    Hmmm


    But me
    I personally think the worst / meanest thing to do there...
    Do burnouts in a Prius
    Throw darts at poor GM..
    Or offer Chrapsler reps brochers from their memorable vehicles.. be like this is what you people used to make..

    @Clive Hanuschak: Which leads to the question, "what is the look of a gallery with no pictures?" Never did care much for the Buddhist mysticism.

    You made me want to buy one of those little things now that i know how maneuverable they are, and that they fit through almost anything (except an elevator shaft apparently).


    However i was then deterred by the fact the vehicle managed to attract a total of 0 booth professionals. Seriously what good is a little electric go-kart of fun if it doesn't make the girls from Ferrari swoon when they see it roll by?

    "It said 'Press for Help'! We need help! Emergency. Emergency!"


    Need help?


    "Yes. It's not an emergency, but man...never mind. We just need to get the girlfriend to go down. That's all we need. No emergency.."


    Oh. Okay.


    "Alright."


    Alright.


    "Tee hee!"


    "Sorry guys"..


    "No Problem."

    Is that really sorry excuse for a "crowd" typical of attendance at the show this year, or did y'all film this after hours or something?

    The radio waves coming off the "O" in the Jalopnik logo are a great touch.


    I feel the need to point out that I moved my laptop screen around to no avail the first time I watched this video, thinking it was washed out due to the angle. Nope, it's the camera... oh, well. Looks good otherwise, and the theme music is a brilliant choice.

    I suppose an elevator emergency is better than a bathroom emergency.

    Good to know our fearless leaders have preserved--and enhanced--the Jalopnik unruly, wild and crazy, bad kids in the back of the class image.

    This was a better stunt when the BYD's Chairman drove his Chinese Hybrid Through Cobo Arena at last year's show.

    Come on, try to do something original next year, will you please?

    Did you guys have to make sure the doors you went through weren't too low? It seems like people have made that mistake previously, from the looks of the scrapes.

    The off-roading was funny, but trying to run it up the escalator would have been at least an order of magnitude better.
