Chicago Auto Show

Over this past weekend I went to the Chicago Auto Show with my in-laws. It was really good to spend some time with them, and it was really impressive. I had never been to a car show of new cars and concepts. I have been to a lot of shows of custom, classic cars, and hot rods, but they are completely different. The building is HUGE, and it is packed with auto companies showing off the newest cars. I thought it was really cool to see the concepts, because you will never see them (maybe something similar) on the road. The picture here is of the Toyota FT-HS. It is a 400 HP hybrid sports car. Beautiful. I would love it if it goes in to production. Toyota should get into the sports car market again, especially now that they are getting in to racing with more force. I was also impressed with the VW Rabbit. It was surprisingly roomy and comfortable, and for 15k, I think it is awesome. Totally different than the FT-HS, but I don't think I will ever see one of those in my garage. :) Pretty fun experience, I think I will return next year if I get the chance.
