I'm planning to go but I think the weekend will be crazy crowded!
Maybe next week after work. I work in the white "wedding cake" looking high rise 3 blocks away. Super simple for me to pop in.
Let me know about the hook up. I'm just stock for now.
I'm getting new wheels. They should be here next weekend around 1/14/05.

Because of the weather here I'm going nuts Rain, rain and more fricking rain, I might go early before playoffs start. Still watching traffic reports for mudslides I always take the coast from here. Might try after the rain.

What time should I have the LIMO pick you up!

I went first thing Sunday morning. Left the show around 3:00. It was sooooo packed when we left! Saw the Crossfire SRT6 roadster & other Crossfires. People were gathered around them. The looked like they were a hit.

... It's a good thing we didn't do a hook up along the coastal route. Some guy skid off the highway, went over the embankment & crashed into the rocks 20 feet below at the surf (Malibu/Palisades area). Pretty sad. There were 5 people in the car. 4 people got out & 1 perished. Traffic was a mess.

On a lighter note... the show was decent. Not as big as I thought it was going to be. Same size as years past.

I think the best part was the concept cars.

Thanks for the pics. We saw all the same concepts at the San Diego Auto Show. I guess they just moved them up the coast. I felt bad about missing the LA show again, but not so bad when I saw the pics. I do wonder why the manufacturers use the 2004 Detroit Concept cars in a 2005 show on the West Coast. I know Detroit is home to most of the manufacturers and they like to show concepts there first, but by the time they make it to the West, we have all seen and/or read about them in almost all the car mags. I wish they would consider the size of the market and bring those concepts to California first!

Regards,
Chris

I'll make the drive if you guys are going to have one, providing the roads are dry (I have my Michelin Cups on the car still).
