June 13 2009, Long Beach, CA - Much like it was advertised, this year’s Spocom was chock-full of some of the hottest models in the industry, as well as some of the cleanest cars on display. Fortunately, most of the modified cars consisted of clean and tasteful mods, and rice was pretty much non-existent. As if the cavalcade of models walking around wasn’t enough, showgoers were also treated to a dance contest, bikini contest, lingerie show, and Nicolette’s Lollime Bikinis show throughout the day as well! I was relieved to see that the bikini contest judges had the same tastes that I did and elected Bahara as the winner! In fact, you could say that it really was no contest at all! =P  There were also quite a few interesting moments, including lots of innuendo banter courtesy of Alexia Lei, a display of nunchaku mastery by Alicia Whitten (yes you read that right, she knows how to use nunchakus!) as well as a Super Bowl Janet Jackson-esque “slip” up during the lingerie show…  guess you had to be there!

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the show and look forward to going again. My favorite part of the show (other than the half naked ladies)- the Scion xD with the claw vending game installed in the trunk! I could have spent my whole day there trying to get myself free t-shirts! But I digress.. pics of the event as usual inside!

*06/19/09- Now updated with pics from the bikini contest, Lollime bikini show, and lingerie show!

April 2-5, 2009 –  The 2009 Manila International Auto Show kicked off last April 2, 2009, which lasted for four days, with the last day held on April 5, 2009. The focus for this year’s show was on the mass market Filipino Electric Car that was unveiled at the show, EVnnovations’ REVAi Electric car which can travel 80 Km with one full charge. Also, five Value Car brands were also launched at the show, namely Chana, Cherry, Foton, Great Wall, and Lifan. These brands promise more value for less money. 3-time Guiness World Record holder for Precision driving, Russ Swift also graced the event with an exhibition of his stunts.

At the last minute, after figuring that this is pretty much the only time where drifting can be watched on a professional level (since the demise of a stateside D1GP), a friend and I decided to go check it out and see if drifting is still as popular as it used to be. Surprisingly, it was, and the crowd seems to be a lot more knowledgeable about the racers than I! Although lacking in the production values that D1GP had, Formula D makes up for this with its numerous sponsors, entertaining emcees, and enthusiasm for the sport.

We took the time to cover this year’s Orange County Auto Show. Although not as huge as the L.A. Auto Show, this one provided a few peeks at upcoming models and concepts that many may not be aware of.  More importantly, this year included one leg of the Miss Hawaiian Tropics competition (which of course is the main reason we went ), which sort of made up for the lack of booth babes that we are used to seeing at these sort of venues!
