Detroit Auto Show: Day 1

Filed under: Automotive, Detroit — Tags: , , , , , , , — Mike D @ 7:45 pm

After an extemely long (about 11 hours) day covering the Detroit Auto Show, I learned a few valuable lessons after my first day…

–I hate getting up early.

–I enjoy covering events in a journalistic manner.

–Most editors (and other people) feel it is only right to abuse an intern to the highest extent.

–A press pass will get you to see stuff before everyone else.

–A press pass will get you free food.

–A press pass will get you free drinks.

–No one questions a press pass.

More to come on this…

  1. As tempted as I was to mock you and the press pass.. I felt it wouldn’t be nice from one car person to another. Plus, jealousy isn’t a flattering suit for me. So, I’ll just grumble a little bit.

    Did you happen to see the CTS coupe by Cadillac? Any thoughts on it? Noticeable size difference? 6.2l and 500+hp. Mm.

  2. The CTS coupe concept was really sharp. It looks like a regular CTS, except for the rear end…no real size difference though. Just knowing it has 550hp is good enough for me…

    Yeah, I guess I might drive one *oozing sarcasm*
