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.

L.A. Auto Show 2012

My coverage of the L.A. Auto Show is coming one week later than it did last year (due to time conflicts) so I'm a little bummed the internet is already flooded with photos from the event, but these are the ones taken through my lens (lowly as it may be in comparison to godly DSLR's).  L.A. really impressed me this year, and I hope you'll be impressed too.  Without further ado, the 2012 Los Angeles International Auto Show!

S.F. Auto Show 2012

The 55th annual San Francisco International Auto Show has come & gone, but I can easily say that it has been the finest year yet. The expansion included cooler attractions and better cars that I've ever seen there. Hopefully this is a sign the S.F. Auto Show is on its way to becoming a major show like L.A.

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.

The Blackhawk Museum

Over the weekend I visited the Blackhawk Museum in Danville, CA. Thus far I've only visited two auto museums, but it's a start. Blackhawk is located at the Blackhawk Plaza Shopping Center, cleverly tucked away near the back half of the plaza. It takes some doing to find it if you're not familiar with the area, but once you do, you're in for some very special treats.

Spotted - Twin Murcielagos

Last weekend I was lucky enough to see a Tesla Roadster in my neighborhood, but this evening I must've been extra lucky, because I saw not one, but TWO Lamborghini Murcielagos! I was out in Walnut Creek having dinner with a friend to celebrate her birthday when the two bulls rolled up to the valet across the street from our restaurant.  Considering Lamborghinis tend to be pretty rare, I knew I had to get a better look.

Cruisin' In The Sun Classic Car Show

If you're a classic car lover like myself, you know that summer belongs to the automobiles of yesteryear. The Cruisin' In The Sun Classic Car Show hosted at Fernandez Park in Pinole, CA was the first of many classic shows I hope to attend during my 3 month stay in the SF Bay Area while school is out.

Show & Go Car Show for Charity

This past weekend marked the thirteenth annual Show & Go Car Show for Charity in Downtown Riverside, CA.  For those unfamiliar with the area, Riverside has a rich automotive history, so it's only fitting there would be a show of this magnitude held there.

Spotted - Ferrari 308 GTB

Usually mondays totally suck, but today's been AWESOME.  Got enough sleep last night, classes went well, enjoyed a frappucino on the terrace, and I ran across this Ferrari 308 GTB.  It actually wasn't only car of interest I saw today, but it's the only one I was able to get photos of.  And unfortunately I only had my phone, I should know better by now to  always have my camera on me.  Even still, what a sight!

Formula Drift 2012 - Part II

Formula Drift isn't just about the drift competition, it's also an opportunity for aftermarket companies to come out and show everyone what they have to offer.  Naturally, that means bringing a few cars along to wow the crowd.  This is Part II of Formula Drift, a look at some of the display cars. 

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.

The Petersen Automotive Museum

Over the weekend I had the opportunity to visit the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles and I have to say this was probably the BEST automotive excursion for me yet. The collection of cars was quite impressive, every single vehicle on display left me in awe.
