IAA
Today I got back from the Frankfurt autoshow. That was awesome. 9 of us rented two cars, a BMW 3-series and a Mercedes C-class. The BMW had GPS so we could get where we wanted to go. So we drove the cars to Frankfurt (about a 3 hour drive from Hannover) and stayed in a hotel there. Saturday we "saw the sights", which amounted to seeing this sign and drinking apple wine.
We went out to a club on saturday night and I was pissed because this really nice club didn't have any damned tomato juice to make me a bloody mary. They had two fuckin bars but no tomato juice. Jerks.
Sunday I went to the autoshow. That was fricken awesome. The place was huuuuuuge. The daimler chrysler area was gigantic. If you take all of the grassy area in the quad and double it, then make two floors, that was the daimler chrysler area. Which includes Smart, Mercedes, Maybach and maybe one other. The other DC cars were in another area. Jeep had a badass waterfall, that I guess they always have at the detroit autoshow as well. Dodge was shit, except the viper, which paled in comparison to the maybachs and the lamborghinis and the bentleys. And those were only the sexy cars I saw. Those were in the two buildings I actually made it into. Each building was like...As big as all of the residence halls on RHIT campus combined. I made it to two of the 6 that had cars in them. I was pissed that I missed so much.
Anyway, the place was a zoo. Sure it was easy to get near the shitty VWs and the Seats, but people were animals when they got anywhere close to the lamborghinis. Twas ridiculous. Like I said, I will share pictures. I took close to 100. Seriously.
Driving the beamer was fun, but a bitch in the city.
I'll be back soon, don't worry.
