Where's the irony in that?

You live in one of the largest cities in America, downtown nonetheless, where if you want to get anywhere you have to drive, hence when you drive, DUH, there is traffic!

hop on the blue line...it has a stop like 4 blocks away

but then i'd have to either take a bus to the blue line or drive down to the loop so i can park the zuk in the garage and get on... i'm not a fan of the cta, it owned me the first 7 or 8 years i lived here, and i'd do just about anything to avoid it.

and your point is...?

I was at the show on Thursday, Friday and for an Hour on Saturday (open to public). For the RC car guys I felt it was a wast of time. RCX was way better. However, I got to drive the new 4x4 Slash and it was great. It jumped flat and only had minor push in the turns. The new Traxxas Slash tires are not bad at all! The new Duratrax Dirt Bike looked cool and looks to work very well, but the detail is poor! I would still buy one to run it at the MX track. Losi truggy? Meh!

For the Father Son thing, the show would be great. As a buyer for the RC car dept of http://www.pmhobbycraft.ca , I felt the show was poor!

No Tamiya, Associated, Mugen, Ofna, Kyosho, X-ray, Yokomo!

Ok, now I don't feel as bad missing the show.................last year AE had a big booth!
