Just saw the local news report. They reported last night a big fight at the Detroit Auto Show, led to much confusion after someone pulled a gun and people started to run and panic.

What's wrong with people? It's an auto show!!

I dunno either, but pick one or make one up.
  • Maybe he thought he was at a (High School) hockey game
  • He was just looking for some info on his TPW
  • He was hard pressed to find his build number (sorry Dave)
  • Thinks that 2001 was the last year for the F-Body and didn't like to be teased by what he saw inside
  • He bought an Aztec, then found out it wasn't a 'concept' car, but a 'constipated' car
  • Thought the 'Bullitt' mustang was irreverent and just snaped
  • he's an ex-Postal worker just showing off

Good Sunday morning to everyone still sucking wind, on this board and around the world.

It was all blown out of proportion-the incident lasted less than a few seconds, the cops had it all handeled immediately, there was no gun. The main problem was that someone yelled fire nad everyone panicked and ran. When they ran, a few knocked into each other and that created more of a problem. It came on the news at 11:00 and by 11:30 the chief of Police was on and everything was cool. Looking at the interviews was interesting as was the same scernario as the LS6 in the F-car. It was all what I heard from my uncle at the other display stuff. Looked good on the news but wasn't any biggy.

Well, that's good. I'm still going on Wed.

Should be there about 1:30. You still up for it Jeff? TAS? I'll be with Rock and my
2 sons.

Brian.

I'm not sure at this point in time. I've been invited to GM to talk about 2002 stuff. Depends on when I get out and what happens. I'll have a better idea on Tues. GM (US) is shut down Mon. I believe for the holiday. I'll be at work.

Hi Guys,
I just arrived home from being at the
Auto Show in Detroit and I enjoyed it.
I some how thought it would be better than
the Toronto show that I have been to many times but it was essentially the same.
Make sure you get your hands on the SS posters GM was giving away! It's a picture
from the 2001 brochure of the SOM SS. It would look great either framed or hard plaqued! One thing I will say is that my girlfriend and I got really, really lost in detroit. I was surprised at the lack of signs or directions when we crossed the border, I guess since I have never been to Detroit before I shouldn't complain. Talk to you later guy's, and have a good week!
