So who all is going? I missed Detroit, dammit, so I am really looking forward to it.

Maaaaaaybe.  It's a really bad time for me work-wise, that's the problem.

I'll probably be going this Friday, mid-day to late afternoon/evening. Perhaps another week-day as well, not entirely sure.

There are some vehicles I'm interested in this year.

Just a lot of ordinary stuff I've put off looking at to see at the show.

I'll be there all day tweeting (twittering?) at www.twitter.com/mikeschlee .   Anyone not making it out to Toronto want details/pictures/information on any of the cars/trucks?  Since it is media day I can get clearer shots and more information than on regular days.

Do you know if there is any free parking for those less privileged?

lol, I don't get free parking.  Let me look into it, I don't know off the top of my head.  I know Nissan used to offer free parking, but I think they stopped.

You sure Mike?  I get free parking :P  But I'm not going.... head up to the media lounge and you can get a parking pass apparently.
