Yes! I was here again this year! The best part was the Firebird & Camaro exhibit… I couldn’t stop taking pictures! My dad owned an 83 or 84 (he has major memory issues, so I don’t think I’ll ever know) T-bird with a t-top… loved sitting on top of that thing. Black paint, gold chicken I got to see “my” car… the luxurious Equus from Hyundai! I felt right at home in a car that cost 63000. Also, the Genesis was alright. My favourite had to be the Challenger, although I do like the “bigger mouthed, angrier looking” (as a friend of mine puts it) as well.
