Minneapolis Auto Show
Alex will post his stuff, and just to spite him I will get mine out first
No, but some of the stuff he posted on his facebook was pretty sweet, he was helping Auto Motorplex, our local garage/storage facility, which is a lot like the one in Florida that posts here. I am terrible with names, and I couldn't find them on the sidebar. But whatever.
In that booth or area they setup what essentially was a building with 3 separate garages inside for the different types of layout you could have inside. It was packed, and I mean standing room only, pretty much you could not move inside there. That is also the first Ferrari that has been at the Minneapolis Car show. I had to laugh at that.
Kid does not look happy.
This has some sticky tires.
C30
C30 interior
Ct200h (modified, still ugly, still slow, still not economic)
Corvette ZR1 Carbon Ceramic Brakes
Fiat 500 next to slightly larger Fiat 500
Fiat 500 Interior
Fiat 500 with a stylish yet capacious trunk
Then I saw this model and thought it was fantastic looking.
In black like that, just fantastic.
And here, from the rear.
It even comes in a wagon!
This one is better looking though, even this gentleman seems to agree with me.
The Honda CR-Z made an appearance.
Mugen tuned.
They had a room set aside for green cars, you can tell they were green because they put a plant beside each one.
I just found this quite literally tucked into the corner back first. Almost as if they were trying to hide how hideously ugly the back of it really is.
What I was most interested in personally was the SVT Raptor.
The front bumper I am happy to report, is a very sturdy metal. I jumped up on it.
The dash is changed this year into a better red/white backlit. It used to be blue, which kills my night vision contrast.
Then the crown jewel of the truck, the suspension. The lower a-arm is just beastly.

I know how jealous BuzzedHornet is that he couldn't make it out to the show so I'll post a few more pics to rub it in...
I was surprised to see that the new Buick Regal GS had a stick shift.
How many projectors does a headlight really need?!
