The LA Auto Show runs from today, November 18th all the way through Sunday, November 27th. The Autopian’s goal is to have at least a couple of writers in our space every day that isn’t Thanksgiving (though the show is open [Editor’s Note: I will be there, possibly rebuilding an engine. Come help! -DT]). We’re in the Galpin Hall of Customs along with some extremely great cars. If you’ve never been to the LA Auto Show, you should know that it’s split into three sections, with the South Hall on the left (in this photo) and the West Hall on the right. Between those two halls is the Galpin Hall of Customs and once you’re in there you can’t miss us.
The show opens at 9:00 AM most days and continues until 7:00 PM or 10:00 PM, depending on the day. We will try to be there most of the time, although I’d guess the 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM window is the best time to find us. Here are some things you can do if you come:
Watch us blog and ask us questions. [Editor’s Note: I cannot believe we’re seriously telling folks to “watch us blog.” I, for one, will not be sitting on my computer while guests are around. WE SHALL TALK CARS! -DT]. Try to go on camera and stump us by asking hard car questions. Go to the Galpin Auto Sports merch section and get some Autopian merch Get your photo taken with microcars
You can even make a little GIF. We have some great cars on display:

Again, if you’re in the So Cal area come over and say hello! adjusts black turtle neck and flounces off It’s kinda like going to a Star Wars convention and the only person there signing autographs is the guy who played Porkins… On an unrelated note, do you know of any nice Triumph Acclaims for sale over there? (MOAR PLZ) No, mostly I think she’s just resigned to the fact that I spend so much time and effort working on one. It may help that I try to do my blathering here instead.
