Has anyone gone to the auto show at BC Place yet - I'm thinking of making the trip from Victoria and wondering if it's worth while to see?

 

Personally I think it's just too my hype. Wow, y ou get to sit down in a Toyota echo. Plus you can't take very many good pictures as people walk by every 2 minutes. I'm not going this year.

 

ya so.... don't go... it really sucks a$$

i just went cuz i had a free ticket.... only saw a couple cool things like that canadian rocket car 800mph

there was also a lambo, and this dude had a 200 thousand $ porshe with a 53 thousand sound system i was more like "well **** son" haha umm nothing much there.... no hotrods, there were a couple vintage cars, oh ya.. they had a guy selling cobra kit cars, ummm yup

jag had there james bond car there.

i was suprised that weren't any T/As/Firehawks....

oh ya ford had some modern muscle with there "mach 1", "stage2 rough" and some super svt thingy with +600hp streetable.

so ya... i wouldn't go again.

 

No f-bodys so the only thing to look at is a vette. More family tin cans than anything else.

 

Thanks for the tips, I'll likely not bother making the trip

 

53 thousand dollar Porsche sound system?!?!!?
53 thousand!!!!!! YIKES!!! Mine was 5k and if you're in the back seat your ears feel like they're going to explode. For 53k...wow...what to expect

 

yup... some kid was takin a photo of the car thought the sunroof, and the strap was like in the car about 4" and the owner was like ya get away from my car.

it was very impressive, when u blasted it, u could hear it half way round bc place. lvl2 ring

 

There's a big difference between sound quantity and sound quality .

believe it or not you can spend 75k+ on a single pair of home audio speakers. Some people are true audiophiles and will spend insane amounts of money on high quality sound - insane if you ask me.

 

I went to the auto show, took around 150 pictures...

it was good, nothing new and exciting, they had a new RX8 that was dope, the new echo is really cool too (finally it looks decent for an economy car), had some nice BMWs, had only ONE expensive car, a lamborghini but no one was allowed to go near it.. and had a few hummers, and tons of imports and a crazy mach 1 mustang, and some gt's and cobras, and a very nicely done out thunderbird (lowered, with 18" rims and body kit)

 

So did they have any cool concept cars like the Pontiac G6 or the new Mustang concept???

 

How about the new 2004 Dodge Durango concept.

345 hp 5.7L Hemi Engine, AWD with 21's stock.

I am ready to trade in my old one and put a deposit on the new one.

 

That's Sweet

 

FWIW, I went to the AutoShow last night and I wasn't very impressed. Not a lot of exciting stuff.

 

told u so

 

You have to like the lowered Denali with 22's on it though. I was expecting to see an SSR, but was sadly dissapointed.
