Yes the arguementative rascal we all love to hate. Actually a good buddy of mine.

But here he is at the 2003 autoshow actively trying to find out info on the C6. Here he is pissing off the GM people at the XLR exhibit at the DC autoshow.





I mean really how many of you would put yourselves in this position to find out what the undercarriage of a car looks like.
Look he presenting

I don't know what's funnier:

- him on his hands and knees taking a shot of the less glamorous side of the car,

- or -

- you taking a picture of him on his hands and knees taking a shot of the less glamorous side of the car.

The hot chick who was a GM representative who threatened to throw us out, but then said she was kidding, but then said that, seriously, we can't do that.

- or -

That as soon as I got home, I found that all sorts of spy shots of the C6 undercarriage had been posted while I was at the show, making my pictures basically useless.
