Got a couple of pics of the new Eclipse. Way too many people around the Blue By You Evo. Managed to get a glimpse, though.

I was a little disappointed by the show this year. No MB SLR, no Enzo, and no Carrera GT.

The guy at hte Mitsu stand did say dealerships will start carrying Ralliart parts by April this year.

My wife and I went Friday, 02/13, morning around 11ish. She really, really wanted us to take the Evo. I talked her out of taking our Evo because: a) I really, really hate parking lots and b) we were also having dinner downtown and I didn't want to mess with driving a stick in downtown traffic at 5 pm. She reluctantly agreed. Well, we're on the off-ramp just outside of McCormick Place, and what should pull up directly behind us? Yep, an Evo, an Apex Silver Evo--I did not recognize the driver. Needless to say I caught a little grief.

Hey, dryad001, were you there also? We saw a bby with WI plates in the lot when we were leaving; that bby Evo reopened the "I never win with you" discussion.

I was looking forward to seeing the Carrera GT myself. Also, why weren't kids in school on Friday morning? There was a larger crowd than I expected.

But, after sitting in every car with doors, I'm pleased to say that I still think the Evo's seats are the most comfortable standard issue. The Sti's seats were softer than I expected, the G35 coupes' were softer than I remember and the Ram SRT-10 (not pictured) felt like they'd provide the best suuport on the track.
