I copyied this from another forum so i hope its ok to post, I WILL BE ATTENDING THIS EVENT i know there are some people that might be close to it and want to go so im posting this.


EVENT: got3800.com Takes on the 2009 Auto Show!!!

DATE: 11:00am / Febuary 14, 2009 spots in the back of the GP available if anyone wants to ride in with us.)

WHY: Because we love cars. lol

WEBSITES: http://www.chicagoautoshow.com/

Location: I will be parking in Parking Lot B (SHOWN HERE: http://www.mccormickplace.com/pdf/StreetMap.pdf) which is very easy to get to. Take Lake Shore Drive South till you hit the exit for E.31st St. get off and take a hairpin turn right which will take you on the street that the parking lot is on (Moe Dr. i believe). FYI Parking is typical around $15.....so car pool...lol

I do plan to go that day, but i always go at night time.

SO i may or may not see you guys there.

It is 5 hours and 15 minutes from my place. If it is Saturday then I'm all over for this for sure. Since it is Sunday. I don't think I won't able make it because I have job on Monday.

Be sure you ask your girlfriend/wife (if you have one) for "permission" to go car show because it is Feb. 14th.

After see the list of cars. I see Pontiac G8 Sport truck. I'm not sure if it still around. If you see it then take picture for us. I'm sure we would like to see "real" G8 truck.

Have fun guys!

hey you got my number you will just have to let me know when its closer to the date, because im sure we will be there ALONG TIME lol because i know i wont want to leave

I'd go with you guys but I usually go on Sundays and get there right when it opens to avoid the crowds. I might be able to hook you guys up with some free tickets if you want them but I'll have to let you know a little closer to actual date to see if I'll have any or not.

hum, ok because i was going to order my tickets tomarow but if i can get free ones than i should prolly wait

A great time to go is right after the lunch crowd leaves. Between 3 and 4. Works great for me each and every year.

We should all go saturday so palsut can go too, we need to al be there and take pics in the parking garage, etc. hha

well my ride is the admin from got3800 im stayen at his place, we are all going to car pool there, we will be there most of the day i think but i will still be around on sunday

but i will be coming out Fri during the day so i will be there fri/sat/sun and leave late sun night

Sorry, I thought it was Sunday. Feb. 14th is on Saturday. Feb. 15th is on Sunday. Feb. 15th is no good for me. Why? Daytona 500! Nascar is back!

Actually, it was little mess up plan because I didn't know Indianapolis car show have same date as Chicago. I'm planning to go Indianapolis car show on Feb. 14th so I won't be around.

Actually my mom gets a handfull of free tickets each year from her office because she does the books for a few dealerships.

I'd be more than happy to get anyone free tickets that wants one but I won't know how many I will be able to get for sure until a week or two before the show.

The free ticket is good for friday only.

well crap i cant use it then

My tickets are usable any day of the show but like I said I won't know until close to show day so it's up to you Andrew if you wanna wait or not.

No, I don't have texting cellphone.

I totally forgot about this car show plan. I just found out junk yard add new 2 Pontiac Grand Prix cars this week. I was planning to check it out if they are good shape that I might use some parts for cheap price tomorrow morning.

Tough choice..... Car show or junk yard?

If I'm planning to go car show. I usually show up early like one hour ahead of car show because of few people so I can take a LOT of better pictures.

hey im going to indy on sunday morning to pick up some headers and some other parts with another member, we are leaving chicago around 6am but we will be on our way early ... if anyone maybe wants to meet up let me know my number is 712-790-9929 idk how long we will be staying in town but i know there is the world of wheels show going on
