They're fun! As I've prepped for the Chicago Auto Show the last couple weeks the realization that I've been attending for more years than a millennial's life span has caused me to pause... I've been looking forward to this week for months now. Ignoring the weather forecast takes mettle, but I do it. I will... Continue Reading →
