I went last year during lunch and after-work, the show is not as spectacular as the NYC or LA show, but it has its highlights and it's available locally to us.

BTW, Audi/VW has relocated their USA HQ to Herndon, VA, so we might see a great display from them unlike before.

Hah, no some crazy honey mead concoction from a thousand year old recipe ... or something like that

I can't remember all too good, we were on a roll and the waiter went in for the kill

-1, IMHO, this show is waste of money and time. I think you get to see more cars and information on worldcarfans.com

The markerters were ignorant at their booth. I remember this year show I was at the MB booth. I asked the guy if they have the new C class W204 on the showcase. He was like, " err 204? do you mean C230? I almost cracked out

Let's plan something else Juan

I agree it's not the best show, but I will go anyway, so I thought maybe we could all hold hands and go together? RFD afterwards sounds good too.

Set a date.

This is deja vu all over again. The auto show was my first "meet" with Metro Crew guys and....only Scott and his wife and WXSquid showed up at the show. (BTW, where is the Squid?) If you guys want to skip the show and go right to the brew pub, great. But this time, let's agree on a plan.

WxSquid · 11-06-2007, 06:43 PM

I'm lurking most of the time

Between work ramping up, taking college courses, and a family death, I'm just can't get away as much as I used to this summer.

iatacs19 · 11-06-2007, 08:46 PM

I know it's far in advance, but start throwing out some dates and times. Remember to bring your gov't ID for discount, CAC or other IDs work.
