World of Wheels Pittsburgh 2013

This past weekend we went to the Pittsburgh World of Wheels.  It seemed to me that there were more cars there this year than last year.  Very nice turn out of cars considering the weather outside.  It had been a very cold & snowy beginning to the weekend & we lot that perhaps a lot of cars would not make it to the show.  But they proved us wrong. 

 

They have two floors of cars.  We headed to the first floor after purchasing our tickets.  The prices weren't too bad.  As we walked along the first floor, though, the lights went off.  Not sure exactly what happened, but we waited for a few minutes & the lights did eventually come back on.  Once the lights came back on, we headed over to were they had the Batmobiles displayed.  The original Batmobile sold at the Barrett-Jackson auction a few weekends ago for $4.2 million.  It was probably the highlight of the auction.

A lot of the cars really had some very nice displays.  The owners of those cars really took a lot of time & energy to display their cars.  The cars at the show were just excellent.  Not only were the displays well done, but the cars were immaculate.  The bodies of the cars shined, but so did the under-carriage & the engines.

The only thing that bothered us was the fact that other people just didn't seem to understand how much time & money go into these cars.  They are behind chains & ropes for a reason.  So that people can see but not touch.  Unfortunately we saw people touching.  A huge pet peeve of ours.  The first thing that we've taught our children, is to look at the cars & enjoy them, but never to touch. 

Overall, it was a very nice car show.  They had a lot of cars there & something for everyone.  The one thing that this show did was to make us hope that winter goes away soon so that we can take our cars out.  Spring-time, hurry up!
