World Of Wheels Suggestions.

Well I somewhat disagree, I think the promoter should make the show, not the participants. I mean if the participants make the show who needs the promoter?

But here are the things I would like to see:

1. If their is going to be celbs, make someone that something to do with cars. Screw the wrestlers and football players.

2. Maybe more imports, but less vets and stangs. I love mustangs, but I saw the same mustangs that were there the last I was, three years ago.

3. Lower cost. I understand I’m from redneckville, but if a person has two kids, they are looking at $40.00, just to get in (with parking) if they have coupons.

4. Lower the damn price of the t-shirts. $15.00-$20.00 for a kids t-shirt, that cost less than $2.00 to make is a little out there.

5. leave the daily drivers at home to drive.

6. leave the works in progress in the garage.

7. Add some events like the pit crew challenge, something to do for the kids other than look at cars. (I’m a big kid)

8. Less die-cast. I haven’t seen that much die-cast since I don’t know when.

9. If there going to have stripper entertainment, let them strip, otherwise find some other entertainment.

I know it’s a long list, and lots are going to disagree, but hey it’s my thoughts.

I gotta disagree with #6. Did you see the '69 Charger that was at the GIS Automotive booth? Sweet car, even if it was owned by a 13 year old. I’ll bet he is spoiled rotten.

I was unaware there were strippers there. :eek2:

i like the die cast but feel it should be in the lobby to buy on your way out of the show.

These are all great points, but cost of putting a vehicle in the show, as well as cost of parking, eating, & show entry are probably the biggest complaints of the PGH WOW. Plus the home show ruined the parking situation this year. I had to park 4 blocks away & push a stroller thru Ice/snow yesterday morning, while almost getting run over in an alley by an old fart in a lincoln. My 6 month old should not be subjected to that. There are plenty of parking lots around, but the two shows together pretty much filled them all up.

I went to the Detroit Autorama last year & it was about 3-4 times larger than PGH for the same money. Much nicer cars/trucks/bikes were on display & many Famous Builders too (Boyds, Rad Rides by Troy, Chip Foose, and others). Parking wasn’t bad either.

I had my truck there 3 or 4 years ago & they basically put me out along the wall & pretty much behind a display. Kind of insulting, especially when a daily driver with rust & a big stereo had a prime space about 25 feet from me. The layout of the new Convention center sucks. My truck was barely visible. I know it aint the sweetest vehicle there, but it was much better than alot of junk that had prime spaces. I was early, too, so I know it wasn’t from late arrival. My space was “assigned” before I got there.
