There are a lot of country songs about a Cadillac.
Do you remember “Guitars, Cadillacs,” by Dwight Yokum?
Some are sad, and some are happy like this one from the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
But let’s take a look at this long black Cadillac.
Any other fine Cadillac songs you love?

Today we went to a summer festival in Winthrop.
Along with longest parade I’ve ever seen, there was a car show.
There were so many cool cars!
You would be glutted for choice.
There was inspiration for upcoming Car Watch features, but today is just a taste of some fine vehicles.
Enjoy the ride!
The Pontiac Trans Am is a sweet muscle car!
Walking home this weekend I saw this golden beauty!
We enjoyed a sensational experience for car-lovers today.
Autofest.
There was a variety of cars and trucks!
An unusual variety of vehicles were on display.
I couldn’t resist all the fun cars!
We enjoyed old and new cars and trucks.
Over the next few Sundays I will feature more cars from the 20th Annual New Ulm Auto fest Cycle and Car Show!
I saw this recently.
I was surprised to see it also had a sunroof!
So where did the Volkswagen Beetle “Bug” come from?
It was made for the economy of the German nation commissioned by Adolf Hitler.
A more in-depth look at the Beetle can be found on Wikipedia here:
Yesterday there was a gathering across the street from where we live.
We saw this head-turner.
This type of car has been featured in many Hollywood films.

Last look.
So we went to a Tesla dealership to try out a Tesla on a freezing February afternoon. I wished they would have put us in a more fancier test car like the one on display.
Instead, we wound up in a black Canadian spec car.
The main difference was that it was set to be able to be stopped by cops, if it ever went AWOL
My husband took the wheel. Nothing like a standard or automatic. Completely new.
This was our test car. For about 30 minutes we traveled the vicinity on highways and crossed scary intersections completely engrossed in the digital features.
The Tesla is not to be trifled with. It has many features but the hefty price tag makes one reluctant to buy the aluminum wonder.
I was tormented by the amazing falsehoods one of the salesman espoused. He said the fabric of the interior was leather. Not vegan leather, but leather. He said the wheels were available in different sizes. But both were untrue.
The leather is a manmade textile, and the wheels are all the same size, only the wheel rims are available in plain or sexy sizes.
Not to misunderstand me, but the manager who took us out was a master salesman. He gave us some deadlines regarding tax rebates, tax deductions and low interest rates available.
The auto-pilot feature on the car was cool. We checked out all the extra features like the hepa-air purifier in case of a biohazard such as a nuclear war or shitty-smelling truck. We checked out the height element so as to raise or lower the chassis by a few inches. It was an extra hot seat that grated on me. I was very cold sitting in the back seat, but taking it up to level 3 was too much. I felt cramped in the back seat. The salesman could have helped by pulling up his seat a bit.
In summary, sold is my final review!
