One of the car shows I missed out on last year was SpoCom. This is during the time period when I just got into cars and didn't know jack about any car shows or even cars in general. All I heard about before or after NISEI was the talk about SpoCom. Everywhere I went, it was SpoCom SpoCom SpoCom. Seriously, all the hype made me curious on what this event was all about until I looked through some coverage done by other blogs/websites and I understood why a lot of people were going crazy over this event.
SpoCom is not an ordinary car show where some mildly modified cars participate nor just DJs and a few vendors trying to make it 'look' like an event, but a mix of models, cars, vendors, music, entertainment, and various other things that define a true car show. Cars that were built to only show participate in these kind of events and missing one is like seeing a Ferrari Enzo passing next to you and not having a camera to take a snap (a bit exaggerating).
This year's SpoCom was a bit different from the past ones. From what I've heard, the original hosts of this show, Pro-Motion Distribution, are no longer a part of this event and being hosted by a separate group. Last year's event had a bigger venue overall, but because this year is technically a new event, it started off at a smaller location. Either way, the event was banging!!
With the help of MotorMavens, a few staffs and I covered this event like no other. We had a videographer, photographer for models, and the others to take care of the car show area. I was pretty stoked when a few people recognized us by our staff shirts and complimenting on our site. I would say that's the enjoyment and thrill I like to feel, which keeps myself motivated to bring you guys better content every week.
Instead of blabbering about what went on, showing you guys' photos will do the job. The show began at 4pm, but Media had the privilege to an early access, so I tried my best to cover the cars in a short amount of time before it got overcrowded.
Unlike other indoor car shows I've been to, my first step into the convention center was expressed with an awe. The lighting was perfect (still had a difficult time shooting), cars were looking fresh, and the staging was really organized.
The first car I took a photo of while walking around. Something about this Prius caught my attention and I was looking at it for about a good 10 minutes.
A'PEXi brought out their gorgeous Rx-7 FD3S drifted by Youichi Imamura.
Of course, I was expecting to see Heavy Hitters.
Crooks & Castles BMW Wagon on BBS LMs. I've seen this ride a few times now and never get tired of seeing it.
Beautiful classics I spotted at TORC 2011. The Rx-4 was featured on MotorMavens so check it out.
Gawd DAM!!!!! I haven't seen a Chrysler 300C as sexy as this one. Sitting on VIP Modular VX series wheels, this monster had a gorgeous fitment. The fronts would've looked better with some spacers, but overall, I give it two thumbs up.
One day...right?
Let me repeat that.. one day... right??
