    Detroit Auto-Rama

    We went to the Detroit Auto-Rama today. Great show, but a very long day. We saw Chip Foose and Linda Vaughn. There were some other celebrities floating around but we didn't see them. It is amazing the amount of time / money that goes into some of these cars. They had the final 8 for the Ridler award there. It must take days just to detail those cars. There was also a couple 50's era Buick concept cars there. Those things are just too awesome.

    I saw just a couple dozen shots, but man it looked like a nice show. The final 8 were all incredible in their own ways. Some winter I want to go check that show out.

    Was thwr a blue '68 c10 in the final 8? I'm not sure if he went there or not but the truck has been taking down first place in every show he goes to. It was at WOW in January here.

    He hand fabbed a tubular frame for it. The time spent on the truck was incredible to say the least. It's beautiful.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    Foose is simply amazing. When money is no object he wins more often than anyone. He's the perfect ambassador for the car hobby.
