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

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.
