Nope, we haven't been invited or even contacted this year.

My guess is that the auto industry has been in a bit of an upswing. I'm sure some of the manufacturer's booths will be bigger this year and they want to use all of the precious floor space.

...and yes, Media Day is the day to go see the Auto Show!

Yes Tim, and yes, it was a good run.

We'll see what happens next year.

Ya. Tim (Tim right?) said the same thing when we met with him at the end of 2015. They were going to try and start rotating clubs in. We had 2 years, that was good.

Our contact at the Auto Show mentioned the first year we were invited, that it might be a three year rotation.

We were invited the first year (for the Mustang 50th Bday) and the Camaro club was left out as far as I know.

Weird. We had the exact same thought as well.

After last year's lack of enthusiasm for staffing the booth, I figured it was time for a break.

Same

Signing up now then

It's super easy. There's no media presence on day two, and little on day one, so they're lax about media credentials

01-18-2017 11:22 AM

Mook

Just sign up for a media pass. Hell, use TCG as the site. Done.

Try the first look for charity. Small crowd, many more cars are opened to sit in...and its open bar! Pricey, but fun.

Also, I've gone on a Friday night about 90 minutes before close and it wasn't bad.

Also, its really easy to apply for a media pass and go on media day. Just have to say you're a blogger. I agree with you, I cannot go when its packed...its miserable.
