I enjoyed reading that entire section. Well done!Jesda wrote:It isn’t strictly an appliance — seldom do refrigerators, toasters, and coffee makers inspire dreams and stir emotions. You won’t see a Maytag hanging on the poster of a child’s bedroom wall. Few in the industrialized world have lifelong aspirations to own and experience the world’s finest dishwashers.

Your GM heroes? You met the guy who came up with the Cimarron?

That's pretty cool, I think I need to become better friends with Seth... 
I'm not much for car shows/museum except when they have exceptionally rare/cool things. That looks like exactly what that is.. Ridiculous too that it looks like you were there by yourself and pretty much could wander around and do whatever you wanted with all those really cool cars.

Re: I met my heroes. I toured the GM Heritage Center.
Did you see the Chevy Astro (I think that is the name) by any chance? Assuming it was ever built as a life-size model, of course ...
I had a toy version of that when I was less than ten and was fascinated by how the back of the car lifted, along with the seats(!) to let people in.
