I went last year and it was a blast! Got a room late at the Golden Phoenix downtown and it was only $27 a night! And the place was fine. Alas, I think it's been reduced to rubble or is being renovated, and the handwriting was definitely on the wall a year ago. If I had known what this event had to offer, especially at the big swap meet, I would have planned better to haul some car related stuff home.

Gotta say it's probably more fun if you have a classic car to drive around in as it serves as an ice breaker for connecting with other collectors. Won't be going this year but next time I do, it will be in a fun car that can be a part of the nightly cruising scene downtown.

I highly recommend this event to anyone into cars, there are all kinds, including crazy tricked out hearses, "jaws" cars etc. Something for everbody whether you're into showroom condition or project cars and anything in between, and they are all over town day & night for the duration.
