San Jose Car Show


Josh, Chris. Travis and I went to the San Jose auto show. Although smaller then I expected (San Jose has a larger population then San Francisco), the show was still fun and it is nice to view cars without salesmen hovering. Apparently the show was a little hard up for women to pose by the cars – wonder what he got paid.

One of the things that impressed me the most was the windshield wipers on the Lamborghini Gallardo Spider. Those were big suckers! Bet the cost a bunch to replace, first there is the fuel cost to get to the dealer (sorry, your local auto parts probably carry them), and then, I expect a minimum of $200 labor to inspect the wipers plus another $200 for the replacements. Now, since you own an Lamborghini, you don’t want to appear cheap so when the service manager tells you your tires need rebalancing, your engine sounds a little out of tune, etc. well, figure a couple thousand more and, of course, you’d feel cheap to say no.
