Last week I had the chance to check out the 2013 Chicago Auto Show. It was my second time attending the event.
Four years ago I was unable to make it with my family and I missed out on the Transformer Bumblebee and Chevy Camaro display. I would've really liked to see a "life-size" (I guess a cartoon character can be life-size) Autobot. This picture is awesome, but I'm pretty sure it was more impressive in person! So I've been hell bent on seeing something cool each year.
In 2012, I attended the North American International Auto Show, aka the Detroit Auto Show. I thought the Motor City would have a bigger & better event, but I was sadly mistaken.
Although I've lived in Chicagoland all my life, I recently found out that when it comes to auto shows no one does it like Chicago. The Chicago Auto Show is the oldest and largest auto show in North America - 105 years and counting.
I'm not an auto enthusiast, but I like history and the classic car display at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show was like cruise night on steroids.
The classics were interesting to see, but when is a car more than a car?
When it's prepared for a ZOMBIE ATTACK!
With all the noise about zombies lately, I think Hyundai got it right with it's Zombie Survival Machine.

The concept cars are always cool, especially when they're Hot Wheels.

Kids and adults alike could partake in a physics lesson type challenge to become the world's best driver. Everyone got a souvenir photo and at least one Camaro Hot Wheel for participating.

| Seriously?? |
As for me, my taste in cars is a lot more practical.

If only I could I say the same about my taste in shoes.

I'm Just Sayin'...(Damn!)
