By Robert EmslieToday marks the first press day of the Los Angeles Auto Show, and for some reason they thought it was a good idea to let Hooniverse attend. We’re going to check things out and see if there’s anything Hoontastic to report. We’ll spare you the news about the new colors on the Camry and such.

Can I has booth professionals?
So, Fritz was given the boot at GM yesterday and Whittacre, of former AT&T fame, is the interim CEO. Fritz was supposed to give the keynote at the LAAS, but now it looks like it's going to be Lutz giving that speech. Given the back and forth about the G8 between Lutz and Fritz last summer (Lutz: The G8 will be back. Fritz: No it won't.), I wouldn't be surprised if Lutz announced a new G8…maybe even a G8 ST. Or am I living in lala land again?
G8 Ute! G8 Ute!
That should be the chant at the Lutz speech. Do you hear me Hooniverse? Oh, the speech is over? Blast!
That brings up an interesting thought. Is anybody from Hoontown going to be covering the Detroit Auto Show? Or perhaps the AutoRama?
I am really hoping for "Harvest Wheat", but I know it is just a dream.
I wish I had a press pass for NAIAS, since I only live about 45 miles from COBO. Unfortunately I have to attend with the general public. Hopefully fewer "ballers" will attend this year with Aston, Lambo, Ferrari and most other exotic makers hosting a private invite only show at MGM.
Whoa! Don't get too crazy. "Harvest Wheat" is so edgy I don't think the focus groups will go for it.
Private invite only? That blows! I wonder what it takes to schmooze your way into that elitist forkfest?
I'm guessing at least D cups.
What?
Nice!
The new Oldsmobiles are in early this year.
Wow, we got invited to the ball…
I'm hoping for Extra Beige.
I saw Matt Hardigree, Jonny Lieberman, Autoblog Frank, Matt Farah, and some weird little man named Robert wearing a Hooniverse press pass…
best part of the show, hands down.
