1. gets you out of the house
2. provides an opportunity to take some pictures/play around with the camera
3. is always nice to sit behind the wheel of a car you can't afford
Last one I went to was 2 years ago, don't have time to go this year.

You should go, if:
1. You're in the market for a vehicle
2. You're a car enthusiast
3. Have time to kill
Make sure you bring your walking shoes. I went yesterday and I was dead tired by the time I got to the 3rd building.
3. is always nice to sit behind the wheel of a car you can't afford

last I remember they restrict you from sitting in anything above a 3 series or equivalent... which really blows. Not to say that I can easily afford a 3 series, but you know...

yeah, go if you've never been before... but if you have, it's the same ol' shit all over again.
and for some of us working valet parking the autoshows aren't fun anymore... especially since we get to drive all those fancy cars, and get paid for it too
2 years ago when I went, they didn't even let us approach the Maseratis, let alone sit in them... fucken ghey.

Yeah, I was there last Thursday for the private VIP party. Wandering around and sitting in cars worth more than my house, with a free beer in each hand, is pretty awesome. Also schmoozing with the bigwigs.
Here's me and my '06 Ferrari F430. Click for big.
I personally don't have pics of me sitting in the cars, but my buddy Brad whom with I went to the party has a few, including a great shot of me in the Maybach S57.
I'll probably be going tomorrow (Tuesday) with a bunch of other friends as well, to check out what I missed on Thursday.
