For those of you not familiar with what a Dub is, welcome to the club. According to those in the know, it is street slang for wheels, usually custom ones, 20” or more in diameter and there were plenty of those at the DUB exhibit in Cobo hall’s lower level…

We don’t need no stinkin’ passes

With hip-hop music creating a unique ambiance, a micro version of DUB’s auto show claimed a small space in physical size only. While their cars were certainly over-the-top, they were a breath of fresh air compared to the corporate-speak of the many talking heads upstairs. Herewith, in no particular order, are many of the vehicles at their exhibit.

DUB BMW

Proof positive that one man’s dream may be another man’s nightmare, this was, at least when it left Munich, just another 5-series. At least this one would stand out on the Autobahn.

DUB Delahaye

The object of most of these cars is the wheels, which is odd, since the wheels on this vehicle can’t even be seen. Although this car wasn’t identified, it certainly looks like some type of Delahaye. Now the French have something to hate besides the Louvre.

DUB Imprint RLS

The Imprint RLS was, at one time, a Mercedes R-Class. The fact that this vehicle is an improvement on the original says more about the state of Mercedes-Benz design than any words could begin to express.

DUB Lincoln MKX

Compared to the rest, the Lincoln MKX is an exercise in restraint.
