Yesterday, Martin had a furlough day and I took a vacation day and we decided to beat the crowds and go to the Portland Auto show. We started out looking at a few vintage cars that were on display then moved forward to the Eco section of the show where the hybrids and electric cars were located. We are interested in getting a high mileage car for me to commute in. We would keep our dog van which really isn't practical for my daily commute. Martin is in love with this Mini Cooper convertible that I was sitting in below. I am not convinced, though Martin claims I can pull off driving with the top down.
This one wheeled scooter below is not really practical for our purposes either, it kind of looks like it came out of Star Wars.
This is one of the new Hyundai models below called the Veloster, we liked it because of how sporty it looks and all the features that were standard on this model, that you would have to purchase with other car companies. Mileage was 28 city and 40 highway which is pretty great as well. One of the new Hyundai models the Equus, had a small refrigerator in the back seat. Talk about your luxury models, but that was a new one for me.
No car show would be complete without a visit to Martin's favorite, the Lotus. This is the Evora, and I do have to admit it is a pretty classy looking sports car.
Great day, we walked about 6 miles, didn't buy a new car, but had a great time checking out all the new models for this year.
