I LOVE AUTORAMA. For me, it’s the unofficial start of car season in Metro Detroit. Michiganders only get so many days to enjoy their money pits, so the sooner, the better. The huge draws seem to be top show car, but I enjoy the daily driver cars that local people put so much time and money into. My main focus are the G-Bodies of course, while my son cared more about the “Toy-A-Rama” section and hoping to score some trading cards. Enjoy.

My son smiled, “$250”. “No, a quarter of a million dollars, $250,000, about 4.5 Hellcats.” My son was still unimpressed. “How much horsepower with the turbos all the way up?”, I followed up. “Around 3000.” Finally a light-bulb went off in my son’s head.
Unlike past years, I feel like the G-Bodies has a solid representation this year. Actually, this may have been the best year for them. Most of the time, G-Bodies have been limited to Grand Nationals and this year, I don’t recall seeing any. Hopefully next year, at least one of my cars will be worthy of the Cobo Hall lights, but until then. Enjoy.
