Pics will follow later today..maybe. Kinda busy today. Anyways heres a few quick notes about the show. The new for 2005 Mustang is smokin hot. The new shelby cobra is blah...too slab sided. The Ford GT is oh my god gorgeous The 2005 is way better looking in person Aston Martins Vanquish..the 007 car is drop dead gorgeous. Its my pick for hottest car at the show. The SSR chevy convertible pickup is ok, but nothing all that great..overpriced for what you get. The Saleen is a fantastic dream machine. Never heard of a Maybach before. The Studebaker Avanti is still ugly & the Hummer wannabe they showed is hideous. My wife is a certifiable BMW nut. The Chrysler crossfire is cool looking, but has huge blind spots & I have to bend my head down to see out the side window. Very claustrophopic feeling. Toyota had a sweet looking big assed concept pickup on display that I would buy. The Lincoln pickup is weird looking. Oddest looking car would have to go to the Lotus Elise Pontiacs new GTO while having a kickass drivetrain..5.7 ltr 350 ci with rear wheel drive & available 6 speed manual tranny..is rather boring in appearance. Hummers new pickup should go back to the drawing board. For some odd reason I like the small goofy cars like the Focus, the Vibe, Matrix & the Mini Cooper. The amg mercedes is sweeeeet The coolest concept car was at Mitsubishi And Dodge had the best looking show girls. | ||

I second the 05 Mustang as bitchin,and would like a Mini Cooper S to go along with it!  | ||

the '05 Stang is one of the best looking cars ever.(Can't wait to see one in person)as for the new Ford GT...just watching the commercial on it gets me all tingly all over!! | ||

Hmmmm...Wonder what is taking so long? I get the feeling "Digital Dyna" used the film camera.  | ||
| Dynarider |
Nope I used the digital..been busy working. Im on days right now & I am busier than a 1 legged man in an asskicking contest. New job for me, in charge of purchasing along with being the point man for trial & sample runs. Busy busy busy. | ||

The '05 Mustang has found enough retro and enough new tech to win me back. I've owned two Mustangs before, an 84 5.0 ltr GT and a '98 4.6 ltr GT convertible. (I shouldn't have got rid of that car!) Too bad GM can't find a Camaro/Firebird replacement to compete with Ford again. The GTO just doesn't do anything for me. It looks like a Cadillac Catera from a couple years back. Boring IMHO. | ||

Free pic of myself & my grandson that Oldsmobile was doing.  | ||

Blah, I'll agree that the '05 Mustang is an improvement in the looks department, but there hasn't been a good looking Mustang sinice the originals. I was fortunuate enough to do prototypes of that hunk of shit. Did I say that out loud? As for the Camaro...the 40th anniversary is creeping up quick. Do you REALLY think they'll let Ford have all the late-20's girl market with the 'stang? edited by darthane on February 16, 2004 | ||

As an avid lover of the camaro (and an owner of a 400hp 1978 RS) I don't think you will see a camaro for many years. As much as a muscle car fanatic that I am I truely wish Chevrolet would concentrait on making a really good electric or hybrid car that can perform well in real world conditions. That is where the future is and it would be a shame for a great American company like Chevy to get passed up because they spent to much time revelling in their own past accomplishments. | ||

That new mustang is awesome. I have been hanging out on Brads mustang site for a while now, and they have all the info on the new car. It is a better design than the current car and should sell like hotcakes. And judging from the GTO design,IMHO GM will probably screw up the camaro anyway. | ||

Maybach! Thats the company that supplied diesel engines for some German tanks and half-tracks during WW2. The Panther and Tiger tanks had 500-600hp versions of those motors. (I just helped a fellow find a fuel pump for his half-track) They make cars now? Would like to see some pics of the Aston Martins. Can't wait to see the pics! | ||

Maybach is a division of mecedes benz. $250,000 luxury car. No thanks!! I'll take a new Ford GT and still have $100,000 left !! edited by buelliedan on February 17, 2004 | ||

Interior shot of the Mustang The new Shelby Cobra...blah More Stang Fords partnership with HD Dont recall what this was..Kia or something, just thought the all white interior was hilarious. | ||
| Dynarider |
This was a bitchin Ford that was designed for the Handicapped. Drivers seat actually swings out & lowers to the ground. Pretty wild. The car the wife went nutz over The 645 is pretty hot Quite a few folks there This is Mitsubishis concept car | ||
| Dynarider |
VW's concept jeep wannabe Believe it or not, this is a Mercedes Audis concept Sorry for the blurry pic, but even clear the Avanti is still hideous Heres the Studebaker Hummer ripoff | ||
| Dynarider |
Lotus elise Saleen Focus Dont remember what this is but I think it was in the saturn area | ||
| Dynarider |
Wife & grandbaby..had to throw it in For all you Gordon fans out there Hummers display The new Hummer pickup..its uglier in person. Why do I like these little bug cars such as the Vibe?? This may have been a Pontiac concept | ||
| Dynarider |
The new GTO..kickass drivetrain but very boring looks & interior Rear end of the Lotus Elise..probably the oddest looking car there Mini Cooper | ||
| Evaddave |
BMW 645Ci Dodge Stratus What's the difference? | ||
| Ray_maines |
God bless the wife unit and all that sort of thing, but I think the new BMW's are really ugly. There seems to be lots of good looking cars out there lately but BMW isn't one of them. |
