Double Feature

It has been a long time since my last post, and for that, I apologize.  I haven’t had much worth writing about lately.

 Yesterday, I went over to the Milford Proving Grounds yesterday for a tour, and I got to stay for the Technology Show, which is a showcase of all the the powertrain technology.  They had a bunch of cars out for people to drive, and I tried an Escalade, a Saab 93, and an Astra from Germany.  The show-stealer was the Corvette Z06 with 505hp.  It was absolutely amazing.  It was cool to get to see the Powertrain facilities and all of the test tracks as well.

 I also went to see the new Steve Carell movie, Little Miss Sunshine, which was brilliant.  The story centered around a disfunctional family taking their daughter to the Little Miss Sunshine beauty contest.  The whole movie was hilarious, but the ending at the beauty contest stole the show.  It’s a pretty low budget, small time movie so it’s not showing in southern Illinois or Terre Haute.  That’s just another reason I much prefer living in cities.
