ProDarwin · 01-02-2008, 08:05 PM

I love autoshows. Remember to flick the child lock on any 4 door you come across... confuses the hell out of people

Idaho · 01-02-2008, 09:38 PM

I'll be going for sure. I get back from leave on the 23rd. Get a chance to sit in a new STi there I bet....

KanosWRX · 01-02-2008, 11:19 PM

I love going to auto shows and messing with the sales/marketing people there. It's funny when you know more about the car then they do

Me "Does an indicator light come on the dash when the turbo is low on boost fluid"

Them "Yes, of course it will let you know that"

So is this show any good? The only auto show experience I have is with the NAIAS in Detroit so I'm not sure what to expect.

I think I'll be going.

I agree but can only say so for having been to the NY show for years. That and the motorcycle shows at Javits in the dead winter.

Still not bad for such a short distance. It was even worse before the new convention center was done.

Saturday.

Maybe change the thread to include a poll?

Layman · 01-03-2008, 09:20 AM

It's worth saving your money and driving up to NY for the show in March.

Bet On Grey · 01-03-2008, 09:28 AM

Check out the hot displays... The hip hop suzuki is ballin'. I was not aware of two versions of the new GTR, 34 and 36?? Anyone wanna help me out, I haven't been researching the GTR much.

the R34 is the previous chassis code for the nissan skyline (both normal and GTR) that was never officially imported to the US by nissan. It is one of the versions of the GTR that everyone outside of japan/australia/uk was lusting after.

I suppose they labled the newest one, the one that WILL be in the states, as the R36.

trotpntbll · 01-03-2008, 10:27 AM

I'm gunna try to go Sat..... Caravan to a metro station anyone haha

Or sit on my ass for two months and watch TV.

Even better go to my parents house bum off them for two months. Save all the money and buy the Dominator 3.0R, EJ257, and get it tuned.

I have gotten a new talent of foreseeing the future and I can see that you'll be too sick to work that auto show Saturday yet able to attend the show and spread your germs.

Don't be too greedy with your 60, I had to take a non-planned 19 recently and it wasn't too much fun.

AllAWD · 01-03-2008, 03:43 PM

I'm more excited about the DC Motorcycle Show Jan 11-13

Hopefully I can go to both
