Car and Truck Show (Mar 11-15)

[msommers]

Just a reminder the annual Calgary Car and Truck show is a little less than a month away. Anyone looking at anything in particular??

Where do you guys usually buy tickets?

[killramos]

I'll go as always. You can get free tickets from dealers if you know people cant you?

Last years show led to a new car so i hope i can restrain myself this year...

[Nismorphed]

Going to take a look at the new focus St

[msommers]

I'm closely looking at the Fiesta and Focus this year. Maybe Audi will have the A3 hybrid wagon I keep reading about.

[Canmorite]

I'll go like every year, but it'd be great if they started including other new models. Ford Focus RS, etc. Including the same cars you can see on any lot can be dull.

I hope the ND Miata is there.

I hope MB actually brings some AMG's to the show. Last year was embarrassing. also send salesmen who aren't complete dingbats. One didn't know what an AMG was. Fuck sakes.

Although the show is underwhelming year after year, i will most likely still attend. Not a bad way to burn a few hours sitting in and looking at a large variety of vehicles that i cant be bothered to view at the various dealers.

[Xtrema]

I go no matter what. But I doubt there are any new releases this year that I'm itching to see.

Attendance is my birthday present to myself each year as it usually falls on or around the show weekend. I just have to leave the wallet at home.

[Canucks3322]

You can a buy a vehicle with what's in your wallet? Lol. .. great way to go and check out the interiors of cars I'm interested in!

Haha, all you need to buy a car these days is a SIN number and a piece of photo ID

It's either "SI Number," or "SIN." The N is redundant.... You don't say "ATM machine" and "ABS system" do you??

Pretty much the only reason to go. If you're thinking of getting a new vehicle in the next few months, it's a good spot to get a first impression of what you're looking for without having to drive around from lot to lot.

This is one of the best parts of the year. Hope the Renegade will be there.

That is such a weird thing to get hung up on

I would say both "ATM machine", and "ABS System"... because if you said "AT Machine" or "AB System", nobody would know what the fuck you are on about, lol.

This is your AB system!
But I already have a gym at home, I don't need another AB system!! Why does my car have an AB system!!!!! AHHHHHHH

SIN is a universally recognized acronym, you don't hack it up because of redundancies. If I say "SI number", people are going to think I am talking about a numerical prefix, as SI is the universally recognized acronym for values in metric.

All true was just pointing out how there are so many redundancies in our language. Thanks for taking the joke like a champ!
