North American International Autoshow Pictures | Detroit Auto Show 2011

Jan 23, 2011

Most car guys (yea, I fall into that group) have always dreamed of going to what is arguably the biggest and most extensive car show in the world, the Detroit Autoshow (or technically the North American International Autoshow). Well this year my dream finally came true.

I got to spend the early part of this week working at the 2011 Detroit Autoshow. Working the show definitely has its benefits, the biggest one being able to get in before the show is open to the public. Thats right, no one stepping in front of the cars right before you press the shutter, no crying kids, no stupid people posing in cars they will only dream about owning someday. Working the show does have its downsides as well, mainly being you constantly get asked where the bathrooms are. I don’t blame them though, it took me a good hour to find them too! My bladder was pretty happy when I finally did!

So if you didn’t have a chance to checkout the show in Detroit this year, hopefully these photos will highlight what you missed (technically, as of this writing, the show is still open). I highly recommend it for any car guru, gearhead, or anyone that enjoys seeing state of the art automotive design. Enjoy!
