Gun show?! This isn't the F-150 forum.
Do you guys know what makers are supposed to be at this show? How nice should it be? I'm trying to make my decision and right now it's Portland Auto Show vs. studying for accounting exam on Tuesday.

I went to the auto show last night. It was not a very good show at all. There were only about 5 exotic cars, these ar the only ones worth seeing, and they are off to the left side when you ehnter so you don't even have to pay to see those 
There is a Saleen, 3 or so ferraris, a vector, a diablo, and a couple lotuses. The have one of the older Exiges which is cool, and in my oppinion looks better than the new ones, and also weighs about 500lbs less while putting out 20hp more They have the new Saturn and Pontial roadsters, so bring a barf bag, at least for the pontiac one, the saturn looks pretty nice but still only does 0-60 in 7.2 seconds according to the rep with the mic. All in all Portland shows are not very exciting, we don't get many if any at all concepts, they had the dodge nitro (SUV) and the toyota SJ(SUV). Mercedes locked their AMG cars so you can't even see inside, and there was no SLR. The M roadster is back in the Z4 form but sports the standard M3 3.2L motor and not hte V10 out of the M5 as some people thought, also the looks of the new M roadster are pretty much the same as the standard Z4, no extra power bulges or flared fenders 
. There was a GT40 in the ford booth but it really wasn't that impresive in person. Couple new corvettes, surrounded by guys with nascar t-shirts and the smell of B.O. I brought my camera to the show but foundmyself wondering what would really be worth taking pics of. I took pice of the exotics, so I'll post those later. Just though it'd give you guys an idea of the show
