classic car

  Hi everyone. Today I went to the Greater Milwaukee Auto Show in (Duh!) Milwaukee, and found that there is more to it than meets the eye. First off, though there are no concepts there, there are upcoming cars like the 2010 Ford Taurus and re-designed Prius that are being shown pre-production. There is also a large amount of unexpected, yet pleasant surprises, like a George Barris showcase by Volo Auto Museum and a Nineties and late Eighties exotics collection being shown in the luxury section, which makes up about a third of the show. The most expensive car I was allowed to sit in was either a 2-door, black Mercedes-Benz at 103,000 or a (yet again black) Caddy XLR-V at some price close to it. I'd much rather own the M-B, as the Caddy's leather was already worn by the last showing of the week-long Milwaukee mini-Detroit show. Also of note were the cars being shown by the Loser Car Club, which were extremely well-kept and in most cases (there was a Pinto wagon) valuble. In the Hyundai Genesis Coupe, somebody had either stolen the shift nob or the people at the show decided to take it off only one car out of the hundreds being shown.
