Infiniti G37 convertible and sedan.
The origins of BMW.
And my favorite -- all things MINI!
The incredible MINI E! 100% electric! Zero emissions!
A lovely MINI Cooper S.
The MINI Clubman. Oh, how I love thee!
Some more MINI Clubmans we saw around the show.
Will 2009 be the year for a new car for the Monkeys? Maybe. Maybe not. My ugly busted Purple Rain still gets me around, and I'm no longer surrounded by luxury cars in my office parking lot. My car envy has waned, and I don't dream of a new car every day anymore.
Funny how a change in environment can make such a difference.
But that MINI Clubman -- it's so perfect for us! It makes me swoon.
You didn't take any pictures of my Audi! Well, mine someday. in 2050.
ReplyDeleteMini is my fave, too! I want cream with checkerboard top but am torn between that and a convertible. Choices, choices.
ReplyDeleteOh and Caraoke looks awesome. No wonder I was drawn to V Dubs.
Awesome! Weezer Monkey loves cars too! Fun! I love the odometer on the Mini... so retro-funky. And I hate to be all James Bond-y, but I'd love to get behind the wheel of an Astin Martin. Just way too cool!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots!
Wow, those are some sexy cars! The colored pants may be my favorite part though. Marketing genius!
ReplyDeleteThe mini is rad. Hubs won't let me get one though he thinks they're too small to be safe.
ReplyDeletePPppft.
If he had his was I'd be driving a tank. :/
Loved the Careoke!
No fair, you got to sit in the Clubman! Ugh, that stupid Mercedes truck is so ugly. You didn't get the Lamborghini girls did you? They had these girls in black catsuits come out to this loud techno music. And then the girls... just stood there. Fail.
ReplyDeletei am endlessly amused by those volvo pants.
ReplyDeleteLove Minis. Love. Please buy one so I can live vicariously through you. kthnxbai
ReplyDeleteWhy yes I do have $495,000. ha. although the g37 is looking pretty nice (it really is in the #1 spot on my christmas list. someday...someday i will no longer have student loans).
ReplyDeleteFun!
ReplyDeleteI'll take the blue Ferrari. But not blue.
No love for Dodge? wtf? I say you go for the zero emissions Mini - schwiiiing!
ReplyDeletethat mercedes is beyond fugly!
ReplyDeleteand yes, please buy a mini so we can all live vicariously through you.
What, no Hummers? Matt and I drove past a local Hummer dealership last night and the lot had emptied over night, offices as well. Ha.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me, but where are the pics of you rocking some VW caraoke?
ReplyDeleteWhat could be better than a monkey in a mini? Two monkeys in a mini!
ReplyDeletethere are much fewer half naked women draped over the cars than i would have guessed.
ReplyDeletesomehow we never manage to make it to the geneva autoshow, but you have inspired me, next year is the year!
I would really like a picture of this so called 'purple rain.' I also drove an offensive colored vehicle (dark teal) for several years and eventually pretended the color was not so bad.
ReplyDeleteI should take Lil Man to the Auto Show. He said he wants a Ferrari when he grows up. That's right...aim high! ;)
ReplyDeletewhy can't they make a hybrid that i can get down with. f. the camry has gots to go already.
