New Car Show
 
It was a perfect day and place for the New Car Show at the Polo Grounds. Plenty of parking, plenty of cars and dealers. Beautiful breeze all day. The only fault I found was they parked all the food vendors at the far end of the grandstand. No signs telling where the food was. I'll keep my Honda CRV, thank you.:ho:

You’re right. Perfect conditions for the car show today. Had a good time looking at the models we had on our short list, now mulling over our final decision. Tonight it feels like I walked five miles, tho. ; - )

I think the dealers could of did a better job. Not that big of selection. Some had used cars/trucks there.

Got Honda Accord looks and runs like new, I also will be keeping it. Though, the new passports are mighty tempting?

Especially if it’s due 100K routine maintenance?

FOOD FOOD FOOD..... the main attraction.

There was food there? I didn't even notice. Lots of room, liked how everything was spread out. Saw lots of pretty blues, many shades, must be a trending color. Was pretty warm, I lasted less than an hour.

Sorry to be negative, but I watch a lot of Scott Kilmer videos on YouTube (50 years of mechanics experience) and he says Mercedes-Benz are just money pits in their old age. Says many times to avoid them .

It all comes down to maintenance. I know of 3 that have over 300K, and run like new. :bigbow:

You can say that about any brand. But, most don’t cost new car to last that long?
