Blah blah blah look at shitty pictures of cars. We'll kick things off with a $49000 Malibu

I know the Malibu joke is old, sorry. Seriously though, this thing looks fucking badass in person. It's insanely unassuming, and I love it.

It's so refreshingly understated for a not-VAG car.

Next, another T-rod. Seriously people, it's 2014: can we please do something different for hotrods? There was a time when I thought these were cool, but now I'm just bored of them.

The commentary will drop off for a while, I don't have much to add

My, what a big air filter you have!

As I mentioned this morning, I love Corvettes. Not sure how I feel about this one...it screams 80's

LAMBO DOORS, BRAH. BLACKED OUT HEADLIGHTS BRAH, TWENTY TWOS BRAH. I felt so bad for the XLR...

The reason I went to this show, another Sonic owner mentioned it on the Sonic forums. We hung out for a while, cool guy. Showed him and his friend (owner of the Cobalt) my car, they were blown away by the difference the tune makes. That's becoming the best part of having a tuned Sonic - people's reactions to it.

Move over Morgan, you just lost the three wheel game

I JUST WANT TO HUG EVERY METROPOLITAN. They're such adorable little cars, with adorable little inline 4s, and adorable little wheels and adorable little lights. I also like that the owner was wearing a matching shirt.

Oh $kay, there was something here for you!

Owner was a really cool dude. One of those car guys we all want to be someday. Really genuinely excited to talk to people about his car, and not in a 'look at me I have a GT' way but just sharing the passion. It's signed by all kinds of people that developed the GT including Shelby. He bought it new and has put 24,000 miles on it. Told me that when he bought it he spent some time in Detroit with developers, and one of them told him it could make 700hp easy. They told him how, and he just asked them to do it for him. They swapped the pulley on the supercharged and tweaked the ECM and bam: 700whp.

The kid in the picture above (with the green shirt/towel thing) was posing for a pic in front of it. The owner came over and said 'you should get a proper picture, one inside the car' and had the kid climb in the drivers seat for a photo. Like I said, the car guy we all want to be.

The drive-in speaker was a nice touch

SICK LIGHTS, BRAH! He also had shitty Autozone chrome letters on the back spelling BANGKOK. Sigh...

A Corvette with gratuitous amounts of LED lighting

RED MEANS IT'S FAST

Puts dragoning into perspective

I didn't even know this was a thing, and this was the second one I'd seen in as many days. Neat.

I don't like burnt orange, but I liked the vinyl stripe over the decklid

I'm sorry...

*sigh*

I wish I could have found the owner of this

Because wut

More of this, less hot rods. Please

I leave you with GT40 engine prons

This is probably what the GT owner was talking about:

http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts/part_det…

A very easy mod that many owners have done. However, he is mistaken if he's telling you that he is making 700whp. This mod with a new TB, intake support sleeve, headers, and filters will only make around 600whp. The only way he would be making over 700whp is with a larger supercharger (usually 3.4 or 4.0L Whipple). Cool car none the less.

I saw an SS on my way to Boston University for a FIRST Robotics district champion. I had to do a double take to realize it was an SS. It's looks good.

I would love to drive one for a day just to blow the doors off people in something that looks like a Malibu.
