I took a vacation day on Tuesday, and I'm going in the morning.


I hate, hate, hate going when it is really crowded, plus it is a tradition that my cousins and I have been doing for as long as we could drive.

Less People

The best way to see the Auto Show with few people is to go in the middle of the week from 7-10pm. The show closes at 10, but if you're in the back ( is in the back corner) you can work your way out slowly and be in there until 10:30 or 10:45.

Going late is great if you want to shoot pictures without people in the way. Keep your eyes peeled for security and just keep doubling back. It may be crowded at 7pm, but it gets thinner the rest of the night.

Here are some pictures that I shot on Wednesday. http://tinyurl.com/36ana

If you want to sit in one all you have to do is ask.
yes of course, that's why i said "people" and not "me" im thinking about those who don't have the chance to sit in an evo.

I was there last night. I was pretty disappointed because there wasn't much to see because pretty much every car I saw was at last year's auto show. I didn't see the RS or the HSC. The Corvette looked like crap, but at least the GT was cool. Pictures will be posted soon.

My wife and I are taking Friday off to hit the show. I'm sure we'll spend 8 hours there. I'm looking forward to seeing the C6, Magnum, Carrera GT...I already have a BBY Evo sitting in the garage.
