From the Passenger's Seat

Happy belated 4th of July to everyone in America! Hopefully, you all had an excellent time grilling some meat or watching fireworks.  I had the opportunity to ride in a friend's Infiniti G37 to and from the Houston Symphony performance and fireworks show, and I thought I'd share some of the impressions I had in the hour or so I spent in his car. Keep in mind that the G37 has been rebadged as the Q40 for the 2015 model year, and will be discontinued after this year. 

Being a car geek, it's almost obligatory for me to visit some automobile assembly line. It just so happened that the Bowling Green, KY Corvette factory was right on our route to Niagara Falls, so Daddy-o and I decided to take an inside look.  GM really makes a show of their prized Corvette. From the Interstate 65, the National Corvette Museum with its colorful roof and giant sign is unmissable. Across the street from the museum are some signs guiding plant visitors down a small road to where Corvettes are born. Once you approach the buildings, you're greeted by a parked Corvette and a painted water dome. 

June 2015 in Acadia NP What an exciting time! The Odyssey has surpassed its 200k birthday!  Okay, it actually hit 200,000 miles in May. I "didn't have the time" to write about it. Now, though, I'm home in Texas on summer vacation just back from a trip to Maine with Daddy-o driving the Odyssey. I literally have all day to write this review.  I'm going to split it up in four sections. First comes how the van drives and rides. Then follows an examination of the interior, what we've done with the car, and finally how the car has held up over the 70,000+ miles my family has driven it.  I've actually already reviewed this car back when we bought it in 2012.
