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:

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.
