2005 LA Auto Show


Recommended Posts

i went on saterday.. a bit disappointed, because most of the cars they were showing were the same ones from last year.. there were a few new cars..

compared to last years show.. these pictures suck. 1. there were just too many stupid people who gave photographers and just people with cameras no respect when trying to take a picture.. 2. i have this Kodac camera that is such a pain in the ass to use.. i'd say 20% of all the pictures i took came out blurry, i've deleted them.

hope you like :)

PLEASE try to keep this link within the community, i don't want my bandwidth jacked up. thanks.

i was there too, it was a little disappointing, but the tuner cars at kenita hall kicked ass. They had a polynesian ford there with a hottub in the back. Also, I would never drive one of those hydrogen cars, because if you bump anything, even slighly, the hydrogen will most likely explode, that's the reason why the car is so big anyway, its mostly a giant steel wall between the fuel cell and the driver.

you don't know how bad i wanted to take pictures in the Kentia Hall. :no: most pics came out too blurry or just too many damn people crowding.

and the hydrogen car.. WTF? i've seen a 7 series powered by Hydrogen.. if it could explode like the way you described.. they better do something about that.

hey, i just got back. i didn't go last year, so i had a lot of fun this year. transferring over my pics now, i will post some when i'm done. i never made it down to the kentia hall, not really into all that stuff. i just wanted to see my porsches :)

trust me you didn't miss much.. even Toyota's and Mitsubishi's new cocept trucks were crap.

i saw the new Honda Ridgeline up close and it was pretty cool.. i was impressed by Honda.

Now, there were two things that did get my attention.. two new cars i've never heard of. Spyker and Venturi. Did you see those? They were in the same room as the Ferrari and Bently

yeah, they were really nice. that was the first time i've heard those names too.

/edit

your pics came out pretty good. lighting in those halls is a bitch, and unless you are really paying attention, it can be tricky. plus all the glass and reflections make it hell for your AF.

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
