Autocon 2011

Automotive Connection, O.C. Great Park 

Autocon was this past Saturday!!!! Since I missed out on SEMA and HIN due to midterms and finals, this was an event I was really looking forward to.
Anyway, you can find all the pictures I took here
I challenged myself to take pictures of all the cars since it's something I normally don't do... Some of them were omitted from the album because the exposure settings that day were terrible and lots of shots were just junk. Otherwise, I got most of the cars at the event (:


My favorite shot of the day! I had a lot of trouble editing all the pictures because I usually don't post-process much, and the pictures from this event needed a LOT of work. Anyhow, I love how this one turned out. I remember waiting for the owner of this Beamer to close the trunk so I could get my perfect shot, but he was taking forever so I was like... screw it.


All the cars sponsored by Prestige Marketing met up at my friend's place before rolling out to the show. I'm sure it was quite a sight seeing this trail of cars cruising down the road!






Rudolph Silvia!!!! Definitely one of the coolest rides out there that day.




The `stache looks really fitting on this Mercedes.


There were so many clean rides... like this Civic!




Angry Mercedes be angry.


Cookie Monster!!!!



Really digging the light blue/aqua shade on this IS250.


Oh snap, it's my car model all modded out!




Something about this Lexus caught my attention... but I couldn't put my finger on exactly what it was...


Taking a look closer...


And closer...


Golden yellow pearl paint job!!!! Awww yeahhhhh <3


Sweetest paintjob on a 350z that I ever did see (:


The cleanest 300zx that I've ever seen.


Even the engine was pristine.


Mad props to the owner! The dude asked me for a pen... I didn't have one on me, but I gave my compliments instead (:


I want a Supra!!!!


Old school swag.

Of course being me, I was on the lookout for cool kicks as well...



Some dude rocking Aqua 8's!


Kid got kicks!


If there's a crowd, it's either a) free stuff, or b) models.


Happy holidays! (:


My fingers look scary here... but oh well. I caught the sun! :P

Had no idea how much personality cars can have! Also had no idea that cars could get aqua-blue rims. Very cool.
