Mainly lambos. Also a couple of Vettes and Hummers back in the back where the refreshments were.

the show was VERY lame...didnt even have any background music...ferrari's were okay, no big deal (imho)...i was suprised they had a 612 there though...even the lambos werent that exciting...seemed like we were just in a expensive parking lot...snd some of the other cars there were just :/ ...

i went to the show for one reason, and one reason only...to see the lotus elise...i think it was the showstopper...everyone was around that car the most, even ignoring the 90k maserati convertible next to it...

at least they let people go in and have a seat in the lotus...

the car is very minimal, and very low to the ground...ingress/egress is a little difficult, as the door sills are WIDE...passesnger seat is nonadjustable, there's a footrest on the passenger side which you can adjust- with VELCRO...needed the key to pop the hood/trunk- i asked a guy to open it, but he said he didnt have the key for it...they couldve marketed the elise more...didnt even have a salesperson next to it...

bottom line is i want one...dealerships on the mainland are all charging over msrp, and waiting lists are now over 1 year wait for the car...if i order one now, i can probably get one by december...but i want an orange one, and no orange cars are in the dealer's orders...so, for me to get one soon, they'd have to do a trade with another dealer...but i still wanna see a C6 Z06...

Just like Every other 'exotic car show' they have had here, for as long as I've lived here ........
like J said, ... Lame.

Is that Lotus is the same they had in the 'new car' show?

probably...i didnt go to the new car show, because i figured that one to be lame also, HAHAHAHAHAHA...it's like every car show here is the same as last years, with the exception of some new models...even the import car shows- you see the same $h!t over and over: cars, ho's, everything...

as for the elise, this one was silver, and was the euro spec elise...worn in a few areas, but i'd still rock one...they look fkn pimp to me...and i wouldnt be a "poser" with one either...that sucker would see a wholotta track time from me if i owned one...
