My friend Eric and I went to the Chicago Auto Show yesterday. Man was it a good time! Unfortunately, Ford bunked out and didn't have any custom cars on display, I was hoping to see some customized Mustangs and of course Focii. But the show was awesome... and to boot, I got first place on the Lexus racing simulator- which was awesome because Eric got 6th (last) and so did the people in front of us. I even got some applause from the people in line!
Of course, we forgot our cameras so we had to use our camera phones... but I am thouroghly impressed with the quality of photos my phone takes... so here goes!
GM Exhibit
2008 Camaro "Bumblebee"
Awesome display of the new ZR1 Corvette
GM had a really nice tuner display
I like the paint job on this Cobalt- it's the same two colors I want to paint PFF2!
Chrysler Exhibit
My favorite car at the show- the new Challenger SRT8!
Killer Viper
Chrysler had a "Dub" themed section, with tons of big wheels and small ground clearances!
Scion Exhibit
I don't think a single Scion at the exhibit was stock. I thought this was one of the coolest displays.
Superformance Exhibit
Shelby Daytona Coupe (replica)
Shelby Cobra (replica)
GT-40 (replica)
Exotics exhibit
Lotus Elise
Do you want a top with that?
Mazda Exhibit
Mazda LeMans race car
MazdaSpeed GT race car
Everything else
I used to not like the new Nissan GT-R, but let me tell you, in person, it looks effing HOT.
International Harvester pickup, with a turbo-diesel engine from a modern International truck stuffed in there.
New WRX rally car
Sterion Turbo race car So there you have it, the 2008 Chicago Auto Show in a nutshell. If you have never been to one of these shows, I really reccommend going- I was really impressed with how much there was to see and do!
