I'm finally back with an actual car show coverage! There are two car shows that I know of that cater to upcoming/future cars and current/new cars from many car companies that happen in SoCal and it's OC Auto Show and LA Auto Show. I had the opportunity to attend OC Auto Show with my friends this year and let's just say it was a breath of fresh air to see a bunch of cars in one place. They had areas to test-ride certain cars and many small events were held inside the convention center. You can tell this year's event was mostly focused on EV cars, because you know... EVs are the shiet! Jokes aside though, people are choosing EV cars due to environmental issues, but mostly because of rising gas prices and I'm with them on that one. I'm going to separate the coverage into two parts because of the amount of photos I took, so let's get on with part 1. Also, please note that I had a difficult time taking a car photo in whole because of people being around a car almost every second, so please understand.

It seems like many of you guys enjoyed my Part 1 coverage on LA Auto Show, which is actually still going on till the 27th. I would say this is the longest ongoing show of the year to the public, so you do have plenty of time left to go with your family, girlfriend, boyfriend, pet (I'm kidding), or anyone else bothering you to buy them a new car. But before you go with a companion, please be respectful and keep yourself restricted from touching the car carelessly. I remember last year seeing a few people bashing on the hoods, knocking the body panels as if it was wood, slobbering their hands all over the interior..you get the point. As an automotive enthusiast, it really sucks to see such behaviors going on, so once again, please be respectful!
Today, I'll take you guys around the halls I missed in Part 1, so enjoy rest of the exotics, upcoming and concept cars, and a few other random things. To start it off, here's a masterpiece built by Aston Martin called the Aston Martin One-77. The price is just way over the top, but for being a celebrity in its own class, I would say the price tag matches its name. Only 77 units were made (get it? one-77) and started its sales in October of last year. It's been featured in many magazines and in video games as well, such as Forza 3, Need for Speed, and others. The one at LA Auto Show was the final pre-production car, so what you guys saw or see here is the actual car. As of today, it is one of the most powerful N/A cars, making 750HP from a 7.3L V12 engine.
