Chapter 6 > L.A. Auto Show
L.A. has to be one of the (if not the) automotive capitals of the U.S. and I heard that the annual auto show here was supposed to be pretty good. I'm not super into cars, but I do appreciate good design and have been known to marvel at impressive technological accomplishments (like accelerating 2 tons of metal to 60 mph in under 3 seconds). I went to an auto show in Chicago many years ago and enjoyed it, so I decided to check out L.A.'s, which lived up to the hype. Here are some of my favorites from the show.
The new BMW M6. Nice. They also had an M5 on display that you could actually sit in.
A three-wheeled Volkswagen concept car. Eh, didn't really do it for me.
A very agressive-looking Lexus concept.
The Ford GT. One of the few eye-catching American cars there.
A tricked-out Kia. Not bad.
A sweet Ferrari. The Italians ruled, as usual.
A very fast-looking Lamborghini.
The most-hyped car of the show, the $1.2 million Bugatti Veyron. 1000 Horsepower says it all.
The new Porsche Cayman. I'd settle for one of these.
A classic Porsche Carrera. Very cool.
These Dodge Chargers looked pretty tough.
A futuristic-looking Maserati concept.
I hit 100,000 miles on the way home. Time to start thinking about a new car (a BMW M5, perhaps)? Probably not. My car will hopefully be good for another 100k.
