Camera Phone Road Show

Jun 2, 2008 - Mercedes-Benz SLR Maclaren

I saw this black convertible from way back and thought, "What the heck is that?" When I got close enough to see the Mercedes logo, I knew it was an SLR Maclaren. Yummy! I love a badass roadster.

May 30, 2008 - Mercedes-Benz A-Class

It is so tiny! It looks like a cross between a Smart Fortwo and a Honda Fit.

Mar 31, 2008 - BMW Alpina

I spotted a BMW Alpina on PCH on Friday. It wasn't the B3 BiTurbo featured in this article on Inside Line, but it sure was pretty.

Feb 12, 2008 - My Baby Fits in the 2007 Honda Fit Sport

I borrowed Edmunds' 2007 Honda Fit Sport for a little test drive of my own last night. I posted about it on the Long-Term Road Test blog and the Driving Woman blog.

Also, my baby is still totally cute, right?

What you can't see in this picture are the two other black BMWs in the far left lane. West L.A. is so predictable.

We are trading in our nice, but fuel inefficient cars for cheap, fuel efficient used cars. Boo hoo for my driving pleasure, yay for my bank account.

Jan 9, 2008 - Speaking of Electric Cars

I saw this billboard for the Chevy Volt at Hollywood & Highland a few weeks ago. I thought it was pretty cool.

Related: Some guy from the Midwest was in Hollywood.

Jan 9, 2008 - It's Electric, Baby

I saw this Miles ZX40S Electric Vehicle on PCH. It is made in Santa Monica. It was pretty cute up there on its flatbed.

Also, don't give me any grief about taking pictures whiles driving in traffic at night. I KNOW! Plus, I clearly wasn't being THAT reckless, or I would have been able to get a better pic.
