GM invited us to shoot some video at the North American International Auto Show, held this week in Detroit. They gave us access to various GM pooh-bahs and introduced us to other invited bloggers, it's all a part of their GMnext 2008 program which celebrates the 100th year anniversary of GM.

Announcements were made regarding new introductions and concept cars (of course), but the big news was E85 ethanol and GM's investment in Coskata, a company that seems to have found a way to make E85 out of a renewable resource: trash. Click play to view our vids, enjoy!

We went to the coolest ever high performance auto shop in Florida. This Corvette is so Hot. From the chrome bumper to the high powered precision solid engine to the deep colors in the artistic racing stripes to the ultra wide road gripping tires this fantasy meets reality racing Corvette is one of a kind. Wow, check the engine. It is worth around $50,000 when you see this engine that stands high like a mountain you can imagine yourself behind the wheel blazing you on a fast track where ever this car is on the road. This is model car kit come to life.
