just got home from the auto show and the only sign of fender was fender headstocks as side mirrors on a cheap trick promotional vehicle called the 'dream police tactical vehicle' a collaboration cheap trick rock band 2 (video game) and rear wheels corporation. what does that mean? good news because the fender give away is just for fender people , better odds for us i'm not being selfish just practical , right .

Glad you made it to the autoshow. I don't think after you saw all those beautiful cars that you were worried about Fender. I got to see the new Nissan GTR here in Miami. Awesome car. Wouldn't mind having one. But I didn't see any Fender products. One year they had VW with a First Act Guitar. But they wouldn't let anyone play it. Would have been nice to have had a shredding contest. Just never know who might drop buy. DLR's family lives here in Aventura/N. Miami. I doubt EVH ever gets down here.

I'm not sure. I get lost looking at the cars every year. We have a Bugatti dealer in Miami called Braman and they usually bring a couple of cars. They are common in Greater Miami and you can usually see them in the more opulent areas. We also have another dealer called the Collection in Coral Gables that brings in some very exotic Ferraris. That is where I fell in love with my dream car F50. I saw the Enzo for the first time at the show. I'm not sure if it was a clone built by the custom shop that had it.

All in all, this year is a very low year for autoshows but I'm sure they will snap back with all the help they are getting.

MT you are definitely in the right place for hot exotic auto's the funny part is i don't own a car i take public transportation everywhere but i love 'em just the same i agree about the show not having the pizzazz of past years i hope the help they're getting will put things back to normal .

I uploaded some pics of the Miami Beach autoshow on

http://www.myspace.com/groomlakelincolnnv

if you want to check them out.

Some places like NY it doesn't pay to have a car because there is no where to park them and the transit system is very good. But here in Miami that is not the case and there are way too many cars on the road.

Hope you enjoy the pics,
