The 2013 Chicago Auto Show’s Women’s Day #SMP13 2/12

January 23, 2013 by Momstart 2 Comments

Having the opportunity to test drive so many cars lately has my interested in cars peeked. I mean, I’ve always enjoyed car shows. There is just something fun about a shiny car and how the body of cars varies so much from car to car and year to year. I received an invitation to the The 2013 Chicago Auto Show, unfortunately I won’t be able to attend but I’m sending Kas from Southern Bells Ways to Save in my place and she’s going to be covering the event for us at the press preview day.

The Chicago Auto Show realizes that women make purchasing decisions for the family, even big shopping decisions like car purchases, so they have a Women’s Day. Historically, Women’s Day has been filled with professional female guest speakers, manicure stations, delectable desserts and more. The Chicago Auto Show will again hold its annual Women’s Day event this year on Tuesday, February 12. Admission to the show is offered at a half-price discount – at just $6 a ticket – for all female attendees. The 2013 Chicago Auto Show’s Women’s Day is set to be a spectacular event that no lady will want to miss.

“It also serves as one of the best ways to accomplish a comparison shopping expedition for their new vehicle,” says 2012 auto show
Chairman Steve Foley Jr. “Instead of spending a day in the cold of going from dealership to dealership, shoppers can take a leisurely stroll around the show floor and get excellent advice and information from every manufacturer’s display and product specialists. And don’t be surprised if the specialist from “Brand A” doesn’t know everything about “Brand B” if they’re competing in the same segment. Everyone is very well schooled in helping potential customers make informed decisions. We’ve said for years that the best customer for any product is one who is well-informed. What better place to gather information than at the show?”image

I really wish I was going, my husband and I could really use a new car. Sharing one car is doable, but driving us both crazy too.  There are so many different brands, Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, Acura, Lexus, Volvo, Jaguar, Ford, Dodge, Jeep, Subaru, Honda, GMC, Buick, Audi and many more.  You might want to make plans to attend on Women’s Day to save money and learn about all your options for your next car. Take advantage of the show’s website, www.ChicagoAutoShow.com, where, you can plan your adventure. You’ll find everything from getting to the show, where to park, show floor maps and listings of celebrity appearances to the show’s history section, buyers’ links and extensive photography. It’s a great place to start.

My Transportation to Park City Utah The Honda CR-V Old Fashion Road Trip

July 19, 2012 by Momstart 7 Comments

Wow, so when I decided to do a road trip I knew I was going to need a car. I have the opportunity to review cars and I thought it would be awesome to review a car as we drove through the Oregon trail on our way to Utah. I needed a car that would pair with my Windows Phone easily and get really good gas mileage. The Honda CR-V was the car that was available to review and it did not let me down. In fact it left me wanting a new car really bad.

I remembered that I actually love driving a car. I love driving long distances and I was comfortable the whole time and so were the children.I used the ECON button inside while I was driving on the highway and my average MPG for my trip to Utah and back to Washington state was 30 MPG.

I loved the spacing in the Honda CR-V. We quickly filled dup the car and started living in it. In the front seat I loaded up a bunch of snacks, toys and activities to keep us busy for hours at a time. My husband made me a USB stick of music so that I would never run out of something to keep me awake on the road. I found that I was actually energized while I was in the car.

The AC worked great and I just loved everything about it. Pushing on the gas felt so responsive and I felt like I was in quite a small car, even though it was full of extra room for everything we packed up and we didn’t pack light. Everything I needed to do I could do from the steering wheel. I changed the music inputs, I changed the display on the dash, and I paired my phone making phone calls and texts. I could easily reach behind me to hand the kids snacks and also get my own. When they dropped their toys most of the time I could reach them and when I couldn’t they would tell me to “pull back” which actually meant stop! I told them to wait and they did. I also loved the rear camera for backing up it felt like it was much wider than my actual view was. The Honda worked quite well in the mountains, in the valleys and in the rain. I hate driving in the rain but I felt quite safe in the Honda.

We had the most wonderful road trip and made some great memories in this car. The base price is about 22,495.

I was allowed to use the Honda CR-V to drive on my road trip to Utah.
