Default Chicago Auto Show 2010

Who's going? I see tickets are $11 on the website, does anyone know if they are they $11 at the show?

As long as the weather is dry I will be going to the show Saturday or Sunday.

probably pre-sale. You can get free tickets from your bank (depending on bank of course).

I like to see concept cars and custom cars like the Subaru Rally cars, Vipers, then of course the exotics. Not to mention a lot of the spokeswomen/models are smokin.

I took a bunch of pics yesterday....I will try to get them posted up tomorrow afternoon.

The only Caprice there was mocked up as a squad car, so it was kind of hard to pick up the design cues.

I got to go last Thursday before it opened to the public it was a black tie charity event. The tickets were $225 and didnt even include parking luckily my girlfriends office paid for the tickets. It was really cool being there with a lot less people, free booze and food, and no damn kids running around when im trying to look at the cars.
