Car people, get ready — the 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show is almost here! Coming to the LA Convention Center on December 1st through December 10, it’s 870,000 square feet of all things auto.  The LA Auto Show is THE place to go if you love cars or are in the market to buy a new one. This huge one-stop place will be full of opportunities to get up close and personal with over 1000 cars, including exotics and specialty customized vehicles, test drive or just shop. It’s a wonderful, easy and fun way to comparison shop between different makes and models, including economy, luxury, electric models, SUVs and more. Read more about why YOU need to attend the LA Auto Show!

On average, people spend four hours wandering this large show. As a car girl, I think I’m going to be spending more. I drive a Dodge Challenger SRT8 392, so I’m all about enjoying the fun of driving, not just the vehicle itself. When you spend as much time on the road as I do, the ride needs to be comfortable and I need to have easy access to all the conveniences today’s vehicles offer, so purchasing a car is a big deal. The LA Auto Show provides the chance for us all to explore cars, to consider your next purchase and maybe just to dream a little.

I’ll be attending, courtesy of SheBuysCars, the pre-show press event called Automobility: four days of car debuts, speakers, competitions, networking and more, sponsored by Kelley Blue Book. I’ll be hosting at least a couple of Facebook Live events and Instagram stories while there, so be sure to follow along! (I’m being compensated for attending but all the opinions and photos I’ll share will be my own. I can’t wait to show you what to expect!)

If you’re considering visiting this year, check out the LA Auto Show website for all the information you’ll need. Tickets start as low as $5, and parking is available for an added fee. There are also options for public transportation and off-site parking to save some money and possibly time in the event there is heavy traffic. (There should be temporary signs up, providing parking directions, so keep an eye out as you get close to the center.) Early entry tickets are available, as well as VIP guided tours; check the website for those prices.

The hours to attend the LA Auto Show are different each day, but it opens at 9am daily except for the final Sunday, when it opens at 8am. It typically closes at 9pm or 10pm, so check the schedule, available here, before you plan your day.

You can follow the LA Auto Show on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, but you’ll also find links to other social platforms on their main website. If you’re on Twitter, follow @SheBuysCars, #LAAutoShow and #KBBBestBuy for information from myself, other media outlets and guests at the event. SO many cool things will be happening, so stay in the loop!

Here’s a trailer about the show, so you can get an idea of just how big of a deal this show is in the car industry and beyond. With something for all ages, you don’t need to be car-obsessed to attend. (Kids can play video games, test out virtual reality or spend time in a game zone!) I hope to see you there!

Winner must be at least 18 years of age and be a United States resident. One prize per winner. Prize provided by the Auto Show, not me.)

Meeting Will Smith was a highlight, and he was so genuine and kind, as was Masi Oka. I even talked with Tom Holland for about six seconds! Thanks to Disney for the invite to another magical night!

Instagram post 17905089130386487 Paying it forward takes on a whole new meaning when you are able to give charitable people a free ticket to a Grammy-nominated concert! That's exactly what Enterprise did last week when they paired up with OneRepublic for this year's Share the Code. Hit the Road. event. All the guests were recipients of a free code, selected in honor of their random acts of kindness, which allowed them to pass along the code to another three people doing good works in their community. The concert was a blast, and it was the most polite and fun group of concertgoers I've ever been a part of. Keep doing good and paying it forward, and maybe you'll be invited to next year's Share the Code event!
