We went yesteday. There are some clean rides but there are more than a few that are over done. kind of a small show. I remember about 20yrs ago the vette show was a big show. For me it was not worth the $27.00 I spent for parking and tickets. Icon Auto Sports did hook us up with free t-shirt though.

it was not a bad show but like someone said there were few cars that were overdone. I am going back today. But the gun show was great but crowded. You will enjoy both.

I'd go for the corvette expo, but it sounds like its not worth it from what everyone is saying. About how many cars were there?

corvette show was super weak. but got to take my 1 yr old son to that and the conroe swap meet...start them young and all. we had a blast.
too bad the vendors didn't have their stuff together. i tried to buy some brakes from Van Steel but the guy didn't even know about his products.

I was thinking of going but after I though about it I realized that after seeing two vetts it would get boring really fast.

There were a handful of nice cars at the show, but I'm SO sick of stockish C5s with stock wheels and JC Whitney chrome kits and stupid covers. Seems like some Corvette owners just slap anything that has a CORVETTE logo on it onto their cars. Too much, looks like crap.
