FP has a post about the 30th anniversary Miata and now I’m thinking about making a trip to Chicago this weekend, hopefully check out the Gladiator too . Anyone planning on being there?

Me and a buddy of mine plan to go Sunday, probably get there as early as we can to minimize the crowds. Probably between 10 and 11 am. Let me know if you’ll be there that day!

Do it. And report back. It’s funny that you missed your hometown one a few miles away , but would drive to Chicago...until you remember that the Chicago show will probably be much more worth the trip on a mile per mile basis.

Cool - I’ll buy you a beer (or other beverage of choice) if you make it!

The downside is I have a bad ball joint. Not immediately threatening but not encouraging for a long(ish) trip either.

Madame DeLorean and I will be there for the media preview tomorrow. She’s bringing her professional camera equipment so for the first time since I started coming as media ( 2010 or so) I’ll actually look like a legit publication. lol

Regrettably my Jeep doctor isn’t returning my calls. Grumble.

Maybe it’s time to rustle up a new J eep. Instead of a Jeep doctor, you need a Jeep wrangler.

I was planning on going this morning but it’s been too busy, and can’t make it tomorrow. Figure I’ll go one morning next week.

I don’t think it’s open to the the public until Saturday.
I wish I could go during the week to avoid some of the crowds, but that’d be a long drive from Indy on a workday . I miss my old job, could pretty much set whatever schedule I wanted.

I have media credentials, this will be the first year since 2013 I haven’t been able to make one of the media days. Ah well, I’ll still go at least, just won’t be able to get as close to some of the cars as I’d like but hopefully the weekday morning crowd won’t be too bad.

Nice. What does it take to get credentialed?

Basically nothing. There’s a media section on the website, from there you navigate to the application, fill out the info, and they’ll let you know if they approve you or not.

Iknorite? There are complaints that it’s not green, but the orange makes it much more distinctive.

A couple other shop teachers and I took Tuesday off to go check it out then.

Turns out the Miata is already sold out, so I may not go after all. Disappointed.
