the show was kind of 'meh' this year. with the exception of only a handful of cars it wasn't anything special.

i saw a few cars with the Thunder Bunny replica body kit up at VoA the other month. now at the auto show. it should be coming to market soon. looks great!

i love these little recycled cars. there's been beetles, GTIs, and now Tiguans

the R34 skyline is easily one of my favorite cars of all time. the newest version is just butt ugly inside and out.

this dude was hand painting (with a marker) roofs for some new ford SUV. pretty cool to watch him work

i know, a lot of pics. C&amp;C always welcome and appreciated.

went to the auto show with the love of my life (she'll come around soon enough. ha!) / photo buddy. i decided to use my 30 f1.4 and let her borrow my 17-40 f4L.

of course i ask the guy with the thickest glasses to take our damn picture. this was the DynAudio 'egg' seat at the VW booth. at least he got the two of us, but we wanted a picture of the egg!

although it took us 2 hours to get to McCormick place because of traffic we got a surprisingly close spot

had a belated valentine's day outing as well. took her to the original Gino's East which she had never been. needless to say she loved it. and cheese and spinach pizza is surprisingly good. camera phone pics:

there were quite a bit of people walking and i kept getting someone in this shot. for a split second this lady was the only person in my frame. thought it looked cool because of how large the hallway is

even starbucks has a damn velvet rope!

great shots!

Uhh, she is gorgeous! I can understand your frustration ;-) Patience, patience... You look good together!

i've definitely learned patience from this experience. now i just hope it pays off one of these days.

certaintly better than the one here in orlando. when i heard that audi wasnt gonna be there, i didnt bother lol. i dont think bmw, vw, or mercedes was at the orlando auto show either.

kinda lame. plus from the pics ive seen at the chicago auto show, they seem to have some nice lighting to amke the car stand out.

i bought a used 50 f1.8 lens for her from POTN and she didn't know what a forum was.

chics are crazy.

prime lens+crowded auto show=hard to get 'good' pictures from a distance.

I still have my B5 and couldn't afford a new car again.

Was debating on doing that here at the Toronto auto show but ended up getting regular snapshots instead.
