As most know, the Motor City is responsible for some remarkably assy failures in this world. But we should all remember that Detroit has also provided large helpings of awesome and win.

One such win is the annual North American International Auto Show, which will be open to the public from Saturday, January 19 through Sunday the 27th. Like the (old) E3 of cars, the NAIAS is one of the larger car conventions in the world, involving nearly every major car manufacturer in the world. The show is often the public's first chance to see upcoming production models, plus there are always plenty of ridiculous concept cars that aren't this and therefore need to GTFO.

But regardless, the show is a metric assload of fun. This will be my second year attending the show, as last year was AMAZING. We chat up the reps (read: booth babes, especially Dodge for some reason), take TONS of pictures, and generally revel in the mechanical beauty all around.

Myself and a few friends will be arriving on Friday, January 18. Attentive readers might have noticed we're getting there a day before the show opens, and may have assumed we'll be checking into our hotel and getting some rest for the show the next morning.
