CNC Motors Open House

Being in Riverside most of the time, I don't get to experience exotics or supercars as frequently as some of my fellow enthusiasts out near LA. Fortunately last week I discovered CNC Motors, a luxury/exotic dealership out in Ontario and heard they were having an Open House event. After perusing their inventory online, I knew this was an event not to be missed.

Danville Conours d'Elegance

I had the wonderful opportunity to attend my first Concours d'Elegance last sunday, and it was an experience like no other. Unfortunately due to timing, I was not able to upload the photos until now because I was travelling back to SoCal and moving into my new apartment. But patience is a virtue, and I do believe what I have to share was well worth the wait.

Wekfest L.A. 2012

Saturday afternoon I went over to the Queen Mary for Wekfest L.A. This was another new event for me, but I had heard so many good things about it I knew I was in for a great day. Of all the shows I've been to this year I think Wekfest is actually my favorite, everything about this event was choice.

Motion Auto Show 2012

The 6th Annual Motion Auto Show was held at the Long Beach Convention Center sunday. This event is one of the largest of its kind in Southern California due to its variety in automotive stylings and the number of vendors who attend. I had never been to this event before, but I was very impressed.  You just might be surprised at my finds yourself.

The Art of Automotive Cinematography

I'm going to sound like a total n00b, but I'm just now discovering how awesome Vimeo is when it comes to finding super cool automotive short films. The ones I've been digging up are beautifully done with nothing more than simple imagery, a bit of music, and pure unadulterated car porn.  The following videos are a few of my favorites!

Think Pink - Special Edition Bentley GT for Breast Cancer Awareness

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I usually don't like pink cars (so weird being a GIRL right? -.-). But every once in awhile I come across one I genuinely admire.  Just in time for Valentine's Day, I've come across this edition Passion Pink 2012 Bentley Continental GT in support of Breast Cancer by Symbolic Motors.

Video - Woman Driver!? HELL YEAH.

Nothing in the auto world is as old and tired as the "woman driver" schtick.  Some men seem to think it's impossible for us ladies to be as good behind the wheel as they are, but I beg to differ, and so does Jaguar Instructor Minna Sillankorva.  Watch her take the XKR-S Convertible for a spin on some ice.  Stick this in your juice box and suck it!

Super Bowl XLVI Car Commercials!

Who doesn't love the commercials during the Super Bowl? I think it's the only time we really enjoy our program being interrupted by companies trying to shove their products in our face.   That's because only the biggest and baddest brands can afford a spot (each commercial costs millions), so they bring their A-game.

This is particularly true of car commercials that are run during the big game.  They're always over the top hilarious, creative, and entertaining.  Here's a collection of Super Bowl XLVI's car commercials in HD!

Video - Lamborghini Invasion!

Here a 'ghini, there a 'ghini, everywhere a Lamborghini!  Over 50 of the fighting bull cars arrived in Loue Hei Dinner in Singapore yesterday, including Gallardos (Superlegerras), Murcielagos (Super Veloces), and even a few Aventadors! Talk about arriving in style!

The Best Present EVER.

While most girls like to get jewelry from their boyfriends, I'm different. Yesterday, after weeks of anticipation, I received my belated Christmas gift from mine: this gorgeous 1/18 diecast of the Aston Martine One-77.  Although it's not the official model, it's still highly detailed.  It's apparent it was designed with the utmost attention to detail, why else would there be such an insane amount of packaging around it (including the box it was mailed in not pictured)?

Video - Aston Martin Loves Women

Aston Martin is my favorite car brand, why? Because they get it.  They know their customer, so they provide a line of luxury cars that fit the desires of the people who buy them.  More specifically however, Aston Martin gets it when it comes to realizing that the luxury auto market is not only made up of men.  They understand that women also appreciate a well built machine.  To demonstrate, they've released this video with the appropriate message,  "Aston Martin Loves Women, Women Love Aston Martin." I think that's very true!

I love you too A.M. <3 

Spotted - Bentley Continental GT

I hope everyone has spent today surrounded by good family, good friends,  and that you've been stuffing yourself with good food.  In addition to your usual Christmas cheer, I had the pleasure of seeing this blacked out Bentley Continental GT.   How's that for a Christmas present? 

Happy Holidays!

Spotted - Maserati Quattroporte

Look what I found on the way to the post office! The gorgeous four door saloon that is the Maserati Quattroporte.

Jeremy Clarkson said it looked like a hitman in black, but in white? It's a class act.

This particular post was uploaded from my iPhone so the quality is not amazing, but it's likely I'll be posting a few of these here and there if I come across something when I don't have my camera.  Enjoy!

S.F. Auto Show 2011

Last weekend I had the pleasure of visiting the L.A. Auto Show for the first time and I had a blast.  This past weekend I went to the San Francisco International Auto Show, which I attend every year.  I've been going since I was twelve, and it just keeps getting better. The treats in store this year were incredible, and I'd like to share some of them with you.

L.A. Auto Show - Part II

Onto Part II of the L.A. Auto Show! This section will cover some more concept cars, as well as some of the most highly anticipated vehicles of the year.  And later, a bit of the Aftermarket Alley.  Let's get to it!

L.A. Auto Show - Part I

Last sunday I attended the L.A. Auto Show at the Los Angeles Convention Center for the very first time.  Never before have I seen so many spectacular cars in one place.  I took so many photos I'm going to have to do my coverage in multiple parts, so here's Part I.
