sorry about the poor quality of the pictures... i had to resize them and drastically shrink the quality... they were 1600x1200 originally, at around 350 KB/picture. eventually i'll somehow upload all the pictures i took if anyone's interested. also sorry that some of them are blurry or appear out of focus: with all the people walking around, it was hard to get a picture of a clear view of the car(s), so sometimes i just had to hold up the camera and take the picture. most of the pictures are without a flash, which would've removed the 'blur' and made it sharper, but it was hard to adjust the camera, because everything was so shiny and polished.
-
bah, i wish theyd bring back the pinto. :D
-
There's some real uglies there...
The Aston looks nice though :cool:
-
I am gonna go to that show later. It is always pretty cool to see whats coming.
-
I'm all for that Ford GT.
Did you get to see the new Mustang? Is it as good in real life as in the pictures? :D
-
As much as I hate to say it, that Ford GT is pretty nice looking... :shaking: (The world must be ending soon, I like a Ford)
But like Clave said, there's alot of uglies in those pics. That Lexus... is... strange. To say the least.
Why did Toyota have an MR2 there? I thought the 06 model year was supposed to be it's last? Like the Celica?
-
The Carrera GT is one car I would love to drive (or just sit in since they would take one look at me a say "No test drive for you!" :). I've been drooling over it since the first time I saw a picture. Never seen one in person though as I missed the car show this year in Montreal. Ah well.
Thanks for the shots!
-
Would you please not torture me with pictures of unobtainable beauty? Post a Volkswagen, or a Pinto. Those are more in the line of what i can manage with my current possessions.
:D

yeah i've seen dozens of them on the road, and i go past a Ford dealership every day on the way home, and they've always got them on display. but yeah, they had them at the show :)

the Lexus, i assume (as well as many people at the show) is supposed to look like a fish. if you look at the body lines, and the "blue" lights, and the blue lights in the interior. it's very unique though... none of those fancy gauges or anything. the whole design of the inside is like nothing i've seen before
i don't know about the MR2... they only had one, and it wasn't being showed off like the rest, i mean it wasn't on a turntable or anything, and it was open, so you could get in and test it out
-

Thot so. Just curious.

Vyp, the VIII was the first lancer evo brought to America. So that's all you'll see here, until the IX and X are made in the next few years.

yeah they're making cars. there are 7 maybachs in Houston, and they cost in the high $300,000s to get apparently (i was speaking to the Maybach representative). it really is an amazing car though. here's some more pictures i took of it:

Now that I like.
-
Y'know... I'm starting to like that lexus. :p
-
My first thought: Damn, those cars have some nice shine maps.
Yeah, I think it's time to lay off the SCP for a while.... do you know how many gun mounts they have? Missile capacity?
-
Most of those cars are the pure definition of sex on wheels. :D
The Lancer has one of the most ridiculous ricer wings I've ever seen, though. :p
-
you think that's a bad wing? look at this one:

roadrunner baby :D
-
Stop posting ass-end pics, gives us some sides and fronts! :D
And what is that sexy car in the background? The red one? Looks like a Ford muscle car.
-
that, sir, was the muscle car section... the whole show was new and concept cars, but they had one section dedicated to the cars that started it all: the 60s and 70s muscle cars... there were too many to take pictures of all of the muscle cars, but i took of the ones that stood out i think. still, i'm not entirely sure what kind that red one is. here's some more pictures:

*drools*
Thank youuuuuu....
*stares* :D

by the way, that orange car you liked... it looks like a 68 barracuda
-
Have any more shots of the all new eclipse? Looking at it in a colour that isn't that pissy green or orange colour makes it look a little more attractive than the blob it was.
-
these are the only pics i took of the Eclipse:

EDIT: "pissy green and orange blob"? are you sure you're talking about the right car? :p
here's the first generation eclipse:
http://rds.yahoo.com/S=96062883/K=eclipse/v=2/SID=e/TID=I016_80/l=IVI/SIG=12nos35qa/EXP=1107831818/*-http%3A//www.engine-power.com/img/specs/mitsubishi_eclipse_gsx_03.jpg
second generation:
http://www.canadiandriver.com/news/02images/eclipse.jpg
EDIT 2:
if you want, i can send you the full res (1600x1200) pictures of the eclipse. let me know :nods:
-
All of the concept images I've seen were this orangy yellowy red colour. Ugly. Ugly ugly ugly. I absolutely hated the concept images they showed.
The front end of the car is nice. I may even go as far as to say i like it. But the rear... the lights are too small and too high on the 'ass' of it.
And trust me, I know very well what the first, second and third gen's look like. And how to differentiate between years. ;)
1) Laser, Talon, Eclipse
2) Talon, Eclipse
3) Eclipse
4) Eclipse
I want the Talon back. :(
-
see, i didn't even know how many generations there were :p i was just going by the two types i've seen on the road... the two body stlyles (see the links in my above post)
:)

Some of those cars are pretty sexy. To satisfy the geek in me, this is your car on...
Yoper Linux

And THIS is your car on...
Gentoo Linux

Now if only they were priced the same...:sigh:

huh? i'm confused
