it's not a trophy car show at all, its more of a display show. And you can't just enter any car you have to be with a certain company to be in the booth

Honestly do not waste your money this year. It is 1/4th the size with most booth's being largely empty. Some manufacturer's (BMW/Mercedes/Land Rover) were not even there.

The Shop needs to rope off the Carrera GT & Jo Jo's Supra. The sight of all those people banging their coat zippers, placing their hands, and bumping up against them was too much.

Last years Seattle show was lame - it has gotten so small that it's almost not worth going anymore

Cool thing is that your car is there Stephen so that is cool

Saw your car. It looked really good. Doesn't look like you cut any corner either.

I had free tickets and stopped by... really small show with little remarkable... bummer. I wish there was something that just grabbed me, but I'm not impressed lately with many of the newer cars... not to mention that anything even somewhat nifty runs at least 24k now.

Sad. Last year's auto show had the R8, but no GTR.
