if you guys didnt make the auto-show i feel for you. i will post up some pics later but the highlights were:

ferrari Enzo (assumably owned by Ron Tonkin)
Porshe Carrera GT (for sale- prince undisclosed)
Ford GT40 (not for sale)
05 Viper
05 SRT-4 j/k but it was really there

Anyway it was a good time, and well worth the $10 to get in.

downstairs when you entered, they had a room off to the side that was titled "exotics" then there was a "motorcycle" room, and a "motorsports" room. the motorsports had a pretty nice rally Suby wrx/sti. good stuff.

I can't believe I missed the "Exotic" room. I hit the other 2 rooms.

That sucks, they had probably 5 ferraris, a Saleen S7, and 3-4 maseratis. it was the highlight of the show for me.

I saw the Ford GT. I even saw the MR and where a guy told me that it was slower then the STi due to the 12:1 compression engine in the EVO.

Actually, I was there with my wife looking for a new car for her. She ended up liking the Xb and the element. I was actually surprised about the amount of room there is in the Xb. Too bad it's snail slow.

12:1 compression...
I hate when idiots at car shows or dealerships try to talk about cars. I heard the Subaru salesman at the show telling some guy the '05 STis are just the same as the '04...I was like really? What about the wider wheels, wider rear wheelbase, quicker steering rack, new front diff, ... He was like "no these are the same wheels" so I showed him that they said 17x8 instead of 17x7.5 and how the tires angle outward...he was kind of taken aback and asked if I owned one. I said no I drive an Evo but I have to keep up on my competition
