Been there done that... I love the last year's Jeep waterfall. This year, I like.... the new 04 Mustang. Cady Sixteen is just too odd looking and this year it is full of cars with suicide doors.

I asked the automakers what would happen if the main door is closed and let's say the back door slam on top of the main door...


The answer from Honda was -- It would damage your car. You probably don't want to do that.

You should see looks on the all the people that were praising the car when the rep answer my door crushing question. Love doing that. hehe.

Did they have the Lincoln Continental concept there, and was it one of the drivable ones.



PS that Mustang is pretty damn cool. 5.4DOHC supercharged!

Do that. I think I pissed off the Ford lady. Toyota girl was pretty cool and Honda dudes still try to sell the car to me.

I also had a nice conversation with the toyota hybrid prius (sp?) The guy asked me if I wanted it. I told him to convince me out of my SVX. He tried and fail. I asked him what tires the toyota ran and told me 15. I look down and they were running 14s. Right under his nose too.

I told the Acura people that the new TSX looks like an Accord. They did not like it at all. But the damn car looks like an Accord or rather some form of Honda.

Come on... Honda owns that company and in many places, stuff like the Integra is sold as Honda.

Haha, Lwin! I wish I could go to that. I've never been to a major auto show but would absolutely love to. I would definitely break some balls if I went. Keep up the good work!
