Apologies for the terrible quality of all of these. Didn't bring my Nikon like an idiot. If I go to NYIAS my pics will be HQ SLR pictures.

Video has black bars because again, I'm a dumbass and was just really excited to be at an auto show.

I is surprised that they let you in the Porsches. DC didn't even have them, and I think that the one in Philadelphia locked them.

They only thing I tried to get in that was locked was a 2016 Explorer. Everything else I tried was unlocked. The Boxster you could hear going into gear.

It was unlocked and someone turned on the radio, lol.

My dad didn't like the seats, although I loved them and I'm taller and a bit wider. Maybe the taller part is why I liked them.

Lol, thought they usually disconnect that kind of thing.

I liked looking at the seats. They seemed comfortable from behind the glass window.

I like it how they left the G-Wagen and tons of more expensive and prestigious shit unlocked, but NOOOOO they have to lock the damned M4.

I thought so too but I guess not because both the 650i Gran Coupe M-Sport and the M4 had the radio on. They had S550 unlocked and and A8L TDI unlocked, along with an i8. Was in a very small area so I don't think they were too concerned to be honest.

You guys good all the cool stuff! In DC we mainly got the lower trim cars from what I saw.

We did get some good stuff. Although we didn't get either ST's or either Hellcats, we got a automatic EB Mustang, no Miata, and the GTI was a DSG, which isn't too bad I guess. An auto Corvette too.

NYIAS should be amazing if I'm able to make it there. Ford GT, LR/Jag, Aston, Maserati, McLaren, Lambo, Alfa, ND Miata hopefully, ST's and RS, Hellcats.

We actually got one Hellcat, Charger automatic. Couldn't get anywhere near it. It was on one of those turntable things. We didn't get the new Miata, but we did get the old one. Two or more GTIs though, all manual. We also got a manual Sportwagen which I actually forgot to look at up close. It's pretty seperated at DC, different floors for imports and American cars for the most part, and then American car flood is always completely flooded. We got a "prototype" facelifted Focus ST, which you couldn't sit in. But we did get like two Fiesta STs, and they actually left the shift knobs on this time.

The STi and BRZ they took the knobs off so it was weird using it. I was saddened to learn I didn't fit really at all in the Sonic RS, wheel was too low down at it's highest setting. Had the new Focus sedan and a Fiesta sedan. No Sportwagen, and only one TDI VW. They did have the e-Golf though. The Charger and Challenger were both autos. Most of the main building were the econoboxes with performance cars kinda sprinkled in here and there. Then there was the truck building with the luxuries on the floor above that.

Same, the regular WRX and the STi didn't have shift knobs. Sorta strange to use a short throw without one. The BRZ was surprisingly automatic also. I was surprised by the interior of the Sonic RS, the seats were excellent for me.

It was odd using it with the screw things there. And I was just too tall for the RS. GTI, although different class, was good seating position.

Yup, the other thing about the RS was that the build quality was so strange. Some parts of it felt great, and some not so much.

Is the Syracuse auto show any good? I ask because usually I go to toronto for the auto show, but it's about the same distance as syracuse, so if you get all the good stuff, it's probably better because of less people.

It was pretty good. Unfortunately it was only the weekend. They had pretty much everything but the Hellcats and ST twins. Also not a lot of major stuff because it's not a huge show by any means. There weren't many people at all though. Pretty much every luxury manu except Jag/LR was there.

Yeah i wasn't planning on going this year, but maybe future years if I can't go with my bro in toronto. Toronto is always a zoo.

I'll probably go again next year, so you could possibly come down for it. I'm trying to go to NY in April so I could give a bit better of a comparison if I go to that.

Ok sounds good.
