I was disappointed in the sky.....if I had the money to buy it, I would seriously just go with a $24,000 2G/3S instead, my girlfriend got in the Cobalt SS and she said it seriously turned her on....think im gonna dump her.

the 4G eclipse let me down, it just didnt do it for me, granted, it FELT like a dsm cockpit, but the chinsy plastic, strange door windows and the lack of AWD/Turbo just killed it for me...again, would rather have a 2G

hated the clutch in the A4 (any VW for that matter), the girlfriend was pissed about the lack of a Baja and she decieded that her fav car was the wrx wagon with the roof rack, i approve.

Seriously, minus the $$$$$$$$ cars, all the interrious sucked goat balls? anyone else get that feeling?

I am never going to own a new car, there are too many cool old ones to own

I was there saturday for a few hours. Sorry Tauni wasn't able to meet up with ya. I enjoyed it. I was glad to see that 4g Ralliart concept. Did anybody get a chance to play gran turismo on the simulator? I wanted to soooo bad, but everytime I walked by it was a big line. :mad:

Also I wanted to buy this wax from the 2nd floor, stuff seemed amazing, but didnt have the extra kizash :(

I went up there today. It was OK. The best part was the GT Concept Simulator at the Subaru corner. You get to pick if you want to run dirt or tar. I picked dirt of course. If you think you are good on the game console, try the simulator. It adds a whole new dimension to it!! It's a $2 donation to the Red Cross. It was fun as hell!!!! My favorite part was listening to this kid behind me in line making fun of the younger kids trying to do the simulator. He was telling his mom he knows both tracks real well and he's gonna beat everybody because he knows the tracks so well!! He hit almost every wall in there! He did the dirt track right after I did it. He came in about 10 seconds behind me.

That's why I'm going tomorrow myself! Paul Brand had them rev it up on Channel 5 news and it sounded VERY, Very Nice!

No skyline :( the evo9mr just feels perfect and just flawlessly comfortable. Its sick evo9mr>sti anyday.

I loved the maserati race car.. Id add one of those to my garage next to my gemballa carerra gt when that lottery check comes in;)

Overall good show but not what I expected, Cant wait for autovations though,

tauni-good to see you, sorry we didnt talk much gf was tehre

Nice to see you to. The show was alright. Not as good as past years but some of the concepts were interesting.

No more Autovations. Propulshun lost 10k on it last year and is currently on the rocks as it is. So Autovations is no more.
