The Time K Drooled Over Wheels

For the wonderful fake holiday encouraged by florists and Hallmark, we joined hundreds of other couples and went to the Chicago Auto Show.  A conversation held with one of the display coordinators:

Him: You brought your husband for Valentine's Day, how nice.
A: Well, not really... she's the one who wanted to come.
Him: Oh, really?  (in a disbelieving tone)
Me:  Yeah, really!  Can I sit in that Lamborghini over there?
Him: (to A) You really lucked out!  Your wife wanted to come to the Auto Show!

We saw antique cars, sports cars, hybrid cars, concept cars and military cars.

Would you like a grill in your car?  How about a grill that happens to also drive?

    Looks like fun! The "please resist the urge to sit in the car" signs are great.

    It's a good thing I haven't made it to the Tampa show in a few years.

    Because I would do dirty dirty things to an Aston Martin DB9. Or a Ferrari 458 (or an F430 Scuderia). Or a Jaguar XK. Or a Nissan GTR. Or an Audi R8 V10. (Can you tell I have a thing for curvy hyper-fast cars?)

    Basically, they would have to escort me from the building.

    Definitely hard not to just climb in behind the wheel...

    Jessi, you're too funny.
