Last weekend I went up to Kalamazoo for the Naptown Roller Girls' away game. I'd post pictures of Kalamazoo and such, but I didn't take any! Either my friend and I never found the main drag in Kalamazoo, or that place is absolutely dead. (I'm thinking the latter is correct.)
On the way to Kalamazoo, my friend and I noticed the copious billboards for Auburn, IN. The advertisements looked so enticing that we decided to go on Tuesday. We were not disappointed. Auburn is the self-proclaimed classic car capital of the world, largely owing to its history of Cord and Dusenburg car manufacturing. Below is Elvis' car from the movie "Spinout." One suspects that the car is more memorable than the movie itself.
Auburn is also home to the WWII Victory museum, which featured about a billion tanks, staff cars, lorries, jeeps, and motorcycles. Mysteriously, it also featured a TV museum with an amusing array of TV remote control cables.
The same building also houses Kruse Carriage and Automobile Museum. Who knew that Batman parked it in Indy?
And why shouldn't he? We also have the General Lee AND K.I.T.T. (Inexplicably, I forgot to take a picture of the A-Team van, but it was there too.)
