where are you in college? also, raul... the only downfall to last year was the looooong day waiting for the rewards. I think they should do some viewers choice awards half way through the day or something to keep us interested... or the call prize tickets all day if they do that again... just my .02

Cool.
Last year my retro Celica(first generation) won 2nd place. There were rumors that the judge had the same generation Celica as the first place Celica (7th generation)...but that was just a rumor right? I had people whispering this to me after the show.
Last year there was a Lotus Espirit parked on the side of the show.
This year if a Lotus Elise arrives (these are powered by Toyota's 2ZZ-GE) will there be a classification for it? Like a 'Specialized Vehicle / Exotics' category? I am proud that Lotus decided to use reliable Toyota powerplant and transmission and if you check the articles on this it was Lotus who approached Toyota more than one to get permission to use the powerplant and transmission. Who can blame Lotus? They knew Toyota had it figured out.
I hope the car show allows this type of entry.

the show is till 4pm - but you are welcomed to join us afterward. it has been tradition to take out the scion train thru downtown chicago.
well, latest is that Elmhurst just filled in the side ravine with concrete. that means there will be much more room. is it enough so we can have doors open? - not sure. i'll make a recommendation that they stage the car in a staggered position -- that way we can have our doors open.
we have a meeting coming up for the show -- any other suggestions, let me know so i can bring them up then.
