Anyone in?
Meet at the Exit 49 Park & Ride at Noon, and get back to the border around 9-10p, depending on whether or not people want to make any stops on the way back.
http://www.autoshow.ca
Tickets are CAD$20 at the door, or CAD$18 online.
Note: You'll need a passport OR drivers license AND an embossed copy of your birth certificate for the border.

I'll check my schedule and update this post so it's not a waste, but in case anyone's on the edge, this usually ends up being a good time.
If nothing else, you're in an awesome city and you have to drive within a mile or two of the Sundowner to return.
That'll all I'll add for now. _________________ Hi, I'm Matt. I'm the resident smartass and I have fourblack children: (ok, one's only half black..)

Hello everyone,
I have never been to a car show in Toronto.
Sounds interesting, if you do not mind a senior citizen tagging along.
Let me know about driving. I can not bring the Roadmaster Wagon, stuff in it, too bad, seats 7 comfortably.
Wife will not be happy but I can bring the 2008 Impala.
Let me know,
Sal |

This is the manufacturers international auto show with all the new models and concepts and stuff like that. Just about every brand name you can think of was there last year from Ferrari and Bentley to Kia. And we usually stop for a decent meal on the way home |

The Toronto show is huge. The entire convention center and the Rogers Centre. We usually spend about five hours there. There are lots of pictures from previous shows at http://media.unycgp.com/ from the last four Februarys. |

John, does "Tig bitties" mean you're in? Stimulating economic stimulation is a possibility....
One or two guys I work with want to go also. One is definite, and offered to drive (2008 Impreza...). I can drive also.
Sal, are mentioned you might be bringing a couple others, too?
How about we meet at the Exit 49 Park & Ride at Noon on Saturday. We can grab lunch across the border or at the show. |
