Here's again, for the mouse-lazy:
My first Auto Show ever. Good times, we drove an hour and a half just to get there in the middle of a blizzard, and all for the love of cars. And no, it’s not like the “girls like fancy cars” thing; it’s about cars themselves. The craft, if you want to get sentimental about it.
Either way, Chicago Barbie princess or not, there’s no excuse not to go see glossy design on wheels.
My favorite memoirs:
1. The VW Rabbit’s evil rabbit.
2. The super Jeep ride. Very Jurassic Park. No goats. Only raptors.
3. The sexy 40th anniversary blue Shelby (understand, it was my first time).
4. The ultra pimp Cadillac CTS Coupe Concept, which got me wishing rappers wouldn’t take advantage of it in the future.
5. The Saab Aero X Concept. It’s so James Bond from the good days.
6. The pretzels.
7. Jason spelling the “Volvo Safety” sign. S-A-F-E-T-Y in body-font (as in typography) is not as easy as it seems.
8. The I-love-Batman Lexus IS-F by Five Axis in matte black.
9. The very awaited 2009 Dodge Challenger in “crazy pumpkin with gloss” color.
In the end I was really expecting to see the Ferrari kids but there were none. It’s weird how there are Ferraris and Lamborghinis in fancy Mexico but not in the Auto Show. I guess drug Lords really like the sun. And tacos.
So, which cars would be in your Gone-In-60-Seconds list?
