Howdy -

Any interest in gathering for a trip to the Philly auto show? Believe it runs from 1/20-ish until the end of the month or into Feb.

NEWS RELEASE
Attention Philadelphia: It’s Time to Find Your Vroom!
--2013 Philadelphia Auto Show returns January 19-27 and will be bigger than ever--

E. Norriton, Pa., January 7, 2013 – The Automobile Dealers Association of Greater Philadelphia (ADAGP) is proud to announce the return of the Philadelphia Auto Show to the Pennsylvania Convention Center from January 19-27.

“We are back and bigger than ever,” said Michael Chapman, chairman of the Philadelphia Auto Show. “The display floor of this year’s event is a sprawling 630,000 square feet of everything automotive, which is up 30,000 square feet from last year. This increase makes our 2013 Philadelphia Auto Show our biggest yet. Picture 11 football fields filled with every kind of car or truck you can imagine, and that is our 2013 event. Philadelphia, it’s time to find your vroom!”

The Show’s expanded display floor, which has grown by 100,000 square feet in just two years, will now utilize Halls A thru E of the Pennsylvania Convention Center as well as Hall F for the DUB Show Tour and the iconic Grand Hall where Mercedes-Benz and Lexus will return to host their displays for 2013. In addition, two ride-and-drive opportunities will take place indoors, hosted by Toyota and Jeep respectively, and outdoor test drive offerings from Cadillac, General Motors, Hyundai, Kia and Subaru will also be offered.

“We are thrilled by the increased interest from manufacturers to host ride-and-drive opportunities at our event,” said Mike Gempp, director of the Philadelphia Auto Show. “This increased interest and the growth of our show are parallel to the recent growth of the industry. Enhancements by the manufacturers, such as interactive ride-and-drive opportunities, are truly a testament to what auto shows are all about, which is putting consumers directly in touch with all of their vehicle options in one location. Some come to dream, others come with a notepad. In either case, it’s an informative and enjoyable day for all.”

As one of the nation’s biggest auto shows, the Philadelphia Auto Show has a proven track record of influence on consumers in the region. In 2012, nearly 91 percent of attendees in the market for a new vehicle reported that visiting the Auto Show influenced their next purchasing decision, according to exit surveys.

“Auto shows have never been more important,” said Kevin Mazzucola, executive director of the Automobile Dealers Association of Greater Philadelphia. “The auto industry is experiencing its best annual sales rate since 2008, partly because the average age of a vehicle today is 10.8 years old, which is the oldest it has ever been. People are returning to the market, and manufacturers are competing every day to gain that consumer market share. With that said, when you have an event like the Philadelphia Auto Show that literally allows guests to check out every major vehicle manufacturer side by side, it is an invaluable experience not only for consumers that are shopping, but also for manufacturers that are competing. “

Specific highlights of the 2013 Philadelphia Auto Show include:

Pre-Production and Green Models
For consumers who want to catch a glimpse of vehicles that will soon be available in dealerships across the region, the Philadelphia Auto Show is the perfect place to view the latest pre-production models. Examples of 2014 models that will be on-site at this year’s event include the Acura RLX, Chevrolet Impala, Ford Fiesta, Ford Transit Connect Wagon, Jaguar F-TYPE, Jaguar XFR-S, MAZDA6, Porsche Cayman, Subaru Forester, Ford Fusion Energi and Land Rover Range Rover. Some of the hottest models in the ever-popular green technology sector will also be on display, including the 2014 Audi A6, A7, A8 and Q5 TDI models, Ford C-MAX Hybrid and C-MAX Energi and Ford Fusion Energi.

Concepts, Classics and Exotics
A chance to see both old and new, the Philadelphia Auto Show will again offer guests the opportunity to view some of the latest concept models to hit the market, such as the Lexus LF-LC, as well as some favorite exotics and beloved rides from yesteryear. The Aston Martin DB9 Convertible, Bentley Continental GT Speed, Lamborghini Aventador, Maserati Quattroporte and Rolls-Royce Ghost are just a few examples of some of the exotics that will be on display. The Show will also proudly welcome McLaren to the display floor for the first time ever. Guests will be treated to the East Coast debut of the McLaren 12C Spider at the manufacturer’s exhibit. Examples of classics that will be on-site courtesy of Buckingham Concours d’Elegance, Burn Prevention Foundation Concours d’Elegance of the Eastern U.S., LRA Auto Museum, New Hope Auto Show and Simeone Automotive Museum range from a 1905 Queen Model E Light Touring and 1931 Lincoln K Murphy Dual Cowl Phaeton to a 1963 Jaguar Roadster and 1967 Corvette Coupe.

Philadelphia Auto Show “Face-Off”
New for 2013, local Mustang and Camaro clubs will compete in the first-ever Philadelphia Auto Show “Face-Off.” The clubs will proudly display their best cars on-site at the Show and after visiting both displays, attendees will vote for their favorite at the on-site kiosks. All attendees are encouraged to monitor the Philadelphia Auto Show’s Facebook page for voting updates and to see who will be declared the winner.

DUB Show Tour
Hosted by DUB magazine, the premier publication of the urban automotive lifestyle, this year’s DUB Live exhibit at the Philadelphia Auto Show will include 70,000 square feet of the hottest customized rides and celebrity vehicles today. This special feature will be located on the lower level of the event.

Philanthropic Giving
Continuing the tradition and demonstrating the heart of the automotive industry, the 2013 Black Tie Tailgate will take place on Friday, January 18, from 7:00 p.m. – 11:30 p.m. at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

Proceeds will benefit the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia through the Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation. This event is open to the public.

In addition, the ADAGP will continue its giving throughout the entire show by also donating $2.00 from every Auto Show ticket sold to the Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation, which will use the funds to run a number of important programs throughout the year that benefit area children in need.

Could be a fun drive - meet down @ Keith's, pile into BP's sedan, hit Philly. Or find some meeting point at some rest stop somewhere, roll out together.

Sounds like effective training to me. Hops - it's gotta be healthy. Barley - isn't it an oat of some sort? Water - enough said. Yeast - at the worst this is health neutral. That's all that's in beer that you need to worry about!

Well this is really coming together now, isn't it!? Beautiful!

And what the frack is a polyphenol and why would I ever care about it? If it's in beer, I don't wanna know it.


BP - don't want you to do all that driving in one day. I'm in north-ish jersey (exit 140something off parkway) - you're welcome the night before we head down. All sorts of beds @ not my house that I'm staying at.

Thanks for the offer! It all depends on how long it takes to get to derty Jersey to pick y'all up and head over, do our thang, and head back. I will most likely be taking you up on this to make it a fully productive day. :thumbsup

Polyphenols are powerful antioxidants present in beer-- especially hoppy beer.

55 minutes from my front door via 30 minutes of twisting back roads and 25 minutes on the AC Expressway.

Philly is fairly central to all of us. Might be better off just meeting in the city?

Parking in a city usually is 1) a PITA, and 2) sometimes costly, depending on the city. If you want to do that, then alright, otherwise I have no problem chauffeuring. Would be nice to take a trip with someone to talk to!

Agreed. I'm just thinking geography.

Marc is 90 miles north of me. Philly is less than 60 miles west of me.

We'll get it worked out. No worries.

I'm fine with driving/parking if need be. I go to Philly often. Parking isn't that bad.

Once we know who's in we can come up with a game plan.

Shaping up to be a good time.

If I can stay with you, then consider the driving no problem at all. Bowling and driving are my PASSIONS, so trust me, if there's a way to convince y'all to let me ferry some of the most awesome people I know, I will find do it!

So the game plan would be:
1) pick up Marc
2) pick up Keith
3) auto show (of course pick up anyone else that requires it)

Then a trip to the spot for "a" beer,

Then drop off Keith
And finally crash at Marc's


Do I have it right?

OR you could:

1. Drive down Friday night
2. Get your ass whooped @ GT5

We'll be fine, guys. It's not gonna be a blizzard, assuming we get anything at all.

I'm still game Marc, you still want to get schooled in GT5 on friday? :)

Need an address so I could look up how long it'll take to get there. Didn't see any contact info in the contacts thread... Could you please PM me?

What am I missing? Weather.com says snow shower friday.

When I wrote that this morning the models were showing potential for 7-12" for the northeast and weather.com said "Potential Heavy Snow" for Friday.

The models have backed off during the day. We'll see how it sets up.

Still not convinced the chance for a good storm is out, but it's trending that way. Tomorrow night will tell the tale.
Have at it if you're a weather junkie:

How the hell could you understand any of that gibberish on that site??? :biggrin
Brain got scrambled by the first paragraph. Maybe I need moar edumacation.

Forecasts for snow sometimes move to entirely different days. I'm hoping that if it happens, it happens either on Sunday or Thursday. I guess we'll find out soon enough!

I should have said, "like a well-oiled Rube Goldberg machine."

A well-oiled Rube Goldberg would just be silly.

I'm down in AC. The roads aren't too bad yet. Plenty of salt down.

I would think they'll be fine once the sun gets to them in the morning.

I'll report back after my travels home.

Let's see, coolest thing we saw was probably a McLaren MP4somethingorother and then a stripped chasis-only version. Saw an M6 GC in Frozen Silver, which was cool. Then Keith drooled on and in the new Honda Accord.

All the while, BP was looking for the Ford display whilst standing in the middle of the Ford display.

Scene: standing in the middle of the Ford display having just sat in the sick recaros in the Focus ST.
Me: Where's the GT 500?
BP: Well we have to find the Ford display!
Me: Really BP?

hahahahahhahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Great day and good times, gents!!

MB's car is SICK!! And she just sounds DIRTY!

After listening to that exhaust for a few hours I felt like I needed to go get tested for STDs.

I've been car researching all day (unfortunately for the wife, not for me).

Accord Sport, Mazda 6, Mazda CX5, Ford Fusion...

I did as well. Test results came back positive. Damn it, and I didn't even get down to the nitty gritty!
