Auto Show.

Every year around this time I start to get really excited about the Auto Show in Cleveland. It is a source of tremendous joy and hope for me. I know it's not for another month but, still, I'm excited nonetheless. To be able to sit in and talk about some of my most favorite cars. Especially Audi. If one could be in love with a brand name, Audi would be my second love. I get all giddy looking at them, touching them and sitting in them. You may find that weird, but I find it to be awesome. I'm hoping this year that Audi has the new A8 out on the floor so I can take a minute (or 30) and just relax and bask in it's awesomeness. But, it's kinda hard to do that with thousands of people there. I also hope that they have the R8 5.2 there (the Coupe, not the Spyder). Last year they had the 5.2 Spyder, which is a hell of a car, but I like the Coupe better. I remember one year when Audi was placed right next to Kia. Kia is worthless garbage. So much so that I make it a point not to even step foot in their floorspace. All they do is attract people with their hugely overblown gimmicks. At the Auto Show that year Kia was giving away prizes and they had a veritable carnival of games for whatever reason. It was a ZOO. A ZOO! Needless to say the crowd bled over into my beloved Audi floorspace and the parents let their zoo animals roam free and an Audi TTS (sports car) had parts of it's interior destroyed. These motherf***ing hillbillies think that they can do whatever the f*** they want. I mean, that's a $60,000 car your little brat just ripped to pieces. Needless to say, the next year, Audi was very far away from Kia. In fact Kia was pretty much secluded. As it should be. As you can tell I have an extreme passion for cars, and I am very biased against certain makers (Kia, Hyundai, Toyota, etc...). I can't stand car makers (and dealers for that matter) that use cheap gimmicks to get people to buy their cheap plastic trash cans they call cars.

Anyway. I have compiled a short list of cars I like but, in which, I do not fit.

1. Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG: Fantastic looking hard top convertible. I got in this at the Auto Show last year and I just simply did not fit in it. I really like that car. I really do. I just...don't fit.

2. Mazda 3: I like it's stylish look, aggressive stance, and sporty feel, but I can't fit in it. The seats do not move up and down and I was hunched over getting in it.

3. Subaru Impreza WRX: Great car. Too bad I'm too big.

4. BMW Z4: Great looking car. Hard top convertible (like the SL63), but with most cars like that there's no room for giants.

5. Audi S5: I absolutely adore this car. It is one of my favorite of all time, but the bucket seats are not wide enough to hold a person of my stature. I could have cried.

It's tough loving something that you know you'll never have. But I do it for the thrill.
