It’s been written, and now there’s even a cover! It’s really happening. Not a whole lot of details at the moment, but I do know this: Coming to bookstores near you in Spring 2014!

The Kims rock the 2012 L.A. Auto Show
This was the second year that both Ed and I attended media days at the L.A. Auto Show. We had a great time, and enjoyed many perks!
It’s a busy day …
But we get the inside scoop at all the press conferences.
We decided we want to be a Fiat family after the unveil of the 500L!
All the hard work calls for refreshment. Audi always has the best food — traditional weisswurst sausage and bavarian pretzels. With beer, of course.
The biggest surprise of all was that Tenacious D played a very small show at the Hyundai After Party! Carrie got to high five Jack Black, and Kyle gave her the setlist and his guitar pick. It was incredible to be standing right in front of them!
If you’d like to see the actual work Carrie did, you can read my stories on the Fiat 500L, Family Crossovers and the Ford Transit Wagon Connect!
Bonus: a short video clip of Jack Black on the Saxaboom!
Off-roadin’
A few weeks ago, Ed + I got to attend our 1st automotive press event together! We got invited to Calamigos Ranch in Malibu to go check out the entire Jeep lineup and spend some time behind the wheel. As Jeeps are known first and foremost for their off-roading prowess, we even got to take them on a trail and really put them to the test!
The 4-door Wrangler was pretty awesome, and I couldn’t deny how fun it was to drive. One of the auto journalists there gave me my 1st off-roading lesson and even though I was TERRIFIED to do it, it ended up being really awesome! You can see that I am a little tentative here … afterall, at one point I was facing straight down and they told me no gas and no brakes, just let the Jeep crawl! Well, it did … and it was exhilarating … and I kinda can’t wait to do it again! The best part was being able to have Ed as my drive partner. Maybe we will be the “Automotive Power Couple” that everyone jokingly calls us.
I can’t help but laugh when I see myself in the Jeep … this is so not my scene!
Someone had brought an old Jeep to the event and Ed + I couldn’t help be in awe of the retroness of its styling. We wouldn’t mind rocking one of these on a day trip either!
Why our new Jetta is a great family wagon
I recently had the opportunity to write a story on my new Jetta and why it works so well as our family car. Ruby + Ed even have cameos in the story — check it out here!
Carrie reviews the BMW 5-series
I certainly didn’t complain about reviewing the new BMW 5er, and it just so happened that the timing worked out perfectly – we got to drive it to Palm Springs on my birthday weekend! I always love a BMW, but surprisingly, I didn’t fall in love with the 5 series as much as I thought I would.
