The 1970's called and they'd like you to stop watching Mary Tyler Moore reruns. Your Detroit-view is as antiquated as her Mustang. :-) Love the Twin Cities, by the way.

So is Chris going to be at the Jalop karting thingamabob on Sat?

I was going to make a "where, exactly, is Olivia going to fit?" but then I looked it up and the Atom is a two-seater.

Having spent 10 days in Detroit last winter working on a commercial, outside, for 8-14 hours at a time I feel that I can honestly say...

There is much confusion and misinformation surrounding the actual definition of the phrase 'pure-joy.' To many it is a pallid cliché constructed around what they perceive as being their perfect pastime – their moment of uncontaminated joy. But I can now de-bunk this nonsense, for 'pure-joy' is actually not a perfect…

So let me get this straight Mr. Harris. You drive Ferrari cars 364 days a year, which, at an article per day, means you submit to us at least four more Ferrari articles per year than that DeMuro fellow. Then you fly to Detroit, which despite its appearance as a post apocalyptic dystopia (I have no idea what that…

I have to imagine there are less Armani Exchange shirts and little monkey children jumping on R8's?

I love all things auto related. I like being with liked minded car people. Detroit is full of good people and many of them are car people. The same people that support you and your work. It is still one of the best shows in the country. If someone has a problem with it being in Detroit then do not attend. It is…

I have to disagree on that one, at least in Chicago I do all I can to get in on press day so I can avoid the public. It turns into an amusement park/daycare/circus on the public days and it's hard to even get around to look at what you're interested in.

Wow, awesome list! We are staying right across from Cobo, but will have a car for venturing outside downtown.

Yes! What can we do Sunday that my wife would genuinely enjoy? (i.e. not car related) And how about some good dinner recommendations?

Usually its the supplier reps - they dress the same and have the swagger, but they're just salesmen. They can be just as bad with a waitress at lunch.

And now you begin the sweat phase. Your over-compensating body-thermometer continues feeding heat energy to your pits and crotch, which in turn begin seeping moisture faster than you can remove garments. And then the lady wants to check that you haven't got a bomb in your iPhone and the beads sluice from your forehead…

You should try coming on industry preview day and watch all the engineers and interns climb all over the cars with tape measures and mirrors on cameras, trying to get that sweet sweet benchmarking data. Makes it all worth it.

Sadly, I won't be there. Something about how everyone's really afraid I'll dominate too much.

Stig's American cousin!

Just north of Detroit is like saying Ann Arbor is JUST west...not quite as a daily commute.

That's the Stig's American cousin.

All the Stigs I have seen are a wee bit slimmer than that.
