It’s a lazy Sunday. Though, still a great time to take the bike out and hit a trail.
Here’s my drawing of the lovable Mini Cooper.

Happy 4th of July weekend y’all!

With spring finally here, it’s time to enjoy the great outdoors. Walk in the park, bike on rail trails, go birdwatching, or (insert your favorite activty here).

As for myself, I can’t wait to take my boat out on the local lakes and rivers. And thanks to car racks (from brands like Yakima and Thule), it’s so much easier, safer and stylish to carry your kayak or canoe to any body of water, nowadays.

This is my illustration of a Mini Cooper carrying an ocean kayak, a fun contrast between big and small, yet fashionably cool in matching colors.

The NY Auto Show is so much more pleasurable on a weekday, than a weekend. I went on a Tuesday. It gave me the chance to try out an all-terrain vehicle simulator with virtually no waiting time. And the freedom to run around like a kid in a candy store.

I did a quick sketch (below) of the convertible Aston Martin. Shaken, not stirred.

Tip: When ordering online, use your AAA membership for a $2 off of admission to the NY International Auto Show at Jacob Javits. Code: aaa

Below includes pics of the new 2010 3rd generation Toyota Prius, Chevrolet Camaro, a purple Mustang and, of course, the adorable Mini Cooper.

One of the ways I judge which is a good car, is by how many (if any) cupholders it has.  The Mini Cooper has two easily accessible cupholders.  Sadly, the Prius only has one cupholder in the front.
