Default Just Came Back From The L.A. Auto Show

All I can say is WOW!!!!

I dont even know where to start telling you guys about the show but I will say this: If you live in SoCal, get over to the show ASAP.

Between the Veyron, LF-A, ///M6, convertible Lambos, Lemans Ferraries I was like a kid in a candy store. I will get pics up as soon as my friend gets his camera back from his cousin. Hes going to upload the pics and ill make sure to post em up. Just hold on tight you guys,I have MANY pics


PS: DONT BRING YOUR GIRL TO THE SHOW EVER!!!

Glad to hear you had a good time. We never get anything good in the Bay Area.

I take it that the show ladies weren't exactly very well clad.

Got pics?

I'm going tonight after work. The convention center is right down the street from where I work and I'll take pictures and post them. I'm excited and I can't wait.

My guess is that they were very well clad, but the girlfriend didn't like spending time with her boyfriend by walking around the whole day looking at cars. Girlfriend + car shows =

Hey not true!

I went with my husband and had a wonderful time drooling over all the cars too! I still love the Bentley Continental GT the best!

Although soon I will be working at a custom motoring shop so maybe I'm not the average girl! But we like the car show too!

I somewhat unwillingly headed out there on Saturday night. Thanks to the grossly over-crowded convention center, I got to spend a whole two hours without ever making it out of the Ford brands section. I really don't know why I still torture myself by actually choosing to go anywhere in LA county anymore.

Me and Wifey had a great time last year at the NY auto show. She is already planning for us to go together again. But you guys are righ it is a different experience with your boys. So I'll probably be going there twice this year. I'll just promise to look but don't touch.
