I was planning to go Fri but the weather is not looking to good. I LOVE THE AUTO FAIR. I have only missed 4 out of the last maybe 15 or so. But that is one cold, muddy, miserable place in the rain. I will never go on Sat or Sun again. That is too much of a crowd both on teh highway and at the show. I will keep an eye on the forecast and if it changes I will go. The Charlotte gang goes every time and has an exhibit/show area.

My club will be showing both days but I personally can't stand the event. The one thing you can always count on with AutoFair is that it will rain at least one day.

We'll be there, with a big fat "For Sale" sign on the Vette 
If it sells, we'll be looking for a red M6 C5 vert with a black top next...
If it doesn't sell, guess it'll be time to mod it up
Look forward to seeing some of you there
*crosses fingers for good weather*

But I'll probably just stick with my sense of humor.

Just got back from Charlotte. Lots of stuff (and junk) like usual at AutoFair. Rained sporadically the whole day, kind of stunk that way. Maybe I'll get a chance to go back on Sunday if the weather is better.
