Haha we are trying to get our machine ready for a trade show in chicago. It ships out this week so we are scrambling to get everything done. After this week I should go back to normal hours.

I might still take sunday off and go.

You should just take a brake from working and come out. No need to loose out on overtime pay.

I am planning on getting there around noon...maybe a bit earlier depending on traffic and wife.

Sweet, I won't be due to my car being more of a driving car vs looking at it car (ie my car looks like ****).

Perhaps I'll see yous guys there tomorrow.

i had a decent time. it was a lot of junk there but there was some nice cars. i was surprised at how many people where impressed with the tubro miatas. it was almost like doing such a thing was unheard of. It was also nice to put some faces to the names on here.
