I went to the North American International Auto Show today. This is the most important auto show in the world, because it's where all the new car models, engines, concepts, and other shit are revealed to the world.
The main features at the show were the "new" muscle car concepts, alternative fuels, and hybrids.
It seems there's going to be a LOT of hybrids coming out this year, most of them SUVs. Now you can get better gas milage and STILL drive something that makes your dick seem bigger. Most of the newer hybrids use a system where the electric motor is placed between the engine and transmission.
Speaking of bigger, it seems the car companies can't stop trying to make something bigger than the other companies. Ford came out with their F250 "Super Chief" concept truck, this massive behemoth of a vehicle with a engine that can burn hydrogen, ethenol, or regular gas at alarming rates. Even worse, Chevy came out with an actual production truck called the Kodiac that's the size of a fucking semi truck and makes the H1 look like a Mini Cooper.
Also, when I was walking outside the building I kept on being accosted by people begging for money, either poor people or for "Charities". I had one Black guy hand me a newspaper that said "free" on the front, then he asked for money for a children's charity. I gave him a buck and he started hanging on my arm and following me asking for more money. I told him to back the fuck off before I lynch his ass, MLK day be dammed. Why the hell do black people in Detroit never work for their money, but rather beg for it constanty?
-
Kodiak!? Want!
-
They haven't let me back in the local Autoshow since they caught me dry humping an Aston Martain DB5. I just got caught up in the moment that's all!
-
Same here, except involving a maniquen at a bridal show... -.-
-
Great. All we need is another trendy urban assault vehicle for soccer moms to plow obilviously around in while jibbering on the phone. :rolleyes:
-
I was almost hit by an ass on his phone. I can now say that three times when I drive in Miami.

Kodiak!? Want!
Only if you want to count your gas milage in gallons per mile. (http://www.fly-n-hi.com/kodiak.htm)
Another urban assault vehicle, the Ford Super Chief (http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060108/FREE/60108001/1056/DETROITINDEX)(this one has a tri-fuel engine that can burn hydrogen and ethenol, so it burns other things than gas)
Some of the other concept cars:
- Mazda Kabura (http://www.autoweek.com/files/specials/2006_detroit/mazda/kabura/pages/01.htm) :wub:
- Mitsubichi CT (http://www.autoweek.com/files/specials/2006_detroit/mitsu/ct/pages/01.htm), Hybrid with the motors built into the wheels.
- Nissan Urge (http://www.autoweek.com/files/specials/2006_detroit/nissan/urge/pages/01.htm), sports car based on a motorcycle, comes with built in Xbox 360 so you can crash your expensive toy while playing Madden 2k7 on I-275.
- VW GX3 (http://www.autoweek.com/files/specials/2006_detroit/vw/gx3/pages/01.htm), another motorcycle car, this one sans the Xbox.
- Ford Reflex (http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060103/FREE/60103005/1057/THISWEEKSISSUE), Diesel hybrid, supposed to get 70mpg
Saab Aero (http://www.autoweek.com/files/specials/2006_detroit/saab/bio/pages/01.htm), Ethanol. I keep on telling the car companies that while they're working on Hydrogen, they should focus their efforts on biofuels as well, and only Saab seems to be paying attention.
Pony Cars:
- Chevy Camaro (http://www.autoweek.com/files/specials/2006_detroit/chevy/camaro/pages/01.htm) (good)
- Ford Shelby (http://www.autoweek.com/files/specials/2006_detroit/ford/shelby/pages/01.htm) (better!)
- Dodge Challenger (http://www.autoweek.com/files/specials/2006_detroit/dodge/challenger/pages/01.htm) (YYEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHAAAAWWWW!!! </dukes of hazzard>)
I saved best for last.
Toyota Italdesign Volta (http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z7874/default.aspx)
A hybrid sports car with a Lexus engine. 400hp, 0-60 in 4 seconds. I would give my left testicle and turn bisexual for this car. :nurihappy:
-
Dodge Challenger (http://www.autoweek.com/files/specials/2006_detroit/dodge/challenger/pages/01.htm) (YYEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHAAAAWWWW!!! </dukes of hazzard>)
But the General Lee was a Charger, not a Challenger. '__' But the new Chargers look like ass, where as this thing is boss. I could see me getting one these if I had that much money laying around.
-
The car or the blonde? :P
DETROIT -- Babes and cars are nothing new at auto shows.
But officials in Detroit said the naked blonde posing on a new Dodge Challenger isn't part of the official program.
Officials are trying to figure out how the woman managed get into the Auto Show after hours. Guards found the woman and about a dozen guys taking photos of her with their cell phone cameras.
Dodge tried to inject a little sex appeal by hiring "Desperate Housewives" star Eva Longoria to open the show. But she was wearing all of her clothes when posing with the Challenger.
Officials said they'll discipline any exhibition hall employee involved in the unauthorized nude photo shoot.

She's a blonde...so the car. Blondes just don't do it for me.

Ditto.

Bleh. Eva Longoria.

Well not her...
The Canadian chick in Maxim this month is frickin hot. So is Adrianne Curry in playboy. Good month for the raven haired beauties.
-
Yeah I really don't see what people see in Eva Longoria.
-
She's cute, but not the hottest thing ever. That title is for Sunny Leone.
-
Kodiak looks like shite. Those cars are pretty sweet tho.

He proably hates it and thinks she is a dumbass for doing it, but tolerates it cause she is hot, half his age, and fucks him. At least that's what I gathered from how he handles most of her antics on the My Fair Brady.
-
That show is trash. It should be entitled a Fallen Brady, instead.

Fallen? It doesn't count as falling if you only drop a few inches.
-
Yeah...what she said...
-
That chick wasn't as hot as I thought she'd be naked.
-
Haven't seen it yet, but I'm expecting much given how soused or drugged up the bitch could be at any moment...I mean that shit isn't good for the body...
