This year is going to the rats. No, not literally, but it is on the Chinese lunar calendar for 2008. And what better way to usher in the new year than to host a car show during the weekend celebrations of eating, partying, and getting together with friends and family. And speaking of gatherings, there were some pretty big car crews that showed up for the event such as Team Hybrid, är-kan', and Autoconcept.
The weather was really nice and it almost reached 80 degrees. Usually it's a little chilly in February, so getting this kind of temperature was much appreciated, especially when there were scantily clad women modeling for us.
From the event's site
Japanese Domestic Market (JDM)

Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft (DTM)
The German Touring Car Championship, the premier German national sports car racing series has captured the interests of automotive enthusiasts and tuners here in the US and internationally.
