John, is this the fisker you spoke about? Looks pretty awesome. http://myelcamino.net/cars/chi_auto_2010/images/IMG_9862.jpg I love this lexus but cant stand the rear grates, not sure what made them do that, it looks out of place to me, the rest of the car is awesome, well besides toyota's new reputation From: elky-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:elky-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John Christensen Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 7:05 AM To: El Camino List; Rat Pack Subject: [elky] Chicago Auto Show I took the train downtown last night, and met Nate after work at the train station. We went to the auto show till a little after 7 PM last night. Go to this page for a link to the 150 or so pictures I took: http://myelcamino.net/events.htm For the photo guys and gals...... no cropping, or enhancements.... just don't have time to get that done. All hand held, so the low light shows a little blur here and there. If it were a Saturday or Sunday, I would have had nothing but butts in the pictures, I'm sure. There were enough people around to have to get a quick shot when I could get it. There was only one good reason to take 2 pictures of the Fiats. I am sure you will see my reasoning here. Some cars I just shot because the colors were great. A blue Toyota for instance. That Audi R8 is as stunning in person as it is in print. I only sat in 3 cars, the new 5 series BMW, The Mini Clubman, and a Buick. The Buicks really caught my eye of all the American cars, unexpectedly. The Cadillacs were great looking. I really liked that wagon. The 5 series will hold almost as much though, and the rear trunk/hatch is really versatile. Still can't get past the cost of that though. I took some pictures like the custom Scion just because it was a cool stance and open concept. Plenty of eye candy in the room. The Volo Auto Museum had some cool cars there. The Blues Brothers cruiser, General Lee, and a real cool V16 Roadster. If I had unlimited funds, I would buy one of the Fisker Automotive electric cars, and drop an LS9 in it. They were beautiful cars. The lines on the 4 door were absolutely stunning. Off to work. Next day off is Tuesday. Sorry I don't have time to get the labels on everything.
