cars – Tiana Feng

Thanks to Klout and Chevy Canada, I attended the Canadian International Autoshow.

I made Nash go with me, and our reaction was a unanimous “OMG SO MANY CARS”. We’re not really “car” people and it’ll be a while until we both decide to purchase cars.

There were cars from every make and model including this convertible which Nash called the girliest car ever because of its tiny size.

This concept car of the future is motion controlled, which seems cool but in reality seems like it would be less efficient than a steering wheel.

I saw a 3D printer (a Makerbot) for the first time printing some mini car models!

Random free stuff #chevyperks. Really needed one of those power banks

Since the Klout perk was sponsored by Chevy, I received some sweet swag which including a power bank for my iPhone and a Klout pin which allowed me to skip the line for the Camero challenge. You can watch me completely fail at the challenge in my vlog. I love the power bank, it’s the most useful thing a brand could give out because everybody has a phone that occasionally needs emergency charging!

I’m glad we went to experience the autoshow. I think it’s a great place if you’re looking to buy a car and want to try all the brands out. We saw many people getting in cars and testing the feel out. Entire families went in the mini-vans. When I happened to pass by Union Station on Family Day, I saw dad’s headed to the show with their little sons. That’s such an adorable idea for young car lovers!

Anyways here’s some more random photos of cars:

For Canada’s day I participated in the act of firework watching. We didn’t go right into the heart of city hall but watched close-by on the porches of a nearby movie theater.

It was a lovely night. That was until we had to leave the underground parking lot of Square One along with 10,000 others. It was chaos, and to everyone there (and in future crowded parking lots) I want to say the following:

Unless a)your house is on fire, b)someone is dying or c)both you aren’t entitled to get out of the parking lot any faster than anybody else
Just because your soccer(/sports) team lost (Italy) that day, it doesn’t mean you can take it out on other drivers by yelling freakishly out your car window
Don’t signal until you fully decide what direction you are going to turn.
Road markings indeed point in the right direction. Don’t imagine your own.
Unless suicide is your intention, don’t get up and walk around in the mob of cars.
Tailgating while you are stuck on a slope is a bad idea.
Circling around a parking lot with one exit won’t get you anywhere.
Just because I’m a cute little Asian girl doesn’t mean I’ll let you cut me off.
