LA trippin', part 1: The Cars!

Vanna bear shows off a cute new glorified golf cart AND his guns at the same time!

Being that John and I are pretty much car nuts, the main reason for our trip to LA was to see the auto show. The weekend we went was the last of it. In fact, we didn't make it there until Sunday, which was the last day of it.

We had alot of fun wandering the various showrooms and looking at some of the new models. My one frustration was that there weren't very many outrageously outlandish concept cars there. I'd been watching coverage of the Tokyo auto show, and had seen some of the neatest stuff Japan's finest could dream up...and didn't really see anything in LA that compared.

Not that there weren't any concept cars to be had, but most of them were kind of a yawn. Models that could very easily see production right now and not make that much of an impact if you saw them driving down the street.

Regardless, fun was had by all...and many pictures were taken. If you want to see more photos, you can see them here.

The new Chevy Volt. As the name might indicate, it's electric! (Boogie-woogie-woogie)

The newest Lambo sled to make you wish you could multiply your salary by about 15.

Something a little more in my price range (but, unfortunately, not size)...the adorable Smart Four Two.

John looking either pensive or famished...I'm not sure which it was at that point.
