I flew over some place interesting this week...
Hah, I wish. The MD-500s are sort of the Ferrari of the non-military, helicopter world. Sadly, I don't have a spare million bucks.

Ha, how do you mean?

Ha, I wish. While it's perfectly legal to fly over any of the Michigan proving grounds at the minimum safe altitude (500 ft.), you would probably run into trouble once you started snapping/using photos. Anyone can fly over private property, but you can't interfere with its' use. Normally, that would just be a noise issue, but with the massive, well-financed legal teams the OEMs have, I'm sure they would have no problem trying to argue in court that someone flying 500 ft over the grounds with a long camera lens was interfering.

Yep that's from a GoPro. I'm looking forward to flying with a GPS-enabled iPad. Seems to be the way everyone is going and looks to reduce the workload on the pilot.

Make sure your sound isn't too high when you hit play. Rotor noise sped up 2000% doesn't sound so nice. Also make sure you put it on 720p. Though you might have to pause and let it load a bit before you hit play again with 720p. The funny thing was, it wasn't even my choice. I was given 3 airports to fly to, and this was the course it required.

GM News: Spying: Buick Enclave & GMC Acadia On A Stroll
These are pretty heavy refreshes, not the next-gen Lambda. Next gen is probably....2015-ish.

Both have those temporary, fake headlight clusters. The tails are real though.

C7 Corvette on Alpha Platform?
Only the powertrain mules that you've all already seen. I haven't heard what the story is on the pipes.

VW News: Volkswagen BlueSport’s Future Is In Trouble
It never had a future to begin with. VW hasn't really built any of their concept cars lately. Certainly not any of the cool ones, anyway.

NAIAS '12 Press Conference Schedule
Chris_Doane replied to Chris_Doane's post in a topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Well there is no GMC reveal scheduled for Detroit. Though, since the Terrain Denali is such a minor thing, it's possible they might just put it out on the floor. That said, a Chicago reveal is more likely.
