I think the dealers take the shift knobs off so noone else does. A few years ago, all the cars I looked at had them missing. Not sure about the AC knob though

The show was pretty boring this year I thought

So boring in fact that they had dump trucks there

I did see one of my ex's there though. She was one of the models over in the custom car area The wife enjoyed that when she came up to me and gave me a hug

The only car that I was impressed with this year was the Challenger SRT8. I think I talked my father in law into getting one Then I will be able to drive it sometime I loved everything about the new Challenger except the vinyl "carbon fiber look" on the hood. Why is it that the domestic companies insist on adding fake non-functional "bling" ie. fake vents

i was going to ask for a review in comparison to last years show, but a couple people told me that it wasnt as good as last years, and imo last years was mediocre as is.

Nah, I forgot my damn camera on the way out the door. I thought my wife grabbed it and she thought I had it

BTW- What pictures were you wanting to see? The cars or the models?
