I'm tired, it was a long day so I don't feel like updating a whole bunch, nor staying up to midnight.

The autoshow was cool, so umm not sure what else to discuss. I'll talk more tomorrow.

UPDATE: Well I need to write quickly, but oh well.

So I traded in the car for a Dark red '02 Civic LX with about 6k on it. Its not as horrible as the kia or the lancer I've had recently, but its sorta annoying. And to make it reasonably cool, its MINI priced. Though it does have real back seats. It was handy having mitch around, he interpreted Honda stuff. Like needing to have the cruise button enabled on the dash before the steering controls work. how odd.

Parking in detroit was annoying (bad luck on finding a lot) so it cost $13.50, however two random people gave us free passes when they saw us going to buy tickets. Handy $12 savings each.

The show wasn't amazingly exciting but I think it was worth going. Not much new, but I did get free evian and pretzels in the BMW special area. MINI didn't have one, so my key got me somewhere cool anyway. I didn't try using the Honda key to get anywhere.

After the show we went to windsor, it wasn't amazing, even though it wasn't a canadian holiday all the damn americans were there, so the table minimums were at C$15 or so, and thus we played video blackjack. it was ok. I lost some money on slots as well. not awful though, I spent $35 including about $10 on food. then drove home. Driving home was boring, but somewhere about 30 min from clevehole mitch and i started competing to id cars by their taillights. we were mediocre, but got very good at dodge minivans. (I think 30% of the cars on the west side were dodge minivans). it just got annoying when random things like 1980's station wagons got thrown in the mix. you wouldn't think to guess one of them. headlights btw were a giant pain to do, so we stopped. ok, enough talking about random driving.
