Okay, so here are the details for the very first Autopian Car Show, which The Autopian boss Beau Boeckmann will be hosting on his property that I like to describe as automotive mecca. It’s a really special place, and you’re going to want to see it. Anyway, without further ado:
Date: Saturday, August 13, 2022 Time: 11 A.M. to 2 P.M. Place: Galpin Auto Sports parking lot — 15600 Roscoe Blvd, Van Nuys, CA 91406 Who will be in attendance: Jason Torchinsky Matt Hardigree Mercedes Streeter Beau Boeckmann Huibert Mees Thomas Hundal Mark Tucker David Tracy Hopefully many cool Autopian readers Cars that will be in attendance: Beau’s legendary car collection A broken 1959 Nash Metropolitan A Citroën LNA to (at least they said it’ll be there) Who knows? But trust us, it’s going to be good.
RSVP on our Facebook page!
Come chat with Huibert and me about geeky engineering stuff, talk with Beau about the auto industry, try not to get tired of Jason chatting your ear off about taillights [Editor’s Note: If David gives us too much guff, we can sneak off to Flashing Amber’s, the Valley’s sixth-best taillight bar – JT] , learn about all the weirdest RVs and campers and buses from Mercedes, chat about miniature radio-control cars and shitboxes with Mark, and beware of getting Thomas started talking about BMW minutiae because he won’t stop. It’s gonna be good. We’re beyond excited to meet you and your car! Might I suggest something? I don’t know your reader base, but at some time in the future, now that you’ll have a West Coast presence, think of holding something in the Paso Robles area. It’s approximately halfway between the Bay and LA areas, little towns with nice open parks you can reserve for this kind of thing, and a renowned wine region. Heck you even do the coastal town of Morro Bay, cool temps, and it’s at the bottom of hwy 1 coming from Monterey, always a beautiful drive. Might could pull folks in from both bay and LA areas for a bigger meet up. For what it’s worth, I counted more Rivian pickups (5) than Subaru Legacy sedans (3) during my time on the freeways and surface streets of Southern California.
