Was there today Saturday, 2-10-07, with JOHNNY VETTES and GREG (ICEMANSNOW 1) from 10:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. PRETTY GOOD show but I was a lil disappointed they did not have the new 2008 DODGE CHALLENGER there on display!! Stupid azz marketing on DODGE'S part in my opinion.

My favorite car needless to say was the special edition WHITE, Ron Fellows, C6 Z06, which was simply bad azz and looked GREAT in white! Why WHITE and MONTEREY RED are not offered on a C6 Z, just like MAG RED and WHITE were not offered on C5 Zs (other than white in 01) is beyond me!

Went yesterday, I loved the 911 GT3 RS, but in the real world, I'm gonna get a Pontiac G8 to compliment my C6. That car is just about perfect... Total old school BMW styling... I've had nothing but German cars for the past 6 or 7 years at least and it's feeling better and better to buy American...

I'm heading to the show this week with one of the guys from work. We usually get there around 10 a.m. or so, and are in and out in a couple of hours.

I really liked the dodge exhibit at the show i went to a couple weeks ago they even had two of the nitros - do you think they just didn't have any challengers at the local dealers? They had everything here, but I think they were all supplied locally, the nitros they had on display didnt have the mygig system installed yet - but they were still my favorite part of the show.

I was also impressed with the G8. With that and the 2008 Camaro, it's nice to see GM starting to produce more rear-wheel drive cars with decent engines. The Camaro concept was except for the instrument cluster. I hope they go for less retro gauges in the production model. I also don't expect those 22" wheels to be on a production model.

Just make sure she gets the Z/28. I can't see having one with a 6-cylinder in it.
