Hey,

I just got the below e-mail for NYIS(New York International Auto Show).  Seeing I am in CT it is a quick train ride to Grand Central to go see the lateset and greatest.  I was just wondering if any one here goes and if so does any one have the "Members Express".   If some one does is it yearly membership or monthly??  I am confused.  But just to gain access 1 hour before is worth it. 

What do you all think??


Early access to the Show floor, VIP lounges, and discounted merchandise are just some of the unique benefits of joining the New York International Automobile Show's new and exclusive Members Express Club™.

The Members Express Club™ is a preferred club designed to provide red-carpet treatment to its members at the Show, as well as a range of unique and exclusive special discounts and services year round.

Who wouldn't want to receive special consideration and a little "red carpet" treatment while visiting the show?  The Members Express Club™  has lots of great benefits and discounts that will make your show experience better than ever! 

Early Entry to Show on Fridays and Saturdays one hour before the general public:  This important benefit allows ticketed members entry to the Show floor an hour before it opens to the general public.  This is a truly unique experience and one that will appeal to people who prefer less crowds or who just like standing out above the crowds!

Special show entrances for ticketed Club members are part of the VIP benefits of membership.  Make this count by purchasing your tickets on-line, printing them out and avoid the long ticket lines typically found on the weekends. Just bring your e-tickets to these entrances at 10 am and go right in!  Everyone else will have to wait on line to enter at 11am.  But come on time to take full advantage of this great benefit!

VIP Lounges:  Access to not to one, but two VIP lounges everyday at the Show!

Dream Photo™ Exhibit:  Have your photo taken with a Lamborghini and receive $1 off the price of a regular photo and $2.00 off a photo taken with the Pirelli Girls!

"Super Speeders" DVD:  Pick up a copy of this sought-after DVD and receive a 10% discount.   All about exotic car street racing, this new DVD is a follow up to the popular  "1 Lap of NYC DVD".   This discount is only available to Club members at the 2006 NY Auto Show!

Sounds like it would be worth the money.

Sounds like a way for them to dupe somebody out of $20 more to get in the show.    Personally I wouldn't waste anymore then what you're already gonna get raped for the food, parking, etc. down there already.

Khyron and I hit the motorcycle show last month - he drove - otherwise I'd have taken the train myself.    Beware that digital cameras have a hard time taking pics of chick's butts indoors....  they come out a bit fuzzy.    You need a high end camera or take the old trusty 35 IMHO.
