Auto show

We went to the Auto Show about a month ago and we saw all of the new cars coming out. Plus we saw a life-sized model of Bumble-Bee...the yellow car from the Transformers movie. Very cool stuff. Mark was for sure more excited about being there than I was, but it was cool nonetheless. Enjoy the pics.


Here is the Ferrari California...very cool. This was one of the few display models that they wouldn't allow anyone to sit in...and they took it one step further and you couldn't even go within 15 feet of it.
This is either a '57 or a '63 Corvette. It was one of about 20 older model cars there. Very interesting to see what the image of style was then compared to what it is now.

This was a new Mercedes model. I'm not too sure what the model was...but it retails for $500,000. Another one of the display models you couldn't sit in.


This is the new Corvette. Crazy how they have come in 50ish years!!!



And here is Bumble-Bee. Big and impressive. I love that movie. Too bad he wasn't robotic too! I would have totally asked for an autograph.
