Just to let any of you guys know that the Army will have Strykers at the Chicago Auto Show. For those of you in the area, this could be a chance to see the new vehicles at a venue you may not have expected to see them at. The show is from February 11-20.

Rob, to paraphrase the quote from the Blues Brothers:

I thought it was "The new Buicks are in early this year."
But my memory for movie quotations is not what it used to be.
I just saw Apacolypse Now Redux and was amazed at how badly I mangled the 'love the smell of napalm' quotation and for how long...

On of our clubmembers and also an organizer of our yearly model show here, has a close relative that works for GM who build the Stryker and LAVIII and is supposed to have a LAVIII at our hobby show in at the end of April.

Personally I will believe it when I see it.....but it would be definatly cool if he comes through!!!!

I will definalty have pics for all if he does!!!!
