Show me the cars

My dad and I went to the 2005 Oklahoma City International Autoshow today. That was fairly cool. The Jeep Compass was probably the coolest thing we saw, but it's just a concept car. The Honda Ridgeline is pretty neat, as is the MINI convertable, but in the I-wouldn't-mind-owning-one-of-these department (excluding the no-brainers like souped-up sports cars) is the fully loaded 2006 Subaru Tribeca. The front view is a little unpleasant, but I liked so much else about it. I must also say that I have a new found respect for the Chevy SRS now that I've sat in one.

Oh, and guys... I've never been to a place where there were so many women that new so much about cars and that were eager to talk to me (if only to tell me everything they knew about the cars they were showing). So if that's your thing, you should go to the show next year (if you're reading this you've already missed it this year), as that alone was almost worth the price of admission.
