Washington DC Autoshow 2002

Went to the Autoshow on 12/29. Good crowd, not many new cars. I've not yet mastered which preset to use for my digital camera. Quite a few photos have a "washed over" like look because of this. Anyway, I love cars and I enjoyed the show.

Slideshow - better for slow connection

Cute little convertible, pickup truck. I was not trying fancy stunts with the camera. The turntable was just too fast.

Think about a Chevy Avalanche, more managable, less expensive and more fun.

Sure way to wow! the crowd. Make a balloon in the shape of PT Cruiser, attach small propellers to the mirrors, get a radio control.
