Stampede Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 How much is parking? Is it worth going? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Dont remember how much parking is, but I think it is worth going. It is mostly production cars, but they usually have a small section set aside for custom/aftermarket stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I have gone in the past but it really sucks compared to Detroit or Chicago. This years Detroit show was not very good either. Unless you are looking for a car to buy I would pass. In the Detroit show you can sit in a ZO6, here it will be locked and most likely roped off.

Dr. Pomade Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 In the Detroit show you can sit in a ZO6, here it will be locked and most likely roped off. Just like a regular C6 Z06? Yes, I guess that demands the highest levels of security. /sarcasm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 we will probably be going if the weather is decent since we will be bringing the boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I went like two years ago and thought it absolutely sucked. 90% of the cars they had there I saw on the trip to the show right there on the highway with me. They barely had anything sweet. I think I spent 10 minutes walking around and then got bored looking at the same shit I could have seen at Ricart. I don't know if it has changed though...

excell Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I usually go, even though I go to Detroit as well. Now that I'm right next to the convention center (FREE PARKING! ) I'll definitely go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate1647545505 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I went to the Cleveland Autoshow, it was decent. You could sit in the Z06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 This sounds just like the Houston show last year. It's been reduced to a glorified car dealership, as well. Only they charge you now and it's more crowded. :gay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest McDonald Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Im going, havent been to an auto show since Detroit last year, which was huge.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peck.127osu.edu Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 i went to the Columbus show last year, it blew! it was like walking around a car lot, the only thing that was cool about it was they had bikes and a couple dragsters there, nothing like top fuel but OK. The only cars you couldn't sit in were the new Escalade, The shelby gt500, the gt40, and the Saturn sky, and the high end cars like Aston martin and lambo, every thing else was fair game found some pics http://img1.putfile.com/thumb/3/6413435624.jpg http://img1.putfile.com/thumb/3/6413435619.jpg http://img1.putfile.com/thumb/3/6413435634.jpg http://img1.putfile.com/thumb/3/6413435515.jpg http://img1.putfile.com/thumb/3/6413435573.jpg there you go essentially you just went to the Columbus International Auto show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I take my son every year. I think it sucks personally. My son on the other hand likes to collect the brochures, and act like he's driving the cars. Its funning watching a 7 year work a manual transmission! Especially when his acting looks better than my real life driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I take it for what it is. It's never going to be like Detroit, but it can be fun. I went last year, and I'll go again this year. The only thing that really bothers me is the people. For instance last year after getting in the Z06 the only thing some woman had to say was "the transmission is sooooo notchy". I enjoy walking around with my girlfriend and she enjoys the cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big A Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I'm closing Friday. I can do Thursday or Saturday though. You have a job? Where at? I can't go on either of those days. I could go next week any day but Tuesday. How much is parking? Depends where you park and how far you want to walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 You can't see anything at the show here that you couldn't at a local dealer as thats all it is. It's only $8 to get in but hell the detroit show is only $12, after being at thae Detroit show ours is boring in comparison. Spaceghost, I agree Detroit was lacking this year.

NOS50 Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I might be there to help set up the Lexus Area but I doubt I will go.It is usually pretty weak so I go when I get free tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodRed Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Yeah like everyone else said, it is like visiting all the different car dealerships at one place. Even most of the cars and the people working there are from the dealerships. My wife and I like to go still. It is cool to see some of the cars and stuff. My wife and I are talking of going this weekend. I normally park over at the convention center parking at the corner of Vine and Front. It is like $7 for all day weekend parking.

silverhatch Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Are they having the win $25,000 towards a new car contest this year? A friend of ours won the contest a couple years ago but I haven't heard any advertisements for it this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
