San Diego’s 2014 auto show was a smash! No scratched
bumpers or repairs needed. As the rims sparkled and the electric cars hummed,
visitors browsed some of the ancient and new in the auto industry. Running from
January 1st, 2014 to January 5th, 2014 the crowds made
their way in and out of the San Diego Convention Center to explore their high
powered hobbies.
If you are looking for new technology some of the
prized possessions of nearly 30 foreign and domestic companies were available.
Ford displayed their new hybrid models such as the 2014 Ford Focus with 40 MPG
and an electric run-about made in
South Korea with a total range of 30 miles.
Perhaps the modern cars are not so exciting for you.
The show also offered classics such as 1964 Ford K Code Fairlane or something a
little higher powered such as the 2014 Lotus Evora S. Just about everything in
between these two extremes were available. Most of the manufacturers let you
sit inside and some were available for test drives.
Families seemed to enjoy the experience. You could visit
Spider Man or take a test drive on the off road track. Perhaps the Living Dead Car is more to your liking (I didn't have a stick to compare). As I watched the off road test runs, I noticed
some went over pilings softly while others really tried their best to test the limits of
the vehicle. I hope that vehicle does not make its way back on the lot.
