No Motocross for you!

They wanted $30(!) just to park. Er, yes. I'm very glad I didn't buy tix online to that last night. Because that was just...wow. And the hell of it was, they were getting it. Who pays $30 to park for a couple of hours? *is gobsmacked*

However, the car show was pretty neat. There was a motorcycle made almost completely from Snap-on Tools, and the 100,000,000th Ford ever built...which was a Fairmont Futura! IT WAS SO COOL. Those of you going "Buh? What the hell is 'cool' about one of those ugly things?" might recall that the Hubby's drag racer is a Futura. Plus I've always liked those. Because I'm weird. Also, there was another motorcycle with a finish on it that made it look very...steampunk. It was sort of a brushed steel sort of thing. Darn, I wish I'd brought my camera to this. *sigh*

We also visited Fry's Electronics today, which has all sorts of neato stuff, and which we don't have in SLC. I drooled over 11.1" laptops and bought a new laptop cooler, which was on sale for $10. Of course, I can't get it OPEN with the tools I have available to me right this minute...

Pix shall be forthcoming over the next few days. Seriously, y'all. Put the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum on your list of places to visit before you die...

$30? What? That's terrible.

Have you ever been to the Petersen Museum in Reno? It's a car museum that the Harrahs built. I guess Bill Harrah was a big car collector (I'm talking thousands). They used to have all these cars/motorcycles/motorhomes/etc in a warehouse. I think they decided to make a real museum out of it and restored all these old, old cars. It was really cool to go to while we were in Reno. They had everything, from the first cars, to motorcycles, to race cars. Very cool. Check it out if you're ever there.

We didn't think we'd heard her correctly. Not only that, but she said that the lot up the street was $40. Dude.

Ooo, that sounds really cool. We'll have to visit that if we're ever in Reno. Thanks!

Good grief. I wouldn't have stopped either.

And the lot was practically FULL. The girl manning the place had a fistful of cash. I was just...shocked.

It's amazing what some people will pay for things. At the last UT home football game people were offering to pay $50 to park. Insane!

The car show sounds very fun!
