DC Auto Show

Anyone going? Its not that great of a show, and don't think there will even be a BMW section, except for the a few 'green' prototypes.

If I have nothing else going on, I may check it out anyways since I usually go every year.

[MPWR]

Yeah, it sucks- but we go every year also.

We'll probably be there friday. It funny that we usually see almost nothing we'd consider buying, but it's fun anyway. Hopefully the pie run will happen saturday (or sunday).

I think Friday is autotrader day so its cheaper with the coupon; definitely a good day to go. weekends suck b/c its too crowded

[MPWR]

That was my thinking.

Looking at the floor plan, it seems emptier than previous years.



Lots of empty spaces- I suppose they will be filled with 'local celebrities' and vendors trying to sell miracle wax. No Porsche area, but I'm surprised to see that Saab has a section. Maybe they will be more focused on "Buy Saab!" instead of "Buy A Saab!".

Like yours truly.

My M3 is on display at the SCCA booth, right in front of the SOLO trailer. Its directly next to BMW / MINI on the left side. If that isn't a reason to go to the show, then I don't know what is!

How did those magnetic numbers work?

thanks Vic, you spoiled all my fun for tomorrow although i CAN live without Pontiac or Oldsmobile

Yawn. It was pretty boring, but I needed to get out and play in the snow. The Fiat 500s were cute. The 5-series GT looked better than I expected, but I still wouldn't buy one. And Toyota and GMC/Buick handed out nice reusable grocery bags (the highlights of the show).

The show just isn't the same without Oldsmobile and Pontiac.

And over 75 percent (yes, I kept score) of the vehicles that spun out to the sides of the roads were SUVs.

Wow, didn't know the Fiat 500s were still around, are they still an air cooled 2 cylinder? Mine was in high school!.
