Hey fellas...I'm hitting the DC auto show on Friday in case anyone feels inclined to meet up. Food after in Chinatown somewhere.

 

Maybe if you ask nicely.

 

I have a morning meeting but perhaps after lunch .....

any chance of action shots of the modena from today in some fresh snow???

 

LOL yeah man...I'll make sure to pose next to it while I shovel....

Richard...pretty pluease?

 

Yeah, I'll head out that way. But you better not put another oyster stunt...

 

SO no other takers for tomorrow's merriment? Come on guys! You know you're dying to see Honda's new shades of beige and silver!! No? How about the new hubcaps on the Camry? I hear they're lighter by like 20% - I heard BBS had a hand in that design....or was that BS? I can't remember!

 

how about the

C7 Z06 with the Z07 package
or
new M3 / M4

I wonder if these both will make it from the Detroit show!

BTW - Camry's sold 408k cars in the US last year and its 10 Millionth unit! That's not too shaby My DD one also is a 14' car whoot whoot !

What time is LSJuan planning to attend? Could possibly make an afternoon tour.

 

LSJuan will be there around 1:30-2:00. Hill Country BBQ to follow.

 

Can't make today since us mere mortals have to work. I'm headed down Sunday AM

 

I'm not going to make it out today. I'm in bed sick and I'm not moving.

I'll try to head out tomorrow, if not Sunday.

 

I went Sunday. DC's Auto Show is never a great one, but this one just seemed even more... lackluster. I went with some friends, and saw others while I was there. It's just that there wasn't much exciting for me. I did like the Jag F-Type Coupe, and the original Cobra Daytona Coupe was nice. Chevy brought two C7's, but no Z06. Ferrari and Lambo were a no-show.
Kids did seem to like the Hyundai 'Zombie' car.


Somebody said it last year - who would spend any money at all to see these cars, when they could go to Katie's and see more interesting cars?

Some more from the show...

Yeah, the F Type Jag was the only car that I left feeling impressed with. The DC Auto Show is always pretty weak since its run by all the local dealers in this area. Its more of a consolidated showroom so you can see multiple cars at the same time. Car enthusiasts are always disappointed since its rare to see any prototypes or exotics. Hell, Porsche wasn't even there.

I'll be headed to NYIAS in the Spring which is a million times better (especially the female models).
