How bout saving that for the MOTORCYCLE SHOW!!!! ****** retards. they had a total of 4 f-bodies there with 2 of them being at the outlaw booth. I think it was horrible. TOOO many old school 50's 60's cars. I dont care too much for them.

Well, compared to the Milwaukee show, I thought it was pretty cool. But Im into just about all types of American cars from the 50's until now, and not to mention the bike section with the tatt parlor was awesome a good idea. But the only drawback was that I felt it WAS a bit overpriced (parking + admission = $31!!! ).

I also thought it was a waste of time. Some nice cars, but it seemed like just a lot of the same. Also seemed like there was enough 05-up mustangs.

I stopped going when they started with the custom bicycles and low rider BS. Sorry if your into that. Also it seemed that the show was getting smaller every year and I had decided to stop going. Sounds like I didn't miss much again this year except the new DVD of Tony's.

I was the same old same old, but I took a buddy of mine, who is from another country and it was prety cool seeing his reaction. He has never been to a show like that ans he was pretty impressed. I think we are just hard to please after being around this hobby for so long.
