I went on Saturday.. not a bad show.. all the cars seem to have the same turn signals and fancy lines.. New Cars.. Dodge Dart... as impressive as the old one.. Chevy Sonic and Cruze... nice shape and lines, but low clearance for the front end. Highlite.. Ford Shelby Boss Mustang, highest performance stock engine in the USA. the Vette ZR1 429 looked awesome too. Liked the Fiat 500 and Buick has a new small SUV out in 2013. lotsa people on Sat.

I didn't like the "Price" on the sign at the BP Cafe. If you want people to be excited about cars you probably shouldn't be showing an artificially high price ($3.95) on your gas sign. although if they have their way, that sign will represent a bargain.

If you know someone who works at a car dealer, especially in the front of the store, you can get free admision weekday tickets from them.

$18 to park at McCormick Place. I just would like to look at the cars, but living in this city, it's not worth it to have a nice car!

Haven't gone for over 5 years. Bad time of year... But might be interested if anyone has a line on some free or reduced tickets....
