Toronto Auto Show 2006
« on: December 07, 2005, 08:53:15 pm »
So who's going? Only 72 days to go!!!

Tickets are $5 off if you pre-order before the end of this year. I went last year and still didn't manage to cover all the cars in time. I'm looking forward to taking a very close look at some of the new VW models... AND I wonder which cars will be newly unveiled between now and then.

Well I asked Grant for a press pass and he said I would probably get one.  But my flight is already booked for Detroit, I fear Toronto will be a bore after Detroit :(

Yes I am still contemplating going, but the expense after Detroit may not be worth it.  We'll see.

It is a business expense….tax deductible and all. That is what I did last year.

Ummm sure but I still have to PAY for it.   I don't work on the theory of business expenses it's still money out of my pocket.  I won't be getting any money back from Mr. Gov this year, I will owe them lots :(

Haha.  Mine is pretty simple
Pay Stub In, Tax Out.  That's it, that is all. 

I'm contemplating deducting my laptop, Camera, and a few other things I bought recently that actually I use for this business, but we'll see.

Anyways, let's get off this topic, it's off topic!

I've done Detroit before... too busy, and not worth the extra hassle and expense to get there.  The Toronto Show has everything I need... plus a great group to attend it!  (and I typically get press passes, heh heh)...

 ;D

I can't wait.  Auto Show Season is known as "the OTHER Christmas" for me.  :)

Jeff, I'm going on press days though with a press pass so I don't think it will be THAT busy.  Grant mentioned the Tuesday was pretty bare with the opportunity to sit in everything.  Look for me in any car $100k+ :P

It will be long though 3 days!
