Your right..... that challenger is BAD ASS! I'm deffinitly in "ditch
the 05 when it comes out" mode right now! :)
I was quite impressed at the show this year, deffinitly bigger. I did
however question them seperating the show into "insano land" with your
Mazeratti, Ferrarri, Sabb, and Hummer on one side and your regular cars
with Ford, GM, Toyota, and DC on the other side. It just seemed odd and
uppity to me. While I could afford those cars, don't segregate them
from the really cool stuff I want.
2 vehicles I liked.... The Challenger and Ford's "Big Cheif".... an
insanely huge truck with a really plush interrior. Granted it's a ford,
but when the back seats have ottoman-style foot rests and LCD displays,
that trumps alot! :)
2 vehicles I disliked... Chevy's Camarro really sucked. If that car is
designed to save GM, they're dead. It looked cheasy, cheap, and lacked
the styling compared to the Challenger or the Mustang. The other
vehicle is every hummer that was there. I actually got a poster of a H3
so I can tape it to a urinal and REALLY take care of business.
I should have pics tomorrow, my digital was DOA so I got demoted to 2
disposable cameras.... so I'll have to see how bad I really am. With my
digitial I can get 40 visible pics in a mem card with 200-300 shots.
Narrowing it down to 48 is not good for me! :)
