I went to the Sim Gaming Expo for the sim racing. I didn't expect the parking lot to be a car show.
Friday, the Schaumburg lot filled up with the attendees' own machines — daily drivers, tow rigs, track toys. We walked it.

That was Friday in the lot. I wish I could have spent more time out there. Can't wait for next year — I plan to attend the full weekend.
