Auto Rama 2012

Went on Friday when it opened. Wasn't really feeling that great so I didn't stop and talk to too many people. Did get to chat with Josh at Brown Dog for a minute, he had a damn nice display downstairs with a lot of really well done sculptures. There was about 10 cars there that we've wired up,was really cool seeing them including the black 33' Ford at the American Speed Company display that just got back from taking second place at the LA Roadster Show :D
Team Detroit Racing had a great display. Saw Dan there but only got to say hi to him for a second, also saw Rick at the Livernois display. A couple other customers had displays there too, was nice seeing that.
Some pretty damn cool cars there but a whole lot of the same stuff from all the previous years. I don't know if I'll be going back next year, they'll probably want $20 a ticket and $12 for a beer on top of the $10 just to park on the roof.
 
Went yesterday afternoon. Decent show overall. Except running intro Trunk... But I kid...
The best part is always who you run into...

Good thing you didn't go Saturday morning to Cobo Joe's with the group I was with. Now that was expensive, well at least for the people that actually paid over their share of the tab

I will be getting separate tabs from now on, no more free rides on my dime :rolleyes:
 
I just got back. I walked through rather fast but did see quite a few nice cars. I also seen a few cars that should not have been there. I stopped and talked to Josh from Brown Dog Welding. His display looked Great.

Yeah, I paid $80 for 3 beers, 3 jack-n-cokes and some mini tacos. Tom had 3 beers and 3-4 jager bombs and threw in $100. Some how the math didn't add up, but I've learned my lesson.

Not a problem, got them from my cousin Mike. He had a couple extras.
 
That's why I said to you 7 x's to let me see the bill, I would have split it up for you penis. I put in 40 for a bloody Mary, 3 beers and an $8 sandwich.I assume the beers were 6 at most so I put in 8-12 towards tip. You probably didn't help yourself at all by holding the entire bill hostage from everyone, just saying! Definitely feeling the effects today!

Sounds to me like you are whining.

Damn, Jim and I should have stuck around for one more round since you were picking up the tab. :cheers:

Yeah because I'm known for being such a cheap ass when it comes to stuff like this.

All I know is Jerky's $28 tab sure didn't get paid with the $25 he put in. I'll be sure to get my own tab that way I don't get screwed. At least I didn't have to smell Chrome, I guess that should be worth something
 
^^^^.......everybody should know better than to get the big guy riled. i'll bring the usual suspects up your way and we'll make sure the buzz, and the bill is equitable....sound fair?.....

you're the only one at the table who knew what the bill was that's your own fault! I'll drop off money to you for his next time I'm in A2. That brings your bill down by about 8 buxs! Next time let go of the bill when people ask for it lol
 
You are funny Jim, I like you. I think I kicked in $70, not sure if that was enough tho!

Thanks for the drinks and badass mini tacos Matt!

Ps. Thanks for the Millers, Matt Reese cup flurry and driving my sorry ass around 2!

next year we'll know better.....:lol:
 
It's the principle, not the money. After I threw in our money I walked away. I have no clue happened to the bill. I'm just done with the group bill. Its always the same. Im not saying you didn't pay your far share though.
