Washington car show 2017

So here we are. Hopefully, as I learn about this new format I can get the current monthly updates back up as well as our event registration form. Please be patient for a little longer. It may take me a couple of weeks to recover data from the old site and post it here, but it will happen. Having little IT experience, however, makes for a steep learning curve.

Because of event cancellations due to Covid during we did not receive enough listings last fall to produce a edition of the NW Car Events Calendar. Hopefully, now that more events in Alberta, British Columbia, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington are being held, we will start to get listings for next year. Assuming that is the case, then we plan on having books available at the Albany Swap Meet this November and at subsequent swap meets in the Seattle and Portland metropolitan areas.

Obviously not everyone is getting excited about the same things or even looking at the same things. However, it is hard to dispute that it brings crowds. It was not any different earlier this year in DC. There were plenty of new concept cars, some with new fuel, some extra small, some self driving. Pretty much something for everyone.

Toyota showed some really interesting concept cars on the floor. On the right, a Toyota i-Road, not sure if that is still a car or a fancy tricycle. They both look small and you have to judge for yourself if you would want to drive one of them. A more advanced Toyota Mirai, a hydrogen fuel cell car, was also shown. You could actually see how hydrogen makes this car go.

The future is already here and you can buy one of those cars. They are a little pricey and you can only drive them in California. So for all those of you in other parts of the country for now you can just look at the pictures.

Among the concepts was Huyandai autonomous Ioniq. So for all those of you in other parts of the country for now you can just look at the pictures. Among the concepts was Huyandai autonomous Ioniq. Looking just like the rest of the Ioniq line it is well equipped with LiDAR system allowing for autonomous driving.

At the same time still looks like a normal car. Another interesting feature was presence of a lot of small cars. From a smart car, through a selection of other small vehicles. While they are not for taking long trips, they could be adventageous for driving and parking in a city.

However, not all cars were small, concept, there were also the special ones. Those that we love looking at, some of us can even afford them and they always draw crowds. The DC car show was not all just about the cars. Beautiful creations, super patient models produced just a superb display.

It is always fun to see the cars, sit in at least some of them. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account.
