jezlyn > Elsewhere on the lower level of the Cobo Hall exhibits was the Dub celebrity cars area.  Nothing that exciting, really.  This is Shaquille O'Neal's Escalade.  Unfortunately the lighting was bad and there were lots of people around so I had a hard time getting a good shot of this car.

The actor who played "Mini-Me" in the Austin Powers movies was there for a little bit because his tricked out Chrysler Crossfire was part of the Dub display.  I guess he had already made his appearance and was on his way out soon after we got to the exhibit.  He seemed kind of rude because as he left he didn't really wave to the crowd even though there were a lot of people calling out to him and stuff.  Not sure what that was about. P

This picture was taken at full 15x optical zoom.  Since I don't have steady hands, I need image stabilization like VR on my Nikon 18-200 lens, or the Super SteadyShot on the H9.  Of course, I guess at this long of a zoom, everybody needs help from image stabilization. :)

Either way, I'm really happy about how this silhouette turned out! :)

The guy who was "assigned" to show off this car was like the poster boy for mid-life crisis guys. *smirk*  Too bad, because this car is much too cool to be associated with mid-life crisis like those Porsche Boxsters seem to be. :P (Hey, don't flame me; even owners of older Porsches don't think the Boxster is a real Porsche!)
