I really wish I knew web design.. if so my pics would be up by now.

We’re so pleased with the way the show played to the public, as well. Every morning it got to be great sport to see us open the doors and watch dozens of people SPRINTING to the Chrysler Group’s test tracks. They were jammed all week. The waiting in line thing was quelled by DCX bringing in some awesome bands to keep everyone entertained. They absolutely “got it” when we announced last year that we were expanding. The fun part will be next year when we see how Ford and GM respond. Do we have room? Ohhhhyesssssss. There’s still 1 million sq. ft. of McCormick Place available and an additional 700K sq ft that’s coming online in ’08. Great place to stage a world-class show, eh?

Again, nice job. And for everyone around the country and world, plan a trip to Chicago next year. We’ve got tons of great hotels all wrapped up in an awesome city. Make a weekend of it… and wear comfy shoes :)

Like always, I used Photoshop CS to do the initial coding then I went through and touched up some of the look through BBedit.

Thanks everyone for the compliments!

I think I was standing there when the guy was taking the roof panels of the Smart Roadster. I agree that those would be great little city scooters but I wouldn’t put one on a highway if you paid me… a lot.

I should have my pics and a pretty detailed review up in a few days but my real job is accounting and unfortunately, it’s tax season. Ouch.

Mini had a JCW (Dark Silver/White), with aero kit, JCW brakes, JCW front seats, JCW wheels, JCW dash and obviously a JCW ’05 tuning package. It didn’t have the JCW suspension kit, Upper stress bar or any of the exterior CF parts. It was aggravating that the JCW was locked up, since I really wanted to sit in the seats.

I also think the new Audi grill is amazingly bad. and the rear end looks something like a Saturn. Not the Avant but the sedan.

And that’s my 5¢ worth on useless comments for the day….well maybe.

My only complaint about the 5 is that the hood seems heavy looking in some angles, but I like general stance it has.

Again I must state that just because the “design Community”, of which I’m apart, thinks something is great don’t make it right.

I would give my wife & daughters or my right or left macadamia or both for that F430.

Gabe, I’m so happy to hear you say that. It almost seems as if hating their recent styling decisions has become a sport.

I really like the 6 and 7, too, although I’m still trying to decide whether the “smile” on the front of the revised seven is better than the “frown” of the existing one. The frown seems more appropriate, somehow…;)

Thank you for posting this huge gellery of pictures. One tiny detail: it’s means it is. A good memory trick here is to say it out loud — and if “it is” doesn’t work in the sentence, there’s no apostrophe.
