Last year, the Maui Classic Cruisers Car Club hosted a celebration of national Collector Car Appreciation Day in Maui, Hawaii, at the Piilani Village Car Show. The event included a presentation where event coordinator Scott Borge and club president Patty Ventura received an official proclamation of Collector Car Appreciation Day in Maui County from mayor Allen Arakawa.

SEMA SAN Strike Force
 

Carol Jensen with her beloved 2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon that features a 4-inch lift and an aftermarket winch. She and her vehicle can be found this weekend at Sand Lake, Oregon, for the Sand Flea Rally.

Since the earliest days of the SEMA Action Network (SAN), Carol Jensen has proven to be a stalwart through her actions to protect and defend our pastime from her home state of Washington. A current director and past president of the Pacific Northwest Four Wheel Drive Association (PNW4WDA), she has been actively working with countless automotive enthusiasts, hobbyist groups and lawmakers on issues specifically affecting the four-wheeling crowd with husband Don by her side. In fact, Carol’s energy has been instrumental in promoting the PNW4WDA’s mission to keep public lands open for off-highway vehicle (OHV) access and outdoor recreation. In addition to land use issues, she has participated in efforts to restrict bumper, tire and suspension alterations. Most recently, she assisted in rallying greater support from Washington residents regarding legislation intended to prohibit cities or towns from enforcing an ordinance that prevents automobile collectors from pursuing their hobby. The entire Network applauds this and all your prior endeavors, Carol!
