Question #20 Are You A Car Person?

Last night, the fam and I went to the Cleveland Auto Show.  We usually go every year and enjoy getting out of the house and doing something different.  Plus, A and L love cars!  ;)  We took my mom this year...she was a car show virgin!  Last night was a lot of fun.  We went right after work and had dinner there.  After dinner, L went DIRECTLY to the booth that sells die cast cars....big shock hahaha!  We actually got out of there without buying him a car, but out of the corner of my eye I noticed some leather coin purses in the shape of animals a few booths down....bad...just bad!  Two Christmases ago, my mom got me an AMAZING owl purse (I don't know if I have talked about how much I love owls on my blog, but I LOVE owls).  She bought it on eBay. I have had SO many compliments on this purse...not even kidding...I've had people grab my arm and drag me to their friend so they could show off my purse.  If I had a nickle for every compliment I've gotten on this purse, I could buy three more of them (the purse is $88!)  Anyway, this lady was selling matching coin purses and key chains to match my purse.  She actually had two purses too!  My mom and I were so excited.  She said she sold her stuff on eBay, so I guessing this is actually who my mom got my purse from.  I ended up getting the matching coin purse and key chain.  Duh....they are ridiculously cute!

OK, so on with my actual question....Are you a car person?  What is your favorite car?  I'll admit, I like cars, but I am not really a "cars" person.  Does that makes sense?  I can appreciate the design and form of a vehicle, but anything deeper like engine size or whatever is completely a different language for me.  Walking around the car show last night, I realized that I wasn't all that impressed with other cars like I used to be because I now finally have the car I've been wanting for years.  Yeah, yeah, I know....a Ford Edge isn't all that great of a car, but for practical, affordable purposes, it's my dream car.  Don't get me wrong, the BMWs, Mercedes, and Audis are awesome, but they don't have any place in my real world!  I'm just as happy with my Edge.  I was pleased to find that almost the exact same model, color and all, was displayed at the car show.  Coincidentally enough, it was parked RIGHT NEXT to the almost exact same Ford Escape my mom just bought a week or two after we bought our car.  What are the chances of that happening?  Needless to say, I thought that was just too cool.  Hahahaha.  What can I say....I'm easily amused ;)
