Allow an hour or so for us San Diego folk to get up there - AKA no 8 am curtain calls.

i'm really fine eitherway. I'd rather go against my personal preference and have more people be able to attend. Let's just get an idea of what works best for everyone and go from there.

I'm open on either weekend. Also, maybe we can setup at something like meet at a remote location near the convention center at 10am, then arrive at the ticket booths at 11am so we can take advantage of the discount coupons. The limitation of the discount coupon is that you can't use it on the weekends between 12 noon to 4pm.

If money is an issue, keep in mind that there is free parking on most the side streets downtown LA after 2:00 on Saturday, and all day on Sunday.

Don't listen to me.
I'm up for Either Sat. But I can not make it on a Sunday. Let me know when.
BTW-I will be short on funds too. So the cheapest option (parking and enterence fee)is good with me. If you have coupons save me one. Thanx!

Also, you LA people:
Can you please stop by your Chevron dealer starting in December to stock up on the discount coupons for those of us not in the area?
Thanks!

As long as we go on a weekend, im good.
But, if were voting, i would tend to lean toward the 10th and 11th, but that's just my 2 cents.
also, as far as parking goes, is it safe? I dont want to walk out of the show to see my car has been messed with or dinged up, or scratch'd. This would just ruin the fun!

I would like to get a date finallized pretty quick so I can make plans.

I stand by the 10th - I really want to have some money available for food, gas, and parking and I don't see it coming in before then. If money was no issue I'd go the 3rd but since it is I have to vote the 10th

I vote Sat 3, but I'm also fine with Sat 10.
I'm willing to handle any local logistics since my office is about a mile from the convention center.

I suggest we meet about a mile away from the convention center, near the University of Southern California.
I'm going to talk to the university, and see if I can borrow a parking lot for the meet. But, there is also a big shopping center across the street that will be virtually empty on a Saturday. It has a few places to eat, but nothing fancy (Denny's, Subway, and the like).

How many miles is it from Raleigh, NC to USC?
Ok ... I checked Raleigh->LA ...
2590 miles ... 39 hrs ... I am pretty sure I can cut that to 36
But what's the fun ... I already did that route round trip TWICE in my '86 CRX Si Did I mention that car made me a Honda fan?

Here are some bits of information that will help me find a parking lot to meet:
1) What do people want to do about food (is having fast food places nearby enough, or do you want me to find something better)?
2) How many people are going to make it?
3) What time?

1) I'm fine with fast food, but a restaurant is cool too. I figure with having to pay for tickets/gas/parking most people will be down to eat cheap.
3) On saturday the show opens 9am until 10:30 at night. EDIT: I agree with steve on not wanting an early wakeup. How about a 12 noon meet up?
2) I am definitely in. If you are going to attend please post.

2. I plan on being there.
As for the others... 
3. I'm voting for early afternoon as I have a hour and a half drive and I'd prefer not to have to be up at 9 AM on a weekend. Let's say either 1:00 PM or 11:30 AM?
Are there any LA people working on getting us those discount passes from the LA area Chevron dealers? They may have a time restriction on them that would affect this.

Traffic near convention center will be a nightmare during the weekend of the LA Auto Show. Imagine you're in line waiting to get into the parking structure (let's say about 500 feet), you could be stuck there for at least 20 minutes.
