Event Coverage | Motion Auto Show 2011 (Pt. III)

August 24, 2011

Night-Import: Photography by Nick Schultz and William Lee | Words by William Lee

MAS-235
A combination of cars and entertainment...something that's a bit different from how ordinary car shows happen here in Southern California. We've seen plenty of coverage on typical car events, but an event like Motion Auto Show brings in more people to not only enjoy watching cars and models, but to entertain themselves with other activities/entertainment, hence making the event less boring or tiring. There were a few dance crews performing live on stage, such as Booniez Crew, iDK, The Organization, and much more. NOS Energy Drinks had their own separate gaming section for all the spectators to participate in their own Super Street Fighter IV tournament. You'll be seeing some behind-the-scenes photos toward the end, so read along and enjoy my final coverage. v(^-^)v

Back to where I left off, does this LS look familiar? It was the car on Motion Auto Show flyers online and offline. The ride was looking CLEAN on SSR MS1s.

MAS-211
All themes in one Euro. I talked with the owner for a bit and found out he drove a longggg way to install the HPF Stage 2 kit.

Sleeping for about 2 hours and starving to death, Nick, Selma (our editor Edgar's sister), and I headed to California Pizza Kitchen to grab some food. Good times!

MAS-213
While walking back to the Convention center after eating, I spotted this Wagon and took a photo of it because of the unique Bosozoku look, but seems like one of the passengers didn't like the attention at all.

MAS-215
If you guys remember my Part 1 coverage, I mentioned how there were some Heavy Hitter cars outdoors and others as well.

MAS-216

MAS-217
I remember seeing this car at AutoCon last year. O yea! AutoCon!! The next event we'll be supporting.

I'm always skeptical when I see Kelvin's car because I know for a fact (I know you hate me saying this), he's going to win an award. It was the first Evo I've ever shot and the first time this car got an actual proper exposure after Bulletproof Automotive's feature.

_999_159
Model from the Stance Wheels booth.

_999_171
No offense to all you upcoming and professional models out there, but I personally think this girl sets an example of how models should dress up at a car show instead of being 80% naked. Classy, sexy, and hot!

_999_195_NI

_999_196_NI
Cutie/Hottie from K&N's booth.

_999_242
Dam! Motion Auto Show was just EPIC!! I don't know where Nick took this shot, but a perfect outro photo for this coverage. Thanks again to Pro-Motion Distributing and all the staffs that helped out with MAS.
You'll rarely hear me saying this, but by far, MAS was the most memorable event out of all the ones I've been to in 2011. The date for Motion Auto Show 2012 is now set so MARK YOUR CALENDERS!
