July 2, 2006
I went to the DUB Show that was held at McCormick
Place and took as many pics as my little camera
could hold. For those of you unfamiliar with the
event it is a huge autoshow held by DUB Magazine.
It is a show that focuses on cars with big wheels,
custom paint jobs, and more electronics than a Russian
submarine. The term "Dub" comes from 20
inch wheels, which used to be the biggest size available
(the largest I saw in use at this show was 26").
The whole event was more work than I expected,
but worth it in the end. I was cheap so I parked
on the street at a meter that was free because it
was Sunday. That way I saved $16 from what they
were charging. I also got a coupon from a guy at
the show for $15 off the price of admission (which
was $5 better than the coupon I had). My hard work
made the show cost only a third of what it could
so I was happy about that.
Unfortunately they were not allowing video cameras
at the show so I had to dump most of the supplies
I brought with. I also had a hard time working with
the lighting in the center. Many of the pictures
appear graining or dark as a result. I used my digital
camera record some video. It wasn't much but I was
one of the few that walked away with anything decent.
The show was dominated by the Dodge Charger and
its twin the Chrysler 300C. There were also many
Escalades and older cars like Buick Regals. Many
of the owners were eager to show off their custom
rides but there were an equal number that were just
noticeably tired and wanting to head home.
