Twin Cities International Auto Show

These were the breif highlights:



First time I'd ever seen a Carrera GT, most expensive production car in the whole show and it's just sitting there, no barriers or anything!!!






The ME-412, I can't believe Chrysler brougt the real working car here, in person it looks absolutely spectacular.






You may notice it looks kind of off proportion?


Yeah, that's because the whole car was basically made from plastic. Everything was sealed, no working electronics at all, hell they didn't even bother to put any brakes in, and check out this interior:


What the bloody hell??? The freaking "gauges" were stickers and were peeling at the edges! Give me a damn break! My Ricko model is higher quality than this! Did anybody else get the crap Sixteen at their auto show?

Besides that dissapointment, it was great. The CGT and ME-412 make the show worth it.

Finally we got some good cars here! But you forgot to mention: Ford GR1, SRT-10 Viper, SRT-8 300C, Dodge Charger, Mercedes Vison R, , All the new Audi's, and thats all the major ones I can remember right now. But it was a great one this year. I'm gonna go to it next Sat. Ill get some pics for this tread. And why was the ME Four Twelve not on a stand? The SRT-8 300C was!

Finally worth the $9 entrance fee!

PS: if you dont live in Minnesota, you wont care about this.

Denny Hecker said "Having a good time?" to me! Yipee!
