No venture can ever become something great unless it has a good supporting network. For AutoCon, a Southern California based import car show, organizer Justin Fong knows that he can't rely on social media tactics alone to help build the brand, but that he can also count on a strong group of friends representing the likes of iconic names like RWB, Purist Group, Mackin Industries, Rocket Bunny, Bulletproof Automotive and Super Street to come and help do some of the heavy lifting.
AutoCon, when you strip down its layers, is not your average car show. Sure, its aisles are littered with really fantastic builds, there are import models just waiting to take an Instagram selfie with you and high energy dance music blasting from one end of the hall to the other - all the makings of an average car show. There is a stage up front that's purpose built to allow higher profile builds to be driven up in front of the crowd so that enthusiasts can hear the engine start up and have the owner provide more details about the car itself. Almost Concours/Barrett Jackson'ish but with more boobs, zero auctions and cars that are more relatable; in other words, AutoCon isn't like any other.
But you don't want to hear me tell you about AutoCon; why don't you see it for yourself:
While the SSA Auto NSX has made plenty of bunny hops around LA's show circuit, very few probably know that the entire front end lifts up and pulls forwards, as demonstrated by owner, Robert Chew.The latest from the RWB USA camp: the Creaminz-edition Porsche 993.Easiest way to score chicks at AutoCon?
