Auto Show to Climate Crisis: Whatevs

December 22, 2009 197 Comments

I went to check out this year’s Auto Show at the Javits Center, and I didn’t really know what to expect. I’ve gone in previous years to check out the splashy booths, million-dollar concept cars, and other general monuments to consumerism. This year, though, with the economy going to the crapper and the ridiculous sums of tax money being given to some of these auto companies, I thought perhaps it would be a little tamer. If I had just taken a giant handout from the government that came directly from hard-working people’s pockets, I might feel a little weird about spending thousands of dollars on a rotating podium. But that’s just ME. It certainly wasn’t GM, who had lots of splashiness going on at this year’s Auto Show. Honestly, it was surreal. Even aside from the economy, just seeing all these gas-guzzling, ozone-chomping, giant hunks of misused resources try to tout their environmental consciences was nutso. Between the rock of the economy and the hard place of the environment, all the Auto companies really tried to acknowledge a shift needs to come. But the attempts – the bad slogans, the stupid banners – just made the event truly bizarre for me. So that might explain why this video is a little bizarre, eh? Less about muscle cars, more about social commentary. Par for the course, I guess. Enjoy!
