I recently got an email asking me if I would like to come see the epic Detroit Auto Show known as NAIAS on Ford’s dime. This is the big deal show win the area: the local news covers it like crazy, and for as long as I’ve lived here I’ve always wanted to check it out. I’m not doing anything particularly urgent, so I decided to go see the shiny. If you’d like to just skip my words and look at pictures of said shiny, you are welcome to do so. I totally understand.
Monday night they treated us to a snackish dinner at the Henry Ford Museum. For those of you not from around these parts, it’s actually a pretty incredible place. They have old airplanes, and a zillion cars. I had seen the place during the hottest days of summer for the Maker Faire a few months ago, and was really excited to see it less crowded. The Ford “Community Influencers” event itself was held in a new exhibit tracing a long line of cars from every carmaker you can think of, as well as a bunch you can’t.
