2009 Auto Expo -- Raleigh NC (56k beware)

[mach1stang317]

What's up everyone? I went up to Raleigh today to check out the 2009 Auto Expo and though I'd share some pics. All I had was my little digital camera, so quality isn't best...
It was a pretty nice setup, had a little bit of everything, all the new the imports, domestics, exotics. Everything from Hondas, Subarus, Ford, Chevy, Dodge, to Porsche, Aston Martin, Ferrari... A few favorites, the new Mustang, Camaro, CTS-v, and of course the ZR1.
I saw a few badass old-school cars pulling into a building, we tried to sneak in just to get some pics, but they said it wouldn't be open 'til tomorrow that was probably the best part, gah. Maybe if someone else heads up there they can snap some pics.

Two diff wheels? lol

LOL @ that. Yeah I was thinking the same thing, i mean considering the ZR1 was like $100k or something right?
I loved hearing each salesman talk to about the cars, I heard one lexus salesman say that his V6 sedan would outrun the Mustang. going on and on about how quick it is and blahblahblah. I also found out that the Lotus Elise just has a supercharged Toyota Celica motor >.<

lol thanks, It was a nice turnout. This isn't even close to all the pics I took, I just posted some of the good ones, I was in a hurry when I posted, lol. I wish I could have gone into the classic muscle building

That T/A drove right by me, I'm 99% sure they aren't slicks, lol.

NC Auto Expo | Raleigh Car Show | North Carolina Auto Show

Motor Trend Auto Shows

too bad it's not next weekend. I used to live in Va Beach/Chesapeake, I'll be heading up there next weekend just to chill at the beach, it'd be worth the extra drive to hit up another car show :rolling: lol

Found a pic of the new Taurus... I wasn't paying attention when she was talking about it, I think heard something about a 6speed though
