Alright let me set the seen first...

Sooo, my dad gets some tickets through the BMW Club of America...They were special so we could get in an hour early. So first thing when we hop on the freeway...Dead stop ohmy.gif . We didn't think there was anyway we would get there on time....ended up being a flipped Exploder (Meh...). Back on track, Get to LA and we are having troubles following Mapquest directions (shoulda used google maps). Ok so we get there ON TIME. Try to go in and they say that the tickets weren't valid today monkey.gif . We spoke to 2 supervisors and finally got in...a whole hour before the public. laugh.gif It was soooo awesome. Imagine, your at the auto show, but no one is there except the detailers and the people representing the vehicles. cool.gif BOOYA. Totally cool. Rushed around trying to see the cars that would eventually get more crowded...Well, I should prolly show some pix first since you're already bored...more story after...

NO ONE'S HERE


M6 CF...


Audi S8




Lexus SuperCar



Bugatti Veyron



Writing more...Please do not post till Im finished

The Rest

Volvo's
IPD XC70 (my dad in that pic is 6'1" too...wow that thing is tall)




Evolve


Me with cute swede chick...I look like ish there dry.gif



NOW CROWDED!!!





Overall I had a blast. Best part was hitting on that chick for like an hour. She was supposed to be coming through Santa Barbara (hour away from me) at the end of the week, but I totally didn't play my cards right and at least give her my number laugh.gif monkey.gif . Oh well. Hope you like the pics...they are kinda ishy tho...cheap digi Fuji. I'll get more of my dad's pics soon too....

Man, LA was obviously much better than the San Jose Auto Show. LA had more exotics and Volvo didn't even come out to San Jose.

Ya San Jose is pretty weak, but SF was alright.

The XC90, wow, beats out X5's. And the Veyron, noo, did you get to get inside of it? OMG the sweetest car on the road.

And that's so awesome you got to go early.

"Google maps is the best. True dat! DOUBLE TRUE!!"



Heck, you call that crowded? Check out the Tokyo shows sometime. There's so many people there are some cars you can't even see.


That IPD XC looks hot.

This auto show was definitely insane. One of the best I've seen in years. I especially liked the modified cars more than than those in the regular showroom.
My sig is too big.
