In case you've been trapped under a rock playing Magic: The Gathering, you'd know that it's the time of year for the International Auto Salon to roar into our lives with power and glory of a thousand Victoria's Secret models on parade. If you think we're exaggerating, then you haven't been to IAS. It's not just a car show, but also a life changing experience, like seeing Phoebe Cates rise from a swimming pool in a wet bikini.
No, it's better than that.
There's no other place in the world where you'll find more of the latest tuner cars, race cars, show cars, and performance parts. No matter where you stand at IAS, you're surrounded by the cutting edge of sport compact technology and culture. And like Shaq's free throw shooting, it just gets cooler and cooler every year. And this year, it's going to get even bigger with IAS East Coast in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
IAS East
Not that you needed another good reason to hit Atlantic City, the SEMA International Auto Salon has decided to let the East in on its yearly sport compact extravaganza. In addition to its usual LA show at the Los Angeles Convention Center, IAS will bring the carnival to the Atlantic City Convention Center on May 21-22. Don't worry, it won't be a watered-down version of the real thing. You can expect all the same bells and whistles you'd find in LA with the added bonus of...casinos!
IAS West Coast
This year, IAS hits the Los Angeles Convention Center on April 3-4 with more force than ever before. There's going to be room for twice the amount of show cars, bumping that figure up to 400, and over 1,000 exhibitor booths. And we're talking about all the big names, from Honda and Scion to Blitz and BFGoodrich. There's no other megashow in the world that's custom-made for the sport compact scene. So, make sure you bring along your VIP card. Don't know what that is? Well, keep reading.
