[Car Review] Just Kidding Around in the 2018 Toyota C-HR Thursday 26 April, 2018
I recently had a big kid moment with some friends. We were supposed to go out of town, but plans fell through, but luckily we live in Atlanta and its always something random to do for fun. I go a chance to test drive the new 2018 Toyota C-HR crossover and we had a good time in the city with it.
The fair came into town and my friends and I was in the area and we were just driving around and said why not? Let try to get on some rides!
Well it was a fail and a win. At first the security guard didnt let us in. We got there super late, and they were closing. We convinced the security guards to let us go inside and get a funnel cake, he laughed at us and let us in! We did get in, and was able to ride 1 ride! Yay one ride is better than no ride! It was an air ride where all three of us could get on and spin around in the air for a bit. Another win, we didnt have to give tickets, the person who controlled the ride just told us to come on because we were his last riders. He was happy we got in! Made us feel like a big kid!
Earlier before we went to the fair, we went to two events and had a great time. We found this really pretty colorful mural done by one of the best local artist in the city, Greg Mike. Greg Mike has been splashing so much color in the city, we had to stop by and take some impromptu photos. We literally pulled over the Toyota C-HR kinda in the middle of the street and got to snapping. We even had help from some passerbys.
This big mouth character is actually a personality created by Greg Mike called Larry LoudMouf. It is Greg Mike signature, just like Mickey Mouse was Walt Disney’s signature character. If you see Larry Loudmouf you know some amazing art is nearby! Danielle, Talaia and I call ourselves #LushYumBeauty (lushworthy.com, wholeyum.com and kiwithebeauty.com) with our 3 blogs coming together for some fun blogger girl magic. We always like to travel and do fun things local, roadtrip-wise or interntational. We are always down for whatever…so just like this day…we just wanted to have a little fun with a pop of color. Just like Toyota slogan for this car…we Colored Outside the lines this day! Speaking of the Toyota (which I literally had it parked in the street with a little traffic) here are some of the cool features in it!

Now that was hi-tech and fancy. Also very convenient we all use the rearview mirror to look behind us so why not put the backup camera in this mirror?).
This is blogging 101. Never miss an opportunity to get a great shot! Even if you gotta park your car in the street. No worries, it was low traffic this day, and there were additional lanes for cars to go around us. There were even cars slowing up for us so we can take our shots! I love it – our local community understood we had to get this shot!
Just to prove the car was in the street a little. Hey random biker!
What I got from driving around in the Toyota this day is that growing up is a big trap. Sometimes we get so busy being an adult we forget we are just really big kids on the inside. Yes you should indulge in a fair ride every now and then. Kids aren’t only ones who can have fun! And everything doesnt have to be planned and scheduled all the time. I think “jobs” have taught us all that everything has to be planned out. Kids just go with the flow. Sometimes as adults its ok to go with the flow too. I am so happy I have friends like Danielle and Talaia that enjoy a good spontaneous day/night out! It’s ok to just get out and go, and don’t have concrete plans, just make it up as you ride around. If we didn’t we would of never found this mural or went to the fair (for free). Be open minded and just go places!

That car is so gorgeous! I love the color and styling. It looks like a great ride for some summer fun. I also like the fact that it looks like it will turn into a giant robot at any moment.
Glad you were able to get into the carnival! I love visiting them for the food (but not the ride. they make me sick). The car is gorgeous. I’d have to get it in that amazing blue color too!
Very cool post! I love the bright pictures. That car looks cool! I have a black edition forester. My husband keeps telling me to do a review on it. You’re right though we’re just big kids inside 🙂
That car sounds seriously impressive, and it looks like you guys had a wonderful adventure with it. I love that the security guard let you in, and the guy let you guys go up on the ride – how special that must’ve been (: The murals are absolutely gorgeous!!
First, these pictures are so cute. I love all the color and your and your girls are beautiful. Thanks for the detailed review of the car. I’m in the process of looking for a new car and now I’ve added this to my list.
What a fun post! Last time I kidded around was with my family at the beach.
I used to have a Toyota Camry– they are very reliable cars, and last forever. I’d buy another one in a heart bit. Thanks for sharing this. 😉
First of all that car looks amazing!!! The color is beautiful. Love that it’s great for families. Toyota is definitely a great brand. This will be going on our car wish lists.

What a beautiful car, and love the royal blue color. I have fond memories of my first car–a red Toyota Tercel, so loved looking at these pics.
Awesome that you had a spontaneous day out! Nice ride too! Love all the colorful street art as well.

Gorgeous car, and gorgeous pictures. I especially love the bright colors of the street art.

I remember when you had the Kiwi green car out on the town. This blue one is cute too. Love how you get around the city girl.
The car is very cute and I love the features, especially the safety features. It sounds like a great car to take around town and have fun.
