Update:
A group of us is meeting at the 6th Floor Museum parking lot at 6pm. (Free Parking) and either carpooling or riding the train to the Convention Center. I imagine y'all are welcome to join us there if you don't wait to pay the $8 for parking at the Convention Center.
Appreciate the offer, but Kestrel wants us in the Mazda Booth at 6:00
He's German so we need to be on time!(That and I already told him I'd see him at 6:00)
I'm always amazed at how many engineers/aspiring engineers drive Miatas. :)I'm actually done... I graduated from University of Missouri - Rolla in May '01.

I'm a senior in the ME program at UTA, with every intention of graduating in December. So rx7gslse - are you working in the industry? Need any underpaid interns at your firm? Will work for a shot at a job upon graduation...

I think Lockheed is and so is Vought in Grand Prix. BTW Vought is actually a subsidary of Lockheed I think.

I was an engineering student at Virginia Tech back many years ago. My minor was in Ping-Pong and Fraternaty Parties... which may explain why I didn't graduate as an Engineer from VaTech
Now that we've established that, what the heck does this have to do with the Dallas Car Show?Talk about topic drift...
Back on track! The Auto Show was a ton of Fun!
We even were graced by a brief appearance from the legendary Mathews2004 clan! :o
As well as several other Miata pilots like Droptop,miatamaniac92, and several others. I never did run across Flyin96 or Gary, but word was they were lurking about!
Several of us followed up the show with a slab o meat at Hofbrau in the west end!
It was a good time! :afro:
Any stand out cars? Any cool concept cars?

Yeah, I was a little disappointed in the show this year too. Very few concept cars. And lots of cars -- either 2005 models or "serious" concept car -- were missing, like:Just to name a few. But it was still fun and reasonably interesting. That Ford GT is awesome, and the VW Do-rag... oops, excuse me... Tourag was really very nice (for an SUV). Really seemed to outclass all the other luxury SUVs (Lexus, M-B, BMW, etc).
- - Lotus Elise
- Mazda Ibuki
- 2005 M-B SLK
- Porsche Carerra GT
- Pontiac Solstice
- 2005 Corvette C6
Worth $10? Only to real car enthusiasts... like us!
We had to run due to a 2 year old meltdown. here are some of my random thoughts.
The Ford GT was awesome. I love looking at the engine. I also like how the nose of the SC pokes into the cabin between the seats. it must sound real cool. the new mustang had a big crowd. The Chrysler Crossfire looks nice in person. The new squarish 300 was pretty gangster looking, but I kinda like it. The Porsche GT3 was probably my favorite in the dream car catagory. Favorite car name ? The Ferrari Scagliotti. Also the Nissan (trashy) car girls looked like they may have been infected by the Scagliottis. Last, the new BMW 6 coupe was pretty nice.
For a future family mover, we liked the Volvo X90 and the Lexus RX 330? hybrid car suv wagon thingys. Don't tell my wife they are wagons, not SUVs! I also liked the Mazda 3 and the 6 wagon. I saw a mazdaspeed 6 wagon in Car and Driver.
Since I use trucks for work and daily drivers, I had to check out the new pickups. I wish the new Fords had been out when I bought my last truck. The new 4 door tundras are nice, but the roll down back window is a little gimicky. I would like to see someone drive down a dusty road with that window down. The new Nissan full size trucks are also nice. they are growing on me. Base model Muranos are ugly.
I don't care who you are that's just funny!
Git her done!
Dang you guy know all those old Cadillacs at the show, I decided to look up the club and see what I could find out about them.
My research was shocking to say the least!
This is their Website and they are a Member and Dallas chapter of Lambda Car Club International.
So a little more research on who Lambda Car Club International, and I come to find out the following. The club is devoted to the enjoyment and exchange of information on old and special interest vehicles. While it's membership is comprised predominately of gay and lesbian people, membership is open to all open minded individuals who share a love and appreciation of older cars .
So if you go to one of there meeting and someone offers to push in your stool, run from the building!
Anyone want to by a Cadillac!
Is there something you'd like to share with us POS?Anyone want to by a Cadillac!
My favorite moment.
I was passing by the Oldsmobile display and noticed a beautiful 1950s Oldsmobile they had on display.
I jokingly made the comment, "So is this a new model coming out?"
The guy jokingly responds, "Yes, the new 2005 model."
I not so jokingly reply, "Finally, Oldsmobile is getting a good looking car!"
The Olds guy didn't seem to appreciate that!
