What a month!...Ed McMahon, Jim Carradine (Grasshoppa), Farah Fawcett, Jeff Goldblum and Michael Jackson die.
And now you shatter our fragile senses with these freeking pictures???
OH DOG THE HUMANITY!!! OH LARD; WHEN WILL IT EVER STOP!???



The only redeeming good news so far this week is Jeff Goldblum comes back to life, and Michael Jacko stays cold.

You forgot to mention the crappy economy..... Who knows, maybe i'm just doing a psychological experiment to see how far we can be pushed before we go completely insane

So what's the idea of the passenger front seat being reversed? Are they trying to do a Benz version of the famous 2CV where two front wheel driver power trains were installed on front frames and the two front frames welded together? Why do the seats like that??

PLUS: Those rims really are bad. Really bad...

whaddaya think? 20 grand that could have been BETTER used to save a few cars from the crusher?

I will say that first picture gave me a good laugh. And reminded me of a certain "pink barbie car" so I tried to see what would happen if I looked that up...

(WARNING?!)
Bling bling, much?

A freakin' barbie car...well...it's pink....

AND then an ACTUAL Barbie Car...that poor VW...

That first picture is exactly why I steered us away from the "DUB" section at the auto show. As for the Barbie Car don't forget the lovely assortment of colors that Dodge had on display....

I am amazed at the shots I got with only a few seconds before your camera would shut off on me. Under less pressure, I'd have gotten less blurry stuff! Extra batteries next time. Even though it was sorta last minute...

Those definitely were quite "interesting" though. Quite colorful. Were they trying to appeal to a specific audience or something? It grabbed my attention...and then made me want to never buy any of them.

haha the fact that it's a Dodge was enough to put me off of them. Remember we drove a Chrysler product on Friday....(No offense to Swampie )

I think this paint job certainly caught your attention

I think Land Rover had some of the best paint jobs of the show actually. I think this one might have been that special paint that sorta changes colors depending on lighting (I forgot what it's called)
