OC Auto Show 2018

It’s October, and that means it’s time for the OC Auto Show at the Anaheim Convention Center. I always enjoy it and this year was no exception.

Some years I attend, because I’m shopping for a new car. This year I went to see what’s new and to dream about what I might get in the future. My current car is just two years old and I just got a new one for my youngest a few months ago. So we are set for now, but still had a fantastic time at the show.

Cars are much more than just transportation for me, so I’m always awed by vehicles with that wow factor. I want a car that makes me smile when I see it and, also, when I drive it. As a frequent road tripper, I appreciate a car that is a joy inside and out.

As I walked the floor at the Orange County Auto Show, I took note of the cars that caught my eye. Some of them are high end exotics that most of us will only dream about, but others are priced to fit into the average American budget.

Check out what caught my eye in the photo gallery slideshow. You’ll notice that I have a “type” that is similar whether the car has a price tag of $25,000 or a couple million.

In addition to the exotic cars and sports cars that were calling to me, a few others stood out for their fun factor. I took a ride in a Rubicon at Camp Jeep, and had fun with the off road experience. Also, the Toyota i-Road looks like it will be a great alternative transportation choice for city dwellers.
