Dear 001,

I just slid out the SECRET door at the LA Auto Show to get to the closest Starbucks so I could get these pics to you as fast as I could.

Sorry for the quality but they aren't exactly thrilled about me shooting these.

But you're getting the first look real-life photos of the Infiniti G37 convertible, Hyundai Concept, Chrysler EV's, MINI-E, Nissan 370, new BMW 7-Series and others.

Love your site and glad I could sneak these for you!

Enjoy!!!!
