Here it is :D

Now for the main post:

I went to the NY International Auto Show a few weeks back - thought some of you might enjoy the pics:

First - a bunch of bimmers. A friend got me into the show early thought the BMW Club of America. And as part of the deal, I had to stick around the BMW area while they talked about the released models and then answered a bunch of stupid questions like:

"Why doesn't BMW put out a completely stripped out 1seriesM or M3? I want manual windows, no AC, bla bla bla" - (hint - it's b/c no one would buy it)

"Why don't you carry EVERY SINGLE MODEL YOU MAKE IN WAGON FORM" - (same answer)

etc. etc. etc.

Then I finally got to go to see some of the other areas - I ran through the show fairly quickly b/c once the crowds get in it becomes very difficult to take pics.

WOW, ill take any of those. Liked the Merc Grill also, but that Saab? I think every car should have rims that are shaped like fan blades, probably helps to cool the break system a bunch.
