- The cars are pornographically shiny. You can see from the shafts of light on our faces in other photos that there are a lot of high intensity spots giving everyone indoor tans. What I did not capture were the polishers, who wore blue jumpsuits and carried buckets of buffing stuff (try saying that ten times fast) and whose job I believe was to try to stay ahead of the sticky fingered mob. Good luck with your Sisyphan task, say I.
- The old cars on display, blocked off by railings and curtains, drew an okay crowd that was a drop in a leaky bucket compared to the Army section, which had a helicopter. Now THAT'S cheating. Second-most popular: the yellow 2008 Camaro featured in the Michael bay action porn Transformers. Here, the exhibitors cut out the middleman and a lot of explaining by titling the placard not "2008 Camaro as featured in the Michael Bay robot snuff movie Transformers, code-named Bumblebee" but simply "Bumblebee Camaro."
- I really like the idea of what would have happened had the robots of Cybertron emerged just a half score of decades earlier. Of course, having played with Transformer toys more than half my life, I can't look at a Scion xD without wondering how the legs would flip out, and whether you can see the head from the underside.
