I love going to auto shows and seeing all the shiny new cars and trucks, despite the fact that I’m a poor college student and blogger who can’t afford to put himself in a new set of wheels.  So I’ll be attending the 2008 Dallas Auto Show, which starts today.

Usually Volkswagens inspire cute and happy emotions, but this Touareg painted in military matte green is more hazardous duty than suburban cutie. Lots of companies make civilian vehicles with Rambo alter egos — Land Rover’s Discovery, Hummer’s H1, the Mercedes Benz G-Wagon — and now Volkswagen has the Touareg.

Wisconsin, probably best known for cheese and the Packers, now claims another distinction: a million-mile Chevy pickup.

The Smart Fortwo will come to the States this year, in stand-alone stores and at Mercedes dealerships. I’ve driven one, and I like it. Though it may not look cool at first, the build quality and materials rank among the best in the small car segment.

We’re going to take today off to spend some time with family and friends, but don’t worry! We’ll be back tomorrow with a full load of car customization craziness.And from all your friends at FullOnCustom, happy holidays!

We took this weekend off from posting to install some software-based upgrades to all PostLab Media sites — including FullOnCustom, of course — to support recent increases in traffic. We’re sorry for the delay, but the upshot is that your car customization fix will now come on schedule for some time to come.
Thanks for your […]
