1. Florida
2. Classic cars
We went to the all-GM show this weekend, which Ron's dad helps organize every year. The cars were organized by era, and walking along the rows of beautiful car after beautiful car (the oldest was from 1939), was like walking through US history. Year after year, GM turned out amazing, stylish, thoughtful designs that showed so much evident pride. And then...you hit the 1980s. What happened? The cars had been enormous for ages, but they suddenly lost their angles and curves. Rather than lightening bolt sexiness, glamor, and intelligence, the cars became arrogant, lazy-looking, Flintstone-simple, carved-out-of-granite dolts. There weren't enough examples to say for sure, but I saw signs of hope in a few of the newer models. Still, my heart belongs to the beauties of the past.
