2016 New York International Auto Show

Picture
Well, it ain't all new.  This GT-R NISMO lapped the Nürburgring in a handsome 7 minutes, 8.679 seconds - but in September 2013.  I'm not up on the orthodoxies of Auto Show display, but this seems, well, over two years old.  Like, in human terms, a 60 year old photographer hanging out in The Dream hotel, ponytail swinging.  Still, the paint job is epileptically admirable.

On the other hand, there's a lot of cool heat, too; a lot of it home-grown.

And then, there are always the concept cars.  Check out Toyota's FU2 (I suppose that's what it says), a slide-in-lie-back 3-wheeler and its boxy neighbor.

The point is, this show is consistently good value: for car seekers, car lovers (and that includes most children), and those simply interested in design that is sleek not for mere show, but for aerodynamically sound screeching, keep-me-on-the-ground reasons.  You can spend a day here for $16.00 ($7.00 for children) - but beware the rip off "convenience fee" that Starbucks charges (as it does in airports, but not in hyper-expensive Midtown)  Have your coffee before entering, and take a bottle of water.

Earlier map above
There are 3 streets on our current maps, like the one below (any map from summer 2015 onwards) that do not appear on the map above.  They are small, but one of them is historically fascinating.  Can you spot them?
Later map below.
