Los Angeles Auto Show 2020 featuring, motorcycles, athletes, entertainers and more

Making another’s dream come true was a memory to cherish forever! The LA Auto Show was nothing short of amazing. Thousands and thousands of spectators of all ages and ethnicity poured into the Los Angeles Convention Center to behold the newest and the greatest in cars, motorcycles and other simulated high tech machinery.

All children like adults have dreams from the day that they are born and those dreams either get nurtured and become reality or are pushed so back into the subconscious that they are practically forgotten until something triggers it.

Believing in destiny is key and knowing that a lot of one’s destiny is set at birth. Yes, interactions, personally or impersonally can alter or delay what is or was supposed to be.

My husband since he was a little boy designed cars on paper and always dreamed of going to a car show but never pursued it. Life got in the way. I was totally unaware of his life long dream.

On Friday, ABC7EyeWitness news announced a car show at the Los Angeles Convention Center the coming weekend through December 1. I mentioned it to my husband and was informed at that moment with such sincerity that cars were a passion and he’d always wanted to attend at least one time a car show, anywhere since he was a little boy.

Saturday as we prepared for our day, we contemplated when to go to the car show for it sounded like a full day event. Usually we try to plan our day in at advance but sometimes spontaneity is a plus.

We dropped all our plans and made a mad dash for the car show. Traffic was a bit hectic but we drove and drove and finally arrived. Parked as quick as we could. Parking around the Los Angles Convention Center ranged between $25 and $35 dollars.

Yikes!! what a rip off!! We finally parked and hurriedly and happily walked toward the Convention Center. There were thousands of people everywhere, inside and outside the Convention Center.

As we stood in line, a couple offered to sell us an unused ticket for the car show. My husband was apprehensive but not me. Living in New York, this was a norm. We purchased their ticket and proceeded to the ticket window to purchase another. Got our tickets, went through security fine and finally we are in the Convention Center.

As we navigated through all the 2020 Cars, Custom Cars, Concept Cars and many more high tech vehicles of sort, it was amazing to experience the two halls of wall to wall vehicles! Thousands and thousands of people, adults and children, attended.

The atmosphere was comprised of high tech artwork, motors/engines on display and many other interior and exterior parts from car seats to engines and motors displayed on walls and encased in glass closures. It was priceless to see practically every ethnicity in attendance. All were perusing the cars, taking picture and videos which got us to taking photos and now I am thankful to share these memories with other enthusiasts.

The LA Auto Show was comprised of every car on the market, every size and many colors along with giveaways, simulators, celebrities, Pet Adoptions, attractions, promotions, virtual reality videos and free test drives.

Many experienced vehicles in a completely hassle-free, stress-free environment as they test drove the various cars. The lines were extremely long for the simulators and free test drives.

There also was a large screen movie presentation pertaining to various car makers and their capacity. After the movie, one of the featured cars drove on stage as spectators flashed away. Next to this was a forest, highlighting the ruggedness of cars and how they are designed to navigate a terrain unlike everyday driving.

There were benches, trees, flowers, grass, fog, all types of rocks and even created what looked like an overhead wood cabin with a sign, “only staff permitted”. This was a perfect feature for the real outdoors type. Many viewers hung around while others sat around on benches.

I applauded these car makers for giving a real showing for their cars and a very striking environment. You could feel the wowness of the people.

While the adults shopped, there was plenty for the kids to experience. From pet adoptions, video games, virtual reality demos, climbing walls, and kids’ play zones, there was plenty to keep them entertained.

The whole experience was akin to a big kid Kid’s Zone for us. We were mesmerized by the entire experience and these memories will last for a lifetime. Below are some pictures depicting our every effort to capture the reality of this 2020 LA Auto Show ith celebrities appearances, giveaways, and much much more!! We experienced the latest and most exciting high-tech virtual reality demos and video games from automakers all throughout the show.

Below are a few photos capturing our first hand experience at the auto show. Enjoy and love to hear your thoughts!! Clap and subscribe for more!!

Shared with a friend of my visit to the auto show, she asked if I saw the Tesla Truck and I advised not sure. There were so many cars and trucks, and she texted with a video with the Tesla Truck pulling another truck. I was surprise given the size of the two. My girlfriend is a fan of Tesla and has already ordered her new Tesla. Not, sure why she wanted a truck like this. Is she going to pull another truck. She claims it drives like no other. I don’t know but agrees with Will Oremus that Tesla may be setting itself up for a fall from grace to the bottom of the pit. Not a wish of mine, just a reality check and observation. I wish Tesla well.

In conclusion, life is a journey enjoy it. If it was a test, you would have been given instructions. “Live life like you’re going to die tomorrow and learn like you are going to live forever!”
