Fellow Hoons, it’s that time of year again for the Chicago International Auto Show! Armed with a few cameras, several cups of coffee, and a MacBook Pro; I’ll be there this Wednesday and Thursday bringing you the latest exciting automotive news to come out of the Windy City. I’ll be doing my best to “live blog” from the show, that is if I can find a decent seat and power outlet in the media room. Check Hooniverse throughout the days on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday for photos, news and more auto show shenanigans.
