The San Diego Auto Show

            I visited the 2011 San Diego Auto Show with my dad and brother. Located in the Convention Center in downtown San Diego, the auto show was not exactly what I expected, but it surprised me in a different way. There were tons of car dealers, more than I could count on my fingers and toes. All the car dealers were showing off their latest models, and I could tell all the dealers were really trying to hype up their economic cars. Here is a picture of one of the "Economy" cars.

I think this is the Nissan Leaf

         There were also a few sections with luxury cars and some old cars. There was also a small section with movie cars. They had Herbie from Herbie, and they had K.I.T from the car series "Knight Rider". They also had my personal favorite, the DeLorean from "Back to the Future".

         One of my personal favorites was this stick car with gears and cogs.

            There must have been hundreds of cars in this one building, as you can see from a shot I took from one end of the Convention Center.

         There was a new Volkswagen Beetle, I had not seen one before the show, and I must admit, the new Beetle looks a little more sporty. This is a picture of me inside of one, a nice bright yellow one, definitely not my type of car.

          Overall, the car show was a success, I enjoyed the cars, and while a little disappointed with the lack of old classic cars, I enjoyed the full supply of new and debuting cars. The huge expanse of cars tickled my car bone, and I enjoyed every moment I was there.
