... studying for my Cisco Finals. Friend of mine called me and asked me if I wanted to go to auto show. Sure I said and I'm really glad I did.
One car that really got attention was Ford 49 Concept and I really think Ford should build that car. Great combination of old school and new technology. I also had a chance to see Ford GT, Shelby GR 1 Concept, Chevy Corvette ... Also I really liked Ford F350. It has so much space. Only few old cars, mostly GTOs.
Anyway, here are the pictures. I took pictures of only domestic cars.

That Thunderbird is sharp. I'm not really a fan of the production version, it's performance or it's price, but at least that one looks sharp. I remember seeing something like it a few years ago at the Philly car show.

I didn't really care about imports. Saw new Eclipse - if you think GTO was bad move just wait until Eclise hit the streets. Jaguar had nice cars so did Porsche. I have a friend who owns Audi A6 so I really tried to find what's so special about that car. In my opinion Lincoln LS is a lot better.
But Ford 49 Concept was really the best one. I was coming back and looking at him few times because it just looks so darn good. I really like old school and this Ford is perfect example of old school and new technology. If Ford ever decide to build one - I know what my next car will be. There was also 1908 Ford Model T. Beautiful car.
Also there were a lot of motorcycles. Harley Davidson was best one. But batteries in my digital camera died so I wasn't able to take any pictures of HD.

I think there should be a new site rule..any time anyone posts pics of that newer Dodge Charger "daytona" or ram "daytona" they need to always include this smilie: 
!
Can we get that into the site rules somewhere?

thanks for the photos! Not to rag on you... just a little tip, try to hold the camera still for an extra second for crisper pictures.. especially if you took them with a digitial camera.. took me a while to get the hang of mine.

Sorry.
Still trying to find out how to use all of those options in digital camera. A lot of pictures that I took were too dark and too blurry.

Thanks for the pics Zoran.
A tip about the camera: If it has a 'macro' function, make sure it's turned OFF when you take pics indoors.
Hate to admit it, but Dodge/Chrysler makes some good looking cars these days... not to rival a Mustang, but close...

Gotta agree with you Matt. When new Charger came out I though it was one ugly car. Now I might even buy one. It looks good and performances are good. Are have been looking for a powerfull sedan.

Gotta agree with you two. Some of the Dodges look pretty nice. For some reason I can't quite put my finger on, I love the Dodge Magnum station wagon. Black with black leather. 
Maybe it's because it looks like an old hearse.
