Eccentric Water Bearer is a description of me in a nutshell. This will be my dwelling where I put my thoughts on paper. Not really paper but you get what I mean. It's pretty much going to be all over the place. I have too many thoughts going on in my head on a day to day basis to put in some sort of "order". There is no way of preparing you for what will lie inside but feel free to stop by anytime. There is always something for me to talk about.

The Auto Show
Today we decided to attend the Auto Show. The last time I had been to it I was a little girl and was accompanied by my dad. I remember it so well because they had Kit, the Knight Rider car there. Now as an adult I can go a appreciate the time spent there. We arrived around 2 pm and we left at 4:30 pm. Oh it was like a kid in a candy store. I can't count how many times I said the words "oohh". I got a chance to sit in the cars that I know I will never be able to afford to purchase. My personal favorite was the H2. That was a pretty big and spacious truck. I also liked the Lexus cars and trucks. I wasn't really surprised by how comfortable they felt but they truly were comfy. More on the realistic approach, I narrowed my choices down to the Acura RDX and the Land Rover L2. The Range Rover was very nice. Even the Sport Version of it. The Sport wasn't terribly expensive but the more affordable would be the L2. You won't feel like you are being shorted with this purchase as it pretty much has the same features but only smaller. Perfect size for someone like me with no children and usually roll solo or with the hubby. Reasonably priced and luxurious. So out of the two, the L2 would be my first pick. The first car that I got in was the Mitsubishi Eclipse. Convertible. HOT!!!!! I just kept saying how it was sooo me and I got my confirmation by a friendly stranger telling me I should buy it because I looked so good in it. I thanked him agreed. If only I didn't already have a coupe. I'm in the market for a CUV not a roadster. I sat in the Pontiac Solstice as I have been eyeing those in the past. Nice but I don't like the 90 degree angle you sit at. I need to be able to recline a bit and that isn't the car for it. Highlight of the evening was the Aero by Saab. It's a concept car and I am so mad I left my camera. That car left me speechless. I will be on the look out for it in the near future. I left happy with tired feet and a new car scent to take home as a prize. LOL. I can't wait until next year.

Okay, what is it about cars? I don't get it, I guess. Or maybe it's because that's something you've done with your dad, and there's the nostalgia there?
LOL Well I wouldn't say there's some nostalgia there. It actually was a good thing because I plan on buying another vehicle in the near future and this is a way to semi test them out in one place instead of hopping from dealer to dealer. I'm sure a lot of people go for the same reason. To sit in and get a feel for them. Now the kids they bring, that's another story.
