I think auto show photos should be organized alphabetically (by subject of course).

And I think I should have more money than Bill Gates. But what we think doesn't really matter now does it......

However if you really want a gallery that is 100% organized I can tell ya how to get to NAIAS and they do let you take your camera in....

Thanks, but detroit free press, a proper organization, already made an organized gallery for me.

I think they should be organized by color (with the shiniest ones first).

There are exactly two good things about winter in Detroit.

The NAIAS.

Driving on frozen Icy Roads. I love icy roads.

It's just that I'm a believer in doing things right or not at all.

yeah, but that's not exclusive to Detroit, I can do that just as well in New England, so it doesn't count! Try again!

OK OK OK your right. There is only one good thing about Detroit in the winter....

Yeah, it's an idiom invented by some lazy jerk.

You know, the more I look at that Interceptor concept, the more I like it. Working brake system, "well over" 400hp, I like the exterior style though the instrument cluster needs help.

Sweet, problem is your guys winter last way way longer than ours. I get sick of snow and cold after a week. So I don't think I could take it up there.

Well, you'd be pretty sick and tired of it by now - first snow fall in October - record snow in November. Then the 'blizzard of the decade' last week. (biggest temp change combined with snow). The roads are a mess - I spend so much time iddling in my 'beautiful new...mini van' that I'm getting 12l/100 km instead of under 10! Will one of you warm weather folk adopt me?

Forget about them thinking that. I think the same thing about myself every time I open the front door between november and may....... I went outside this morning and felt like it was time to :cry .

I run to work early each day listening to the wireless on headphones & they said it was 25C (77f) at 6.30am this morning. Of course in the dead of winter you are going to see that drop to the 60's for 3 weeks straight

oh the horror...

marlinspike · January 15, 2007

Came down to school today...as I got closer to my school the external temp guage read 22.5C. Nice.

I recently just had a Sony Xplod CDX-GT300 in-dash sound console installed for my car and would like to know if any has any recomendations on some good subs and speakers. I have a Pontiac 6000 form 1991. The person I bought my car from used to have an old Alpine system wtih an EQ and after looking closer I am not able to determine if what I found in the back were subs (if they were I bet they were also alpine)

You want a sub, you'll need some power behind it too.
Put it all in a box or tube in the trunk. That way, no one
will see it--plus, for the most part, where low frequencies
come from doesn't matter too much.

Sony sells subs. But you could also go Boston (8's or 10's).

Be prepared to start fixing all the loose stuff in your car
though
