| CC admires BMW concept cars at the LA Auto Show. |
CC spent the day before Thanksgiving pretending she was driving me to Disneyland in various cars that we definitely can't afford. That's right. We were visiting the annual
LA Auto Show at the Los Angeles Convention Center downtown, and we checked out everything from new Range Rovers to Smart cars to, of course, the Volkswagen CC.

We had fun wandering around the expansive Convention Center, moving through a maze of shiny, accessible automobiles. Unfortunately, though, we missed out on the
Kids' Fun Zone, a tyke-friendly oasis that offers face-painting and bounce houses. (It's only available on the weekends.)

The closest car we could find that was CC-sized was the orange Smart Car. If I didn't have a child, I would have one of these for myself. They're very affordable and cute. (Although, not sure I'd take it on the freeway.)

Of course, there's always something unexpected at the LA Auto Show for non-car experts like us. We stumbled on this "executive" car, below, and were mystified. How great would this be on road trips with kids?

Laura, thanks again for the tickets. We went yesterday to walk off our Thanksgiving dinner, and had a blast. My favorites were the Rolls Royces. What can I say? I like the luxury.
ReplyDeleteOf course! Glad you guys had a great time. I missed the Rolls Royces. Bet they rocked! :)
ReplyDeleteMissed the show this year but it looked amazing. The Smart car looks like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteSorry you missed it. The Smart car is so cute!
ReplyDeleteNice post Laura.
ReplyDeleteChoose the best Chicago auto insurance for your car to have low monthly insurance premium.
I really like the orange smart car, too. But it's just so small! I bet it gets great auto insurance, though. Most of the other cars look expensive, so I bet their rates are pretty high. Though I can't help but love that car in the first picture. You said it was a BMW concept car? What else can you tell me about it?
