Baron (Yes, I named him. No, our dog Baron was not named after the car, but a childhood dog of David's, Red Baron.) had been snubbed. Baron loved us. I loved him. He loved me even more when David came along and cleaned him more often than I did and took him for long rides on windy roads much faster than the law allowed.
While David and I miss Baron we still like to keep in touch with his family. We do this by ahhhhing at his sisters, brothers and cousins on the road... keeping his name alive. We also go to the Kansas City Auto Show every year to see what our Baron has lead BMW to produce next.
Wednesday night was exciting for us. Since we had been car shopping this was the perfect chance to see all the cars all in the same place. Plus, David and I, were taking Mr. B to his first car show. Braxton was in heaven and really showed us the little man he is. So, many people to gaulk at his adorable-cute-face and shiny paint covering some of the best (and worst) cars on the road kept him (and his Uncle) entertained for hours. Range Rovers, Cadallic Esclades, Ferrari Enzo and the Mercedes McLaren were among some of his favorites of course. We are helping to raise him right!
Before arrived at the auto show Braxton's Uncle Dae-Dae and Aunt E promised him one thing. A meeting with his future hot rod, and long lost cousin, the BMW M3. We looked high and low. The three of us checked the map. Nothing. They (BMW)said in the most disgusting of tones)) were not there. The nerve for them to think that they were above us. I was shocked and Braxton was totally beside himself. We thought Uncle Dae-Dae had lost it when he fell to his knees, arms toward the heavens, screaming, why, why me. I am not sure the 3 of us will ever recover.
As you can see Braxton soon pulled himself together when he and his Uncle found a replacement:
Thank you iPhone for you lovely (kinda, but not really) camera skills.
The Cadillac Esclade, at $84,785 before taxes and licencing. They have already begun to save their pennies.
