In the Harley-Davidson, and "other" brands motorcycle world, they have a little get together every August in a little place called Sturgis - which ain't close to nothin'...but thousands of bikers show up every year. My wife and I rode a couple of years ago from Houston. Two day trip. Loooong days on a bike. And, we bought the patches for our vests that say: "I rode mine/Sturgis '09" So, maybe we need the little decals for our cars: "POCA Rally/ I drove mine '14" ------BILL Lewis
