For a couple of years now, I’ve been wanting to go to a monster truck show. Everybody has told me they’re super fun, so Diane and I decided to go with Jason and Erin this past weekend. In fact, we decided to make it all afternoon car event (we hit up the Houston Auto Show beforehand).
The car show was pretty fun–a bit smaller than most other shows I’ve been to. However, I got to dream about some cars. One of the best moments was when we stopped by the section where they showed of modified vehicles (i.e., third-party upgrades). We saw a Bentley, a Ferrari or two, a Lambo, several Porsches, and…a Smart car! That’s right, baby. In the crowd of $100K+ cars was our (future) little Smart car. We’ll be high rollers once it arrives in 13 months. 🙂
OK, so now for the monster truck show. It was so loud! Good thing Diane brought some earplugs because it saved both of us. The first part of the show was pretty boring (where the monster trucks raced in a circle going over jumps). I enjoye the race with lots of small, everyday vehicles and the freestyle monster truck portion. It was cool to see one do a wheelie across the stadium and to see a few of them wreck, roll, and flip.
