I'm torn between that or the Motorsports Show at the Tacoma Dome. They are supposed to have a bunch of old race cars from different series (including old drag racing cars) and boats. I've also heard aircraft but I'm not sure about that.

Yeah I was gonna say there's two personally I'd rather go to the motorsports show if anything. I could go to a dealer to see anything at the auto show in seattle. They don't really have any concepts usually.

I don't feel bad about the $11/person

of course the $10 parking
and $300 meal made the trip kinda expensive

haha diddo on the meal and parking. I thought the show was pretty good. I've gone the past few years, and kinda had an idea on what kind of disappointments to expect. I took enough "free" Porsche posters to pay for the trip probably.

The ZR1 and GTR personally made the trip for me. I had high...really high expectations for the ZR1 and it blew them away. That thing was serious. Granted they wouldn't let me inside of it...but the build quality and overall appearance...left me very impressed.

Plus the pretty Ferrari model/saleswoman was fun to talk to.



Quick Reply: anyone going to the car show this weekend?
