Having grown up in Detroit, I love all things automobile. We'll be going this year again. Among other things, I want to see if my son (huge) will fit into a Kia Soul or Scion xD. I'm in the mood to buy him a new car if/when he graduates from commercial diving school.

Houston Auto Show - Jan 25 - Jan 29, 2012

Just sayin'...

LOVE the auto show! We go every year. I love cars in general and research them all the time. I just leased a minivan earlier this month, but when the lease is up - I already have my eye one what I want to get next. I'm hoping I can play around with it at the auto show. Will probably go tomorrow afternoon.

At the website, you can get a $2 discount coupon good at the ticket window for weekday visits.

Maybe I am getting old and grumpy. But every year I go there it is pretty much the same show. A little newer cars, slightly modded. But nothing to be excited about. :-) Same old.

Get me a full electric with large monitors and futuristic design - and I am in.

The Auto Show was a great help last year. We were going to be in the market for a new car about the time of the show. The Auto Show allowed us to narrow down the models we were going to look at. It also opened our eyes to a few that we never thought of. Saved us a ton of time and a few weekends worth of driving around.
