I'm going on media night courtesy of Scion buds. Fewer crowds + free food = present.

We don't get all of the concepts b/c shows are rated according to attendance, space and media exposure. Portland is a B list show, nothing wrong with that, but the logistics involved to transport the big show display (we get the small show display) don't compute for our relatively small metro demographic.

OTOH, we do get many of the traveling brolly girls seen at the big shows, so all is not lost.

NickFRS 01-28-2014 01:42 AM

Alright 10am = auto show 12pm = darrens it looks like.

I think I'm going to have to skip out on the show...Sunday mornings are church for me

thehapaone 01-28-2014 03:38 AM

I might go Saturday though since I have no plans for Saturday yet

Mongo 01-28-2014 02:37 PM

I'm in.

I'm gonna grab coffee @ the Starbucks across the way before hand if people want to meet up first. Might make the herding of cats easier if we meet up first

There is plenty of parking @ Starbucks if we want to attempt to roll up to the parking garage together.

That's what I was thinking :bonk: I think that early coffee might be a better solution then food.

You got my hopes up man. I thought they were open :cry:

Made a facebook event since there are lots of locals who don't check up on the forum! We need to figure out a meet location before the show. like 8:30am-9am ish somewhere so we can park n chat before we get pushed into the crowds.

torqdork 02-06-2014 07:08 PM

A few random pics of a special exhibit by the Mexican restaurant.

That black C7 was amazing.

Your Monogram spoiler pic shows the mismatch clearly.

What is this car? I missed it...

Oh, I didn't visit the Hyundai exhibit.

Yeah, I was embarrassed for Scion with that spoiler mismatch.

I'm out on going tomorrow morning. I can't even get out of my driveway!
