<VV> Parking at Buffalo convention

[mhicks130 at cox.net]

You're staying there for a month?  I'm only there for less than a week.  Buffalo is nice though so maybe it's not a bad idea.

I'm not being judgemental on the "cheap" statement, just stating the (obvious) fact.  I love that we're cheap.  It's one of the reasons I got into this hobby.  Our cheapness forces us to know more about our cars than those "just throw money at it" Corvette, Camaro, Mustang and Mopar guys.  We're clever and innovative because of it.  But it IS funny.  I loved it when they mentioned how cheap we are during the Barrett Jackson auction when the Rampside was on.  I'm proud of our cheapness!!!  Dammit.

I have only been to 2 convention/shows so far, the Vair Fair and the Pennsylvania mini convention last year.  We stayed at the host hotel in PA and it was great.  We could just walk from our room to the cars and the vendors and etc.  Plus we could leave our son in the room when he got bored because we could actually still see our room from where the cars were.  I realize that it won't be quite as cozy in Buffalo with things being a little more spread out but I decide (in spite of my cheapness) to stay at the host hotel.  I do plan on spending a buck or two with the vendors too.  In spite of the outrageous sales tax we'll be charged.  That's what all that personal debt we Americans are so fond of is for.

Do the math.   Even at 80  bucks/day (cheap for many host motels who 
end up with 'Vairs in the lot for a week) the monthly rate for a 
single room with two beds in it is still 2400 bucks.
