So when is the first day us regular folks can go to the show and see the C7 up close and personal for just the price of a show ticket?
Be in the lobby at Cobo Center before 9 AM Saturday morning January 19th. The inner doors open at 9:00 AM. It only takes a few minutes for the long lines in the lobby to get inside, then it seems empty at first. Head straight for Corvette and Chevy/trucks while the place is almost empty, then do Cadillac and the rest of GM, then the other cars that are on your list to see. You have a good hour or two before the place gets crowded. Then last you check out the unimportant cars and trucks if you care to. After that the place will be crowded. We usually do this at 9 on Sunday morning though, after staying nearby at the Marriott Renaissance Center (GM headquarters). It's a cool building and GM usually has some special cars on display. Greektown and its Casino are a couple blocks away, they're fun and festive on Saturday night. RenCen has a PeopleMover station, running through downtown including Greektown/Casino and Cobo Center.

I will be watching the reveal on my computer and will have 5-10 years to peruse the C7 in person...no real rush at this point. I won't get a shirt, though, darn it!
I thought it was already decided that the car is ugly, the taillights belong on a Camaro, and the engine is down on horsepower with tech nobody wants and doomed to explode...

Some people like to be eye witnesses to a disaster!
