    Is anyone attending this year's auto show? It's being held this Friday, Jan. 26 - Feb. 4 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center located at 801 Mount Vernon Place, NW, Washington, DC., 20001.

    I haven't been in about 15 years, prior to that I had gone every year. I heard that Competizione will have several cars on display including a Ferrari F50! Does anyone have any photos from last year's display? The auto show website only has a couple of photos from like the other side of the room.

    I’ll be going on the Military Day (Tues).
    Saw Richard yesterday and most of the cars they’ll be showing.
    That alone will be worth it.

    I went 5 years ago and it was a ho-hum experience in my opinion, not sure worth the admission price at all. I think a trip by Comp Cars would yield better results if you want to see some of the cars, if Cars is all you want to see.

    I received email on LandRover's set up and they will have an indoor course that might be pretty cool.

    I will stop by next week. The manufacturer displays can be quite good.

    I enjoy the powertrain cutaway models and interactive items.

    Last year, Competizione had a Miura displayed. It looked like a scale model compared to anything else there.

    Good friend gave the show high reviews this year. He didn't go into great detail, but said it was worth the trip, fyi.

    I went last year, but I didn't take many pictures. I'd just been to the Finali Mondiali in Florida, so I was feeling a bit jaded. :)

    I did take a few in the exotic room. That Muira's very pretty. Cool to see it's back again. Think I may skip the show this year, though. Seems like a great place to catch the flu.
