DETROIT (WXYZ) - One hundred of our social media friends jumped at the opportunity to see the North American International Auto Show before anyone else. They quickly signed up for tickets to a Tweetup hosted by WXYZ that offered an opportunity to see the auto show before it opened to the public.

The tweetup crowd, made up of our friends on Facebook and followers on Twitter spent Thursday night sharing photos and experiences from the auto show floor.

Here is what they are saying...
