Default Philly Auto Show Feb.4-12

Anyone going? I thought about it, but I don't care for the pushy,ignorant people that attend there. Especially since many of them don't bother to shower first. Last time I went there was a fight by the Hummer display. And on top of that is was 10 bucks to get in, but 19 to park your car! The cars are cool, but the ********* aren't.

i went last year, on a saturday and you could barely walk. however, i went the year before that during the week (thurs i think) at night and it was really empty and you could get right up close. i'll probably be goin again this year but only if i can during the week.
