Detroit and My Failed Attempt To Find Celebrities at NAIAS

Celebrity Cars — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 01:36:26 +0000

Last week I got the privilege of going out to Detroit and to spend the time with various members from the General Motors team. This entailed visiting the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) where Chevrolet even won "Car of the Year" for the Chevrolet Volt (more to come on the Volt later), a tour of OnStar Command Center and some exclusive interviews with top GM employees. Just as cool as meeting the people that are behind the scenes of GM like Chris Barger and Mary Henige I also got to make friends was some awesome bloggers like Jewel's Fab Life, Stacey from The Mom Renewal Project, Miss Motor Mouth, Gary from The Garage Blog, and even this un-named really old guy who doesn't really believe in the internet.

But enough about that for now, I was really hoping to see some snazzy celebs rubbing elbows with the OEM's and introducing new cars. You see car shows like this and especially in Detroit are all about introducing the newest cars to the media and to the public. That said it's not too uncommon for these car manufacturers to hire celebrities to introduce their cars. But as luck would have it the two introductions that had celebrities attached to them were not introductions I attended.

Case and point, the introduction of the 2012 Civic Concept car was introduced by Pete Wentz. The second one was some singer but since it wasn't Justin Bieber I really didn't care (seriously just kidding).

Stay tuned for more about my trip to Detroit and an invention I found that will save celebrity lives! cough cough OnStar

Solved The Mystery – Number 5 The Natural

If you recall there was a nice Caddy that we featured a few weeks ago that was for sale on eBay. It had a pretty cool custom trunk but was customized to the owner's liking. Only bad thing was that we had no idea who the owner was. One guess was Brandon Roy but I vetoed that cause I went to school with Brandon and have an idea of what he's driving. But as luck would have it "The Natural" is selling another car and this time they are telling us who he is.

Here is the sick Buick Electra he is selling on eBay with a similar trunk.

Figure it out after the jump!

Washed-down comedian David Spade sits on the hood of his Buick Grand National. Without the age marks and mustache, he looks like a 14-year-old with a Buick.
