<VV> re Drill Doctor Bummer

[corvairs]

What you say is true Mark - so far as it goes. But I think that we 
should not shoulder this situation on Buffalo (Our Corsa committee 
people there I mean). What you are seeing is almost certainly the wave 
of the future for vending at conventions. Many states are getting more 
aggressive in thier sales tax collection and, now that the issue has 
been broached, it is probably going to be an issue from here on out. The 
only question will be whether or not a given event is deemed large 
enough to warrant scutiny on the part of the local tax collector.

We commercial vendors have been having to do this at Palm Springs now 
for 4 years, I think. You're looking at the future - NOT a unique 
problem at Buffalo. We've been concerned about this issue for over 10 
years and poor old Four Clubs gets the misfortune of being the Rubicon. 
This issue should not deter ANYONE from attending Buffalo - I can see 
very shortly when we will not be attending Corsa conventions to buy 
parts. It's all part of the evolution of this hobby.

Come to Buffalo and enjoy the cammeraderie - See your many friends and 
those wonderful Corvairs. I just found out I won't make it there, but 
the rest of you need to keep the faith.
