2004 Chicago International Auto Show

Thanks to my little website gomies.net I was able to score 4 media passes to the 2004 Chicago International Auto Show.  Not only did we all get into the show for free and get total access to all the cars on display, but we got to go 2 days before it opened to the public.  Because it was media only days the show floors were almost empty, just us and a few other media people were allowed in.  Chrysler had their new ME412 on display along with Ferrari's new 612 Scaglietti.  the Shell booth had a few Lamborghinis on display but they were roped off, so I decided I really wanted to sit in one and jumped the rope and hopped in, I scored a few pictures and was able to work the gearbox for a little while before quickly being told to "GET OUT OF THERE!!!" and was escorted out of the shell booth.

If anyone would like the full sized pictures, click on the thumbnail and get the .jpg file name from the address bar and email me with what picture or pictures you need.
