Cars and Commentary

I'm somewhat of a political junkie and so it was exciting to hear how the events of Super Tuesday unfolded. I say 'hear' because I was at the Philadelphia Auto Show. Yes, it was VERY hard to not be in front of my television as I am any time there is a debate, primary, caucus, what have you. But, I love my fiance' and he loves cars and looks forward to this show every year. So we hopped on the train and headed downtown for several hours of car gazing. Thankfully my adorable parents called from their polling stations in Arizona with updates. I was so proud of them as they voted in their first EVER democratic primary!
There were a few TV screens in the lobby area of the convention center so I caught a few updates there also, then counted the minutes on the train home until I could turn on CNN. I stayed up until 1 AM trying to view all results.

John wholeheartedly enjoyed the car show (duh). We sat in luxury automobiles and he explained details of the classic cars to me. I even got in on the excitment this year as I checked out the Hybrid cars (my next purchase).

Here I am in the SmartCar...it's so tiny on the outside but surprisingly roomy on the inside (I am 5' so you might not want to take my word for it, though).



I liked the Prius but am surprised by how futuristic the inside looks. Kinda throws one off.
John tested out the passenger room for me...



All in all I'd say it was a fun night. We each got to do a little something that the other enjoys so in my book that's a win.
