TO autoshow

[MartiniGirls]

Is anyone else going?, I am in the market for something topless for summer, but is the show really worth my time?, I could probably go to the three mfg dealers quicker then wondering around the whole show? Do the pitch men at the show actually know more then the dealer sales people?

I enjoy good mileage too

I need something that good on gas though too, for some reason i find myself driving around town some days, droping things off, picking them back up about an hour later, hopefully two. Those volvo convertables are kinda nice.

Darlin,

Gas milage is relitive but not the only true consideration. A jeep is at home on the side of a mountian where only goats tend to go. And just at home shuttling you about town in full evening wear.

Go on a weekday

Go to the show on a weekday or weeknight.....you can actually find reps to talk to.....they usually aren't as pushy as salesmen.....you can get closer to the car.......and because of no crowds...you can do the entire show in a few hours.....on the weekend its a zoo and practically impossible to see everything in one day.

If you see a guy hidden in the trunk of a showcar masturbating then thats YYC.

 

[to-guy69]

Topless? Is he aware that we have maybe 6 weeks so callled summer here in T.O.?

 

[goodtime]

Go weekday for sure

If you want to check out many cars in 1 place. The Mazda Miata and Honda S2000. Miata is nice topless for females but neither the best in snow. S2000 had tough gearbox in stop n' go traffic but fixed that last 2 yrs. The Golf or Bimmer 3 are alternatives. IMO, Volvo is not as sexy for female driver. It's safe but pricey if parts break.

Had a Golf with Sunroof, had the roof opened for most warm winters. I was the guy going down DVP enjoyed the morning rays and the nighttime stars, yes in winter. T.O. winter is nothing compare with neighboring provs/states.


I was thinking of starting a post on Mid-life crisis seeing people are getting different vehicles to get themself that change.

I have my eyes on a Corvette C4. Used to be Viper. Not that I want to drive one to my fav MP as I become trackable given few of them around.

every car maker you can think of is at the show with all their new models and concept cars.

GM went all out this year. They even have a concert stage with bands and a dance floor.

It's alot easier to go and see every car you can think of all under one roof.I've been down there the past week and can tell you there is ALOT to look at.

 

[torex]

yup

$20 a head.

Most of the staff you see at the booths are Sales people from the various dealers in the area. The reason they aren't as pushy is because they can't actually close any business there. The most they can do is chat and hand out cards so it's a good chance to really look at the cars...plus the competition is all right there too!!!

The others are made up of reps from Corporate office as well as some "actors" and models who are used during actual presentations. I know this because I used to work in the business.

Good luck with your search!!!

I think you can find $5.00 off coupons around town (last year anyway).

Last year, I picked up some at the parts counter at Popham Pontiac Buick on one of my weekly trips to buy parts for my PIECE OF SHIT GM product. (I am on a first name basis with the parts guys there.)

There's a ton of vehicles out there that are topless and as always, your choice of vehicle will depend on many factors:

purchase or lease costs
maintenance costs (imports and high ends will cost more)
use (while a jeep is a great vehicle it is totally diff than a convert. vette)
insurance (this can be as high as 25% of the value of the vehicle)

With that being said the mustang ragtop just won car of the year and with the new retro look they are pretty hot vehicles. Remember though whichever vehicle you buy unless you have traction control, rear wheel drive vehicles will suck in a good snow storm.

Good luck in your search and let us know what you decide or thinking about....
