A Girl’s Guide to Car Shows & Auctions

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at ASU chapter.

These past few weekends you may have seen some interesting cars driving around your area: it’s car show season. Here in the valley there is one of the largest: The Barrett Jackson Car Auction. 

There are miles and miles of cars in a row, and if you know absolutly nothing about how a car works this is overwhelming and sometimes pretty boring. 

Here’s what to do:

1. Check out the types of cars you’ve never heard of: I’m sure you can find at least a few. There will always be that one wacky shaped low rider, or a some sort of truck with ridiculous tires. 

 

I saw Mater, Lightning McQueen and Herbie. 

 

2. Two words: FOOD VENDORS. Hot dogs, popcorn, Jamba Juice, junk food galore.  

 

3. Color shop. My dad got on my case for this one. My favorite color is Tiffany Blue, and I would take a picture of everything even remotely in the sphere of light blue. 

 

 

4. Get Artsy. Vintage cars espeially.

 

5. At every car show/auction/event there will always be things on sale. Shirts, bags, bobble heads, etc. I make it a silent game to pick the things I like the most and least.

She is studying Sports Managment, and finds it hilarious when people are surprised a woman is studying that. She dreams of becoming a sports agent and earning a paycheck that helps her not stress about the cost of guacamole at Chipotle. Her best friends are her dogs because they don't judge her when she sings Tom Petty songs and dances while cleaning.Folow her blog here, her instagram is @embrunda, her twitter handle is also @Embrunda.
