MCACN
 

Gotta love the weather in Chicago!!!

Re: MCACN
 

Couldn't make it from Milwaukee cars were spinning out all over near the airport I decided to turn around.

Re: MCACN
 

The city itself got rain,thanks to the lake warming the air.
The outlying Northwest suburbs got up to a foot of snow.Less as you go south.
We only 3.5".

Re: MCACN
 

We left WI about 7:45 and it was awful. Good thing we were in a vehicle with AWD.

Re: MCACN
 

Was snowing like crazy at my brother in laws place in Rockford. We all decided not to make the trip in today. Tomorrow is another day.

Re: MCACN
 

You people be careful -- looks like everything is moving into Mich and Can ... some places got over a foot of the white stuff.

How long did it take you to get there?

Re: MCACN
 

Every body knows the weather sucks in the middle of the country. Anyone care to comment on the black survivor 4300 mile LS6 Chevelle at the show?

Re: MCACN
 

I would love to comment on the survivor ls6 chevelle
But we have been stuck on the Tarmac at O'Hare
For over an hour waiting for a gate. Been stuck in St Louis all afternoon

2:15, normally 1:30.

Re: MCACN
 

I didn't think the roads were too bad.....considering we had over 9&quot; of snow at 6:30. We left Janesville at 7:20am and got there at 9:20. It usually takes us a little over a hour and a half but we were in my crew cab Silverado.

Re: MCACN
 

We got around 16&quot; of wet heavy snow an hour north of Chicago.
Hope the roads aren't too icey today, as I plan to go there this morning.

In Rockford there was a ton of snow too. I'm with you....hoping to make it there today. Was going to be there both days but s___ happens.

Re: MCACN
 

Sunny and clear in Chicago this morning. The show was great yesterday, I hope everyone who couldn't come yesterday makes it today. I saw Charlie, talked 409s w Verne, saw RSTs amazing display of Deuces, etc. the Hemi E body lineup is overwhelming......

Re: MCACN
 

Verney was there? He is a good man!

Re: MCACN
 

the show was as great as always!!! We drove in from Michigan early Saturday...stayed in the hotel!!! awesome show!!!

Re: MCACN
 

Ended up going to the Bears game instead....last minute thing. I wish I would have gone to MCACN instead but there's always next year.

Re: MCACN
 

Excellent show as usual. The low mile LS6 was really nice. It survived very well.

Plenty of Mopar presence at this show as well.

Hats off to Bob Ashton and company.

The black one being judged for Vintage Certification was spectacular for sure but I really liked the blue no stripe, no cowl, bench seat one in the LS6 display. I think it was also a +/-4,000 mile unrestored original.

LOL....not really. I was all for the Broncos. Ever since the Bears management decided to stay the course with that highly overpaid Cutler, I have been staying the course with my other teams....the Broncs being one of them.

Re: MCACN
 

View from our hotel room, over 100 flights cancelled. It was a GREAT show!!!

Re: MCACN
 

I already reserved my Doubletree room for next year with my Hilton Honors points! I didn't have enough for this year!

Re: MCACN
 

Once again.....THANKS to Bob and all the others involved with the show, ya knocked it out of the park. What a show!!! And like I say to all who are into muscle cars &quot;if you only hit one car show per year, this is it.&quot;

Also a big thanks to all who trailered their cars to and from the show!

Taking into account the ugly weather, how late did it get before all the cars were out of the convention hall?

Re: MCACN
 

I was there until close to 1:00 a.m. Sunday night and there will still a lot of cars left. Back in before 6:00 a.m. Monday morning and still had to be at least 50 cars in there. Sunday night the big trucks clogged everything. Monday I got in but had a hell of a time getting back out because all the trucks blocked the doors and had to go against traffic to leave. Great show none the less and I felt the display was a huge success. I just wish for MCACN's sake the weather had been better. The cars were once again outstanding and to anyone who was on the fence whether they should have attended, your loss. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

Re: MCACN
 

Don't miss next year. I don't mind the cold weather for a weekend and it's good to see old friends, not to mention great cars. My wife and I hopped on the &quot;L&quot; and Rosemont is the first stop. It's a $5 ride on the Blue Line.
