Auto show - Ron's excellent adventure
Today I spent 4 hours at the Wash. DC auto show. It's been ten years since I last toured one of these, and in fact, it's probably where I first saw the SVX, & mumbled those famous words, "What in Hay'll is that"? $30,000? No way - my first house cost 2 grand less. So now we have a $20,000 Hyundai & a $149,000 BMW Z8 with a mere 394HP. Phew!
Observations - My humble opinions: Your opinions may vary. 1. Show stopper - STILL! the Plymouth Prowler in Y****w gold metallic. Yeah - still goofy bumpers, but.... 2. Speaking of "bumpers" Hah! Right up there with running boards - EXTINCT! The new T-Bird will sustain 5 grand worth of damage if tapped by a Pinto. 3. Most "over the top" headlights - Infinity Q45 - Gatling gun meets Waterford chrystal. 4. Best looking cars - Anything Audi, especially the A4. Nissan Altima, no kiddin'. Lexus ES300, best of the entire line. 5. Personal turn-on, but ashamed to admit - Isuzu Axxiom with candy apple paint job. 6. Best looking women, uhh.."associates", also Isuzu. "May I answer any questions about this vehicle, sir"? "Uhhhmm - homina, homina.." 7. I couldn't help thinking that if a totally cherry SVX (yeah, candy apple) were spinning around on one'a them turntables, it would be drooled upon by a different generation. Thoughts upon leaving - "I gotta' get a new paint job". Ron.
