If you guys go as a group, maybe I'll come up and hang out with you this year. :)

(Maybe Random006, slybry and other Montrealers would be interested, too?)

Do you realize that in about 30 (updated as requested) years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos?

I went to the 2012 TO show for the first time and enjoyed it. Will likely go to the 2013 show. Nothing comparable in my neck of the woods.

I went to both Detroit and Toronto and found the car access much better at Toronto.

Alas, not I.  I might go the Montreal show, however.  My son likes to go on occasion.

Should he bow out, I would be open to spending a day at the show with the guys and gals of this here forum.  ;D

Since the net, I found the T.O. show's lack luster.
I've worked a few of them and just find the novelty is worn off or maybe the hype just overwhelms the real.
I still have some old photo's from and 80's show when TRV use to show vehicles here. Man they were cool.

I've gone to Detroit for the last 2 years and actually looking forward to getting back to the TO show. The driving events were the best, I've had a chance to drive a Sequoia and Rav4 off-road (I think in 2008 or 2009) and a few Mercedes-Benz models in the slush (2010?), including GLK, E-class, B-class and (unfortunately) the Smart ForTwo.

Why not?  Everyone's doing it.  You've got endless spare time and a deep well of creativity, right?  Lord knows you're a cunning linguist.
