OUR FIRST CAR SHOW

I am fond of cars.  Not really an avid enthusiast who knows in detail car models by year and how fast they get from zero to 100mph.. but I get my share of cars. Movies with fast cars, car magazines, websites featuring cars, motoring and how to fix your car, etc.  All those, but have never been to a [real] car show.  So when PGA scheduled one nearby, I asked Tutel if we could go cause I really wanted to see one (haha,  did I really ask? or did I just say that we are going?)

So we went to Mall of Asia, SMX for the Car show.  There were a lot of activities at MOA at that time. Traffic was so bad that portion of roads were closed and finding a spot to park was a challenge.  It was only the 5th floor of the parking building near the Arena that was empty, so that's where we parked and walked our way back to SMX.

I was excited to get my first car show and of course I brought my camera with me.  I am not going to miss this chance without a picture!  Even before we entered the hall, there was already a porsche boxster outside which made me more excited.

After paying Php 150 for the entrance fee, we started feasting our eyes on the lovely cars.

The participants of the car show - Porsche, Audi, Lamborghini and Bentley.  I started moving around like a kid smiling and feasting on all the toys around me... Toys for the Big Boys.

Porsche... really my dream car(s)!  The curves are flowing smoothly from the back to the hood, the unique headlight shape and design, the big alloy rims with Pirelli tires.. I can't get enough of it... but I can not afford it :(  

The classics and the newer models.

Bosxter GTS.

I'll settle for the red one... Cayman GTS

Ah, the wheels are beautiful.

Lamborghini's were also very nice.  Unique door design that opens upwards... I want to hear them roar...

  
Bentleys for me is like for the executives (I think, haha!).  It looks broad, wide, quite spacious and classy... but I feel like it's very heavy.  Maybe not my car type.

Audi.  My favorite was the A1.  Small and yet just enough for me and Tutel... well, add the top down design, I like that too :)

I was actually expecting more from the car show.  I guess I was expecting for more cars.  and see those super cars with open hood and take a look at their engines (filled with awe), and maybe hear them roar... And I was hoping that one could seat in one of those machines!  hhmmm.... was I expecting too much?

Well, it was still an amazing experience!  Another first, but I'm sure it won't be the last time I'll see a car show.  As I always say, there is always a first time... and once you get that first one, you'll be more comfortable for the next to come.
