Shiny paint, hot girls in tight pants, new car smell, big horsepower, powerful engines and steep price tags are spread out across the carpeted floors of the Pennsylvania Convention Center. I’m not a car guy, but everybody here is a car guy tonight. Brand new cars and wonderful examples of the past give plenty to talk about. I was very impressed by most of the displays. Japanese and German manufacturers dominated my eye, but American companies are making strides forward with better gas mileage and sleek design.

The night started poorly, with a heavy rain falling and Dad and I eating probably the saddest, dryest cheesesteak in Philly.

It got better inside the convention center where the glitz and shine was on full display. Enjoy the pictures.

The old cars were my favorite as they carried a sense of history with them.

The crew enjoying some bro time.

This is an amazing car, sized like a mini mini. No blind spots.

There was also a customized section where the car dudes could show off their creations.
