1SICKREVIEW: The 2008 Atlanta Auto Show, with pics
I'll take tons of pics and come with my thoughts on not just the cars, but the automaker presentations and crowd reactions.
CL member CarbonGS has his car in a stand there.
If anyone wants a particular car scrutinized, please post, I'll be checking CL from the Tilt.
Hope to have the review done tomorrow, for your reading pleasure Monday morning
This thread will be then re-titled.

Okay I am going to try my best to make you feel as if you are there. One thing I am liking about MMarshall and others doing reviews, it pushes you to do better with yours. My hats to anyone that takes the time to do a review.
Time to go to the Auto Show, which is held at the World Congress Center here in Atlanta. There is a lot of roadwork going on downtown so I avoided it taking back roads. There is also 2 or 3 conventions as well as the "Latino Festival" going on so it packed.
Today the weather was around 70 with on/off showers.
I look for parking and decide to park in the deck if it rains. That was $10. I park near the gate so my car is near the workers. I park next to a beautiful C6 Vette, leaving a space between me and him (respect the Vette!!!).
I walk up and notice that WOW, the glass windows are still not replaced on multiple buildings!!! (see pics that are coming). That Tornado did some damage!!!
So I walk across the st into the World Congress Center. This place is HUGE and they continue to expand it.

I realize I don't have enough cash to get a ticket so I am also looking for an ATM. Following the signs, I walk seemingly a mile to get to the auto show area in conference hall C.
Its busy and wouldn't you know, $2.75 to use the ATM. No sense taking out $20, that would be over 10% in an ATM fee. So I take out $200, the bastards...lol.
I buy my ticket, which is $10.
Walk to the front, no line but it is busy. I get a bag.
