January 9, 200719 yr Just got done making my hotel reservations... I will be going to the show this Saturday. Pretty excited about it, I've been wanting to go for years now, and this will be the first time. Anyone else going?
January 12, 200719 yr For anyone looking last minute, I suggest booking a hotel in Windsor (alot cheaper the anything in Detroit) and take the shuttle from windsor to the autoshow. $20 CND gets a round trip to and from the show and tickets.
January 12, 200719 yr The polite lady at Windsor transit told me its $19. Good deal anyhow. Im going tommorow! Will take tons of pictures and perhaps video.
January 12, 200719 yr Ted! You're going tomorrow? I'll meet ya there! haha. I'll PM you my number. If anybody else is going tomorrow, let me know! I'll be there practically from the minute the doors open until who knows when...
January 13, 200719 yr I'll be there Sunday. Word up to those going on Saturday: Parking spaces may be at a premium because the Red Wings are playing @ home.

January 13, 200719 yr You guys suck...I gotta wait a few more days ( Wed)... Have fun! I was supposed to go saturday, but those plans got messed up.....

I'll be there Friday, Saturday, Sunday of next week (1-19 to 1-21) Anyone else going that weekend? I got a room at the RenCen Marriott for only $120/night.....which I think is really good for a "full-service" Marriott downtown within walking distance of Cobo......(in fact, it was a bit cheaper than the Courtyard Marriott across the street.....)

January 13, 200719 yr Not going... unless someone who will be passing by Brookville wants to take me along.
January 15, 200719 yr Author Back from the show... had a blast. Had to drive through rain most of the way up, until about the Mich state line, and the entire way back was rain. Show was MUCH more crowded than I anticipated, there was no room to move, or take pics which was kind of a dissapointment. The displays were awesome though. I will definately do it again! I will never be able to look at the Pittsburgh auto show the same again. Too bad I didn't get to check back on this thread last week, or I could have met up with some of you guys that went. Maybe next year... Edited January 15, 200719 yr by AM6_Cutlass
January 15, 200719 yr NOS and I were somewhere in that crowd too. It was very people-congested. Everytime I tried to take a picture, someones head was popping up, and at every turn, I bumped into people. The displays were fantastic, and GM this year had basicaly their own show within the show. I overheard people saying that they spent so much time at GM, they didnt have time to go anywhere else. Captive audience lol. I bet Petra is enjoying the show today. I hope GMRULES and OC have a good time, its a worthwile show.
January 15, 200719 yr Hey guys, I am planning on attending the Auto Show tomorrow and was wondering on the best place to park. I will driving down from the north and would like to get into the show at 8:00 am for the picture contest. Does anyone have any recommendations for parking? Most of the lots that I found on naias.com open at 9, which is too late.
January 15, 200719 yr I'd like to have gone this weekend...the weather was actually better in Detroit than here, something I've never seen before in January..
January 17, 200719 yr the weather was actually better in Detroit than here, something I've never seen before in January.. That has been one of the most talked about topics this year, normally a winter storm would dump a foot of snow right after media day.
January 17, 200719 yr I'm going next Friday maybe I could pass by and meet you? Dude I'd love to meet up! I'll PM you with my cell phone.....just call me sometime Friday and we'll figure out a way to connect.....
January 17, 200719 yr Anybody else heading up to Detroit this weekend? I'm gonna be there for closing day the 21st to hopefully get some good shots in with diminished crowds. If you're gonna be there, PM me!
January 21, 200719 yr I went Saturday with the family. WAAAAAYY too many people. Icouldn't even get near the custom Mustang with the Lambo doors. Got some half way decent pics though. had to leave early so I mostly got to the GM and Jeep/dodge spots only. I need one of those Media passes next year!!lol
January 21, 200719 yr Went to the show on Friday, got busier as the day went on but overall not too crowded. Highlight for me was seeing the CTS in person, hopefully I'm going to buy one in a few years to reward myself for finishing off the mortgage.
