Default Houston Auto Show Pics

I saw a lot of really nice cars today, but I didn't feel a bit bad about driving home in my B5 . I heart my Audi. Here are some pics:

The GT R makes me want to punch babies. That is not even remotelyan attractive automobile. B8 A4 looks nice, though. And the S5, too - god those are gorgeous in person...

Yeah, the Nissan is pretty weird...what struck me was how LONG it looks. Probably handles pretty nicely, though. B8 A4 looks nice...not really striking, but I really like the front end. The S5 was a beauty, but I could hardly pull myself away from the R8. And the RS4 Cab. Oh, and the A6. And the A8L...okay, they were ALL amazing. Except...come to think of it, I didn't even notice that there was an A3 there until I was looking through the pics. Apparently, not very eye-catching...at least not in that company.

I agree the headlights on the new Audi's are sick and I wish there were aftermarket ones that you could put in a B5 but whatever. I went to the show in LA and saw the R8 and I couldnt get away from it.

arabs eh.

looks fun, your lucky thecars in houston were actually at ground level. IMO the chicago autoshow (supposed the biggest in america) was gay.only car i actually cared about was the new B8, riding or driven every other car there. and i didnt even see the GT-R (me and my buddies avoided the jap car. mostly because we didnt car and i didnt want to be near the subarus since when getting out i somehow snagged a leg on the turn signal switch and broke it.

That's right...love 'em.

I had a good time at our show...of course the R8 was locked, but it was really cool to see some of these cars up close. We didn't break anything, but we tried...Toyota had an off-road course set up in the parking lot with bridges and boulders and dirt berms and teeter totters and you could drive the Tundra, Tacoma, and FJ Cruiser. We drove all three and I made the guy in the FJ Cruiser really nervous on one of the berms...he suggested I not go so far up the next one. And I got a free beanie out of it. So...score.
