Visiting the Petersen Automotive Museum has been on my list of places to see for a while. The Petersen Museum was first founded in 1994 by Robert and Margie Petersen. The Museum offers three floors of vehicle exhibits. Among some of the cars on display are:

Cars of Film and Television
Japanese Supercars
Porsche 911 Collection
And Much More

Admission into the Petersen Museum is $16.00 for adults, $14.00 for seniors, and $11.00 for children. The museum is open between 10 am to 6pm.

In conclusion, if you're visiting Los Angeles and you're a fan of cars, I would highly recommend stopping by the Petersen Museum. Also, if you're a fan of cars in film, the Museum has a section called the Vault that is filled with rare cars, and vehicles used in movies. The Petersen is conveniently located on Museum Row so you can also check out other museums in the area.

The 2018 San Francisco Auto Show

December 5, 2018

I'm an avid fan of automotive shows. Previously, I wrote about attending the 2017 San Francisco Auto Show last year. Normally, I go to the auto show and take photos of the event. This year, I wanted to focus on doing more video work instead. Hence, below is my recap of the 2018 San Francisco Auto Show.https://youtu.be/LN2OXkXJxYI

Price & Length

Access to the San Francisco Auto Show cost $10. The price of admission will last the entire day of the event. This year, the auto show was scheduled for Nov. 21 thru Nov. 25th.

Nov. 21 – Nov. 24: 10:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.
Nov. 25: 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.

What to Expect:

[gallery ids="3850,3851,3852"]In addition to consumer cars, I noticed this year was the number of exotic cars on display. Normally the high-end manufacturers are displayed in a separate hall. However, this year brands such as Lamborgini, Ferrari, and Porsche were featured in the main halls.

Summary: The 2018 San Francisco Auto Show

In conclusion, it was another great auto show this year. While there is currently construction being done to the outside of the Moscone Center, the show seems like it was unaffected. Aside from the auto show, creativity I will be experimenting with more video in the coming months. I can't wait to share more of the projects and my journey with them.

The 2017 San Francisco Auto Show

December 3, 2017

I am a huge fan of cars and car shows. Throughout the year, there are several car shows that are held throughout the country and also internationally. As a Bay Area local I am always excited when the San Francisco Auto Show comes to town. The 2017 San Francisco Auto Show allows attendees to browse over 100 cars & SUVs from over 30 different manufacturers. Attendees can browse the insides and outsides of the new vehicles and explore many of the new features.

Price of The 2017 San Francisco Auto Show

Ticket prices to the San Francisco Auto Show cost $10 for that particular day. This ticket will get you access to most of the cars on display in the exhibit. Typically, the San Francisco Auto Show is scheduled towards the last week of November around the Thanksgiving Holiday. This year, the event was held from November 18th - 26th at the San Francisco Moscone Center. On average, the hours for the show are between 10:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m.

What You Get

With your ticket to the San Francisco Auto Show, you gain access to several vehicles from popular car manufacturers. These manufacturers include Acura, Audi, BMW, Ford, Land Rover, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and many more. Several of these manufacturers also hold test drives for their new cars. I signed up for a test drive for Land Rover fairly easily on the day I attended the show. During the test drives, attendees can function as the driver or opt to be the passenger during the duration of the drive.

What You Won’t Get

Some things that you won't get at the San Francisco Auto Show are somewhat positive. For instance, when people tend to think of car shows they tend to think of pushy car salesmen who will do anything to get you to buy a car. Luckily this isn't the case with these types of auto shows. If anything auto shows such as these are more marketing and informational related. Another negative is that some of the exotic car models tend to be off-limits to attendees. For example, at Porsche's exhibit access was unavailable to their car lineup.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, the San Francisco Auto Show is an amazing event to attend. In addition to the available cars and test drives, manufacturers hold games and prizes for attendees to win. Whether you are planning on buying a car now or in the future, your time will be well spent. I look forward to attending next years San Francisco Auto Show.
