I have been going to the SF Int'l every year since 1974 (usually with a group of
other industrial/transportation designers.)  We have a great time pointing out
design flaws, counting cup-holders and stuff like that. The SF show has had some
good years but 2001 was not one of them. There were a few interesting show cars  but
the Dodge Super8 Hemi  had to be just about the ugliest thing I have ever seen -
even worse than the Aztec!

they said it was locked because it was the "european spec" interior and they did not
want to show us what would not be available here, but I think they just didn't want
to scuff up an already sold vehicle...  I like the way it looks - sort of like a
better Izzuuzzu Trooooper
