NOVAgearhead is a glorious beacon of light

Washington car show

http://www.washingtonautoshow.com/events/index.asp

Anyone attending?

If so dates and time -

maybe we organize something?

* Just looked through the models. Wow, what a weak turnout. Only 2 concept vehicles - a BMW and a Accent. PS - No P cars either.

I'd go if someone has tickets to share. But somehow I think the show won't quite live up to my first SEMA last fall.

Anyone know if they are showing the F458 and new GT3 RS? I understand the economy is bad but wondering they will bring some eye candies.

EDIT: Ugh... just by looking at the website, economy seems to be really bad because they didn't even bother bringing any exciting rides.

To be honest the DC auto show has always been pretty ****e, then again I'm used to Birmingham and Earls Court.

The DC show is always very weak. Its geared towards the "Green" crowd, not motor heads like us. I'm going ahead of time on press day, I'll let you guys know if its worth it or not.

Question: Why do you think the DC auto show isn't as flashy as the other shows.
