Since I'm from Minnesota, I have had the benefit of attending the
MPLS Auto Show over the past few years as a spectator. However,
this year might be different. This show provides a lot of great
information and entertainment for all ages. If you have a chance
to attend, please do so. Who knows, maybe you will see the
Rims.com team there.
