AutoCon L.A.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to attend AutoCon, which was held in the City of Industry. It was a car show and toy drive in one. Some of you might remember Team Transport holding their annual Toys for Tots drive, well same concept here.

Well as far as I can remember, there has never been a car show held in an underground parking lot in Socal. Of course Norcal has their JDM Theory or WekFest shows, this one being different being that it was in Socal and it was also a toy drive.

Anyways, the show itself was dope. Anyone familiar with the scene would recognize the usual rides but it was good having new things to check out. If models were the reason you went, then they had that. If you were hungry and wanted food, on the top floor of the parking lot, there was three different food trucks to choose from. Music? Yup, got that too. Then, with any car show you look for the goodies. The free stuff...and they had free model signings, free energy drinks (YES! AGAIN!), free NOS sunglasses/stickers/lanyards, other stickers, and FALKEN BAGS! I actually went to the show by myself but after walking around for a bit, I bumped into a couple faces I knew. One of them being Ryan, who I actually went to college with back in the day. So I started walking around with him and his scion buddies as I took more pictures, grab more goodies, and also having his homies spot out the next female to take pictures of, haha. Yeah...so on with the pictures!

First thing I see when I walk in was this minty, clean ass hatch.
Walking around for the first time I didn't realize this was Ryan and his HFD (Hela Fass Dooo) crew.
Ryan's ride. Not too shabby eh? More pix later.
Who took this? Me, duh!
Sick ride. Didn't realize it had a Covette engine at the time.
Seen this ride come a long way. Nicely done Eric.
Carbon fiber wrapped IS? Crazy.
This Evo is money.
I <3 this Matrix.
The purpose behind this show: TOYS FOR TOTS!
Supporting the cause.
This guy was everywhere. Later that day I saw models taking pictures on this mini bike.
 The more I see this car, the more I'm loving it. (Sorry McDonald's, it's my saying now.)
This car is the reason why I fell in love with the A3.
 Model FAIL #1...FML! I gotta give this model (Raichelle Viado) props, she was smiling and friendly for the 
whole show. Seemed like a nice girl. =]
Model FAIL #2...FML!! Chaba's been around for a minute. Glad she's finally getting the recognition. Thx for signing my poster! Hehe.
 Everytime I turned, she (Jewelyn) was dancing. Props, for having the energy I didn't. =]
 Free energy drink #1!!
Really liking this picture. So professional, haha. I'm joking. Isn't Julie May cute!
 The picture taken after Ryan successfully placed his IT'S JDM YO sticker on properly.
 Check out three food trucks! Oh, and Ryan posing with his homie, thinking I was taking a picture of him.
 This booty...err beauty looks familar. Check out the Gymkhanna album to see what I'm talking about.
 The DJs doing their thang. Props, props.
I'll end it here.
