Anyone going to Detroit auto show

Im planning on my yearly visit on monday leaving around 10 am or so. I will hope to be back no later than 10pm.
If anyone is interested we can do a convoy or meet there. After the show I'll be going to Trader joe's for a few things and a eat at Baja Fresh before I return.
I'll post my camera phone pics once I get back ofcourse.

I think correctly you will be shot then car jacked in that order.

However I know detroit to be a great place, its got some great areas out of town to see.

I think its more likey that evil will happen in Buffalo, ny.

Not nessesarly. You can get shot while walking to get help from the carjack. But then, you'll probably get robbed of your wallet and your $200 Nikes.

Worth the drive for sure, I went to the show 7 years in a row at one point. Having a bud or two splitting the gas helps. I went with the family one year and they were bored to tears while I went another guy I hardly knew a few years later, had the best time and to this day is a good bud of mine.
