the other day i was in the mood to cook so i made my original recipe "spicy garlic squid". mind you, i didn't cook a lot, so portion of the dish, i have to give to a friend who likes that dish so much.
she works with toyota canada and in return, she gave me two tickets to the auto show which i think was a complimentary to them.
i was going to give the tickets to frank but he is tied up and so much appointment to fulfill, the commander in chief is happy to babysit the "CEO" and tim is not available in the weekend. so i ended up inviting my buddy cris.
the last time that i went to the auto show was many many many moons ago. it was held near the airport and the place is called 'international center'. nowadays, it has been at rogers center and metro convention center combine.
it was good that we started early to go around the place. we saw cars that are really pricey , the car that will be for tomorrow and todays car. it was nice to see so many different cars. by the time that i have seen them all, i started to get tired from walking and the place starts to get crowded which the male group outnumbered the female spectator.
due to the recent spike in gas price, i'm more interested at cars which are not gas guzzler. the 2009 toyota matrix and 2008 honda civic are the two cars that interest me most. i have 1998 honda crv with 260k's in it, the commander in chief owns and jockeys that car. when i say owns, what it means, i have to ask permission in advance if i could drive it even though the car is under my name.
since our second car which is 1988 cutlass supreme with less than 200ks in it will eventually croak, i'm thinking of having another car. i haven't seen the specs on both the matrix and honda, but my brain is leaning on one of those two cars. their financing is 0.9% so i couldn't go wrong.
if my budget will have an extra dough to spare and when the weather starts to warm up, i'm pretty sure i'll be able to afford a new car.
