I still consider the show a bucket list show for anyone that has never been. 6-7k cars can be sensory overload to some people.Even though I am there 3 days, I have been enough I can look at everything in 1 day. See a couple hundred of the right cars, see friends I see twice a year, which is just as important, and have a great time. (Except the year the asphalt was melting it was so damn hot)
I agree on the bucket list show. But I'm just saying I dont see people make the trip every year like it used to. You said you stayed home to work as did I and I think I felt more like I had to go years ago.

But I just either SEMA is taking over as a bigger place to go and unveil new cars. People used to debut new cars at Columbus and now it seems like its done at SEMA and then the cars are taken to Columbus in the first year of showing the car and I'm sure that has an impact on people just saying oh I can see that car at SEMA or I saw it at SEMA last year.
