Well Jerry and Danny convinced me to jump in with the boys and head down to the auto show last Friday. What fun! All those sparkly cars with gorgeous exteriors and amazing features...it makes you want a new one! Luckily we attended with Ed Bedner, the smartest car guy on the planet, he sets the record straight on all the vehicles. I liked a Volvo and Ed let me know that the model was 8 years old, so it had been designed 11 years ago and the technology is very outdated. "But I like it Ed" I say plaintively..."Just walk away" Ed sternly advises. He also took the time to explain all kinds of neat technical details about wheels, braking systems,etc. Matt came down to the show too, he is studying engineering like his Dad, but when I asked if he wanted to work in the car industry he said No Way! He is studying civil engineering and is interested in water systems! Danny,Matt and Ed rode in a cool race car simulator and of course we all sat in plenty of cars. Jerry and I headed home to let out the puppy and Danny tagged along with the Bedner men as they rode the People Mover and visited the RenCen. Cool side note:the Tigers caravan was visiting the RenCen too and Danny saw Justin Verlander, Miguel Cabrera and many other players. Just don't tell Molly, she'll be mad she wasn't there!
