McDreamy & McSteamy (pic lifted from Ford)
It’s already that time of year again — fantasy car shopping time. Seems like just yesterday we had an L.A. auto show, or rather January of this year. I’ve always done these in the daytime but now that I see it’s open til 10 most nights, I’m thinking this would be fun to do first and then head up the street to Figueroa Hotel‘s Veranda Bar or even the Golden Gopher for drinks and wishful thinking after. And hopefully that way you’d avoid the crowds (read: families) and actually get to sit in your dream cars uninterrupted. Mine is obviously the Giugiaro-designed Mustang above but I don’t know if we’re allowed to sit in it, let alone play with those scissor doors. Boo.
For those of you interested in going, I have a couple of comp tickets to the show. The catch is you’d have to arrange to pick ‘em up from me and you can only go during certain hours of the day, like not the popular times between 12 and 4 on the weekends.
I just have two so I’m going to play favorites and give ‘em to the first of my regular commenters who emails me first. All others can still email me at caro @ carolineoncrack.com just in case all three of my commenters aren’t interested. Not quick on the draw? You can still purchase tickets online or at the show for $10.

HOURS:
- Fridays: 11am to 10:30pm

500 horsepower in that Mustang. Gee!
Who could bare it during the crowded times anyway? I’d definitely take the tix if they’re not already gone…
This is nice as well: http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2006/11/30/automobiles/audi.600.jpg
Hot diggity damn!
Did I miss out on getting the tix, too?
eep eep.
Sorry, kids, and thanks for playing. Jumpcut was the first to ask; blame his vigilant watch of the RSS feed. :) But go to the show anyway. You got one more week. I’m going to check it out tomorrow night.
I just moved here from GA, and would love to come to the La auto show looking to buy a M3 2007, as well as looking into the GTR, please let me know how I may go about getting the tickets.
a time machine would be a good start…
Vipul,
Yeah, this giveaway was for the first 2007 LA Auto Show. Sorry!
Robert,
LOL!
