I was glad to get a chance to finally break out my scarf. It was definitely necessary--it didn't make it into the double digits until early afternoon in Ann Arbor. - APEX faces 3

Once prepared for Saturday, we headed to the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). It took us about an hour to get to the door once we got within 1 mile of it, and I think we beat most of the crowds. Here is a bit of our traffic hell for posterity. - IMG 0479
The balding hordes. - IMG 0462
After grabbing some breakfast at a nearby restaurant (we decided not to sleep after I came in at 6:30 on my red-eye), it was time for a tour of the UMich campus. It is nestled in the cute little down-towny area of Ann Arbor, which is very walkable (if a bit chilly). - yellow flowers flashed

Looks like Porsche had cooling problems like Apple, and decided to make lemonade in the same way: covering the product in a huge metal mesh. - 0411 150143

Introducing one of the main themes of the show: carbon fibre. Everywhere. Any excuse is good enough. At least this stuff looks real (patchy). - cliff and sun

Another pic of the law school. After we finished our tour of UMich, we decided we needed to get outfitted for snowboarding tomorrow. I was lucky enough to be able to bum a pair of gloves and socks from Leslie, but I still needed a pair of pants. After going to three places (I kept balking at the idea of paying $200 for a pair of pants), we finally found some "entry level" ones at REI. All I can say is women's medium, $45. - IMG 0481
New Carrera. From here on out I'm counting on Doug to correct any fuck-ups induced by the fact that I have slept only 3 of the last 36 hours and that I really don't know that much about cars anyway. - dawn rainbow going to work

GM world headquarters. Most normal, well-adjusted people will want to stop looking at the pictures here as all that follows is a whole lot of pictures of cars that only occasionally involve me or Ali. You have been warned.
