Default Detroit Auto Show 2008

We just left the auto show, were there about 6 hours and I took a ton of pics. I will try to get some pics up tonight or make a slideshow in photobucket.

Awesome, did you get to see the display of the new Corvette? The thing that struck me about that was the plaque they had there that gave some of the highlights of the car. one of them said 620+ horsepower. I dont think I have ever seen a manufacturer use a + sign after the power rating. But Chevy did say it would have 620 hp MINIMUM.

I'm gonna try to hit up Chicago's show as well. Have to see if the wife is down for it this year. I saw the ZR-1 and Challenger on Barrett-Jackson tonight. Hopefully be there with my wife's uncle next year. Guess which one of the two of us has any chance of actually bidding on anything... If I go to the Chi-town show I'll post up a link to my pics as well.

WoW that ZR-1 went for crazy-stupid money. I know it was all for charity but Holy Cow Batman....1 million smackers! The Challenger........ummmm not near as much.

I heard you can make a slideshow using photobucket, maybe something like that; that is externally linked.

Thats what I wanted to do but it would only let me upload 100 photos into an album, and then I looked at the upgrade page and it said 25 photos per slideshow unless I upgrade, then its still only 50 per slideshow
