Dallas Auto Show 2009

Any one interested in going? I went last year and got to see the GTR, so I'm guessing they'll have a few other nice things to look at.

Times:
• Wednesday: 4 to 10 p.m.
• Thursday: 4 to 10 p.m.
• Friday: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
• Saturday: 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
• Sunday: 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Ticket Prices:
• $11 for adults

I'm going. But I am not taking my 8.


Does anyone know if they will have custom cars? or is it just production models. I heard last weeks fort worth one was only production cars... and that's kinda lame.

What about vendors?

I've never been, but if its going to only be production cars, there is no way I am going to pay 11 dollars to go see that. I figured the dallas one was like one of the big ones that showed prototypes etc.

I don't know. I've never been to the Dallas one.

I sure hope so because I don't want to see lame production cars...
I have a feeling there will be some tight custom cars that people can show off. That's really what I want to see. New ideas and a lot more fun to look at.

The Dallas Auto Show is a gathering auto manufacturers to promote their latest line ups. A large majority of the show is dedicated to production cars along side a few concept cars. From what I understand, this year the DAS will be joined by aftermarket manufactures to promote aftermarket parts along side their auto manufacturers. There is usually some space dedicated to various auto groups with custom cars, but the focus of the show is to see the latest model line ups along with new cars.

I have been the last few years and I have always enjoyed it. If you are looking for a custom auto show then you need to go to Hot Import Nights
HIN

I plan on going, probably going to make it out Sunday night.

I think some of us are plannng on heading down there around 4. Y'all want to just meet there at 4 right by the ticket booths? Or do we want to meet inside incase anyone wants to get there earlier?

I probably won't be there until 4 so if y'all want to meet me by the ticket booth, works for me.
