Putty Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 If it was any more than $8 i'd be more upset. Was good for something to do today, but very light inventory. One Lambo.....a Gallardo....are you serious!! It was an LP560 though, but still. My kid got a pic with SpongeBob, so that made it worth it...lol.

Boosted1G GSX Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 yeah i feel you for sure. it was not that great at all, but i mean what would you expect from a show that once was 2 weeks and now is down to 4 days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 O knew it would suck but breakfast downtown with my son and the balloon animals he got on top of the fact that to him it was a new experience made it fun. He also got to see dad say WTF? To the guy selling $6 cotton candy. No thanks on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan900 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 We took my nephews and had a great time. We went Sat morning just as it opened so it wasnt that crowded. I took pictures of my youngest nephew(12) sitting in all the cars and showing the shocker. His mother will love them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicktcfcsb Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 The last time I went it was nice to see the high end cars covered up because there was no one there to talk about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGU Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 it sucked last year and the year before and I had a reason to believe it would suck this year too, I guess I was right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Hmm glad i didnt make it. did a 4 hour rally out to amish country for lunch, after a car-meet breakfast Did this exact thing on Saturday (minus the car meet bfast), instead of the car show, as well. It was a great day for it and the rav was already dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 After having just been at the Chicago auto show Cbus can never compare and it was even smaller than usual. The highlight for me was working out in the hall spreading the word about the Cooper Stadium project, I talked to hundreds of people and almost all of them were in support of the project.

BloodRed Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Even though I normally go (get free tickets) the show in general sucks if you compare it to any of the big shows in other cities. I don't know if most of the car are "show cars." I bet most of them just come of the local dealership lot for the show. It is a bit fun to play in the new cars and check them out. If you are in the market for a new car, then it is a great chance to see the cars you are interested in or available and it will help you narrow down your selections. I know going to the show is why I ended up with the car I DD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I bet most of them just come of the local dealership lot for the show. yup. when i was over at (what was) Honda East back in the day we had to prep almost one of each model for the show. I remember it was right after they came out with the Civic Hybrid.. For the show you can only have a border-line empty gas tank... ours was full, so we parked it ourside running for god knows how many hours lol.

Boosted1G GSX Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 It's a lexus IS350 (im not too sure about the model ) but its just a tricked out lexus, and under the hood is a supercharged V6 and for all the options i think the guy said it would cost ya around 70-75k...not worth it in my opinion but the car didn't look too bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vitamincj Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I missed seeing BMW and Mitsubishi. And Audi and Jaguar too. And Suzuki. I wanted to bash the new Kia Borrego but they didn't have one. Wanted to see the G wagon again but it wasn't there. No big whoop. I got in free.

truckin Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 The auto show is a waste of time and money.....has been for many years now. You can go to Ricart for free and see 70% of the cars on display Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
