If its the same thing as the Milw show which to me gets worse every year, I cant see myself taking the trip there.

Maybe Jeff (Van B) can enlighten me. Im assuming you've been to the Detroit show and I know you've been at the Milw. show

I have always been of the understanding that Detroit was the one to go to. Many high quality cars debut there due to the Ridler Award competition being there. Sort of like Columbus Goodguys is the big one.

Thanks Jeff,
Just Didn't want to take a trip and turnaround in an 1hr.
When I talked to you on the phone a couple of weeks ago I told you I was in and out of the Milwaukee show in 30 minutes. Just making sure its not the same scene.

This show is much larger and as stated above all the big guys come to the show for the largest award of the year. It takes about 3 hours to walk the halls and really look at cars. If there is some cool stuff this year it can take longer its usually worth the trip.

Yeah, in Milwaukee there are maybe 10 cars you would spend any time looking at. That is including the pro built stuff. Cool part this year was Roger Ritzow's Troy built Chrysler. Last year the Ring Brothers had Razor there. There is some cool stuff here in Wisconsin, but it is few and far between. When my car is one of the nicer ones around, it puts things in perspective.
