Tai Robinson reports from LA Auto Show.
Text: Remy C.
Governor Schwarzenegger, flanked by four body guards, made an impromptu
visit to the LA Auto Show early Saturday morning, before the show was open,
so early in fact, few exhibitors were mending their booths.
We are told he spent the most time at the OKA booth (details below), located
not too far from Tai's Green Hummer and the Tango on the sub-level after
market room.
Electrifying Times is trying to find out what brought the Governator to
"pause" for the OKAs. We suspect it might be in anticipation of his business
partnership with Austria's Pinzgauer

Could Arnold be planning his own automobile industry in California, looking
to the old country rather than Asia for its future?
Stay tuned...
