really because EVERYONE that was with us in our display said it was much better this year than any other past year they can remember for at least 10 years.


Also that blue thirdgen is SWEET! I may be biased though

Well opinions are like ********, everybody has one and everybody thinks everyone elses' stinks.

I have gone every year since I was 15, 32 now. The last 2 years has stunk. Maybe it was better this year, maybe not. For the price to park and get in, it is not worth it. I am not saying that all the cars suck, but they sure don't have the great cars they used to.

Glad you guys had a good time tho.

LOL if he stayed out of the donk and low rider section he wouldn't have taken those shots The HUGE muscle car section he didn't take many pics, we had 10 f-bodies in our display and all were clean and tastefully done, along with one road race viper as well.

Haha yea...only reason why I took pictures of those cars was because I though they were pretty funny. The muscle car section was very good and the show has been much better overall since it has moved to Rosemont IMO.

WOW was great. Trust me as someone who's gone at least every other year for the last 11 and I've had a car there too... OP's pics are nice but there were way more muscle cars, hot rods and customs then you'd realize if you only went by his pics. There were probably 20 4th and 5th gens, an entire room of Vette Fest style stock muscle cars and Corvettes, a whole section of drag cars, and tons more. 10 years ago Wow was very ricer and low rider but no more. You have to realize that there were 3-4 rooms of stuff at the center.
