A Must Attend Event: The New York International Auto Show from Friday, March 30th, through Sunday, April 8th, 2018.
In just two days, we will be at the New York International Auto Show for a Girls Night Out with A Girls Guide to Cars. We’re here to tell you why you should be there, too!
The New York International Auto Show is the perfect outing whether you’re going with friends, family, or solo. It’s a great event to even bring the kids along. There is so much going on, so much to learn, and it is not just about finding your next car. You”ll find music, virtual test driving, and even a Kids Motorcade Parade. With an amazing collection of over 1,000 cars on four floors, including the latest and greatest and futuristic concept cars, you will be kept busy for hours.
But if you do need a reason other than the car collection itself, we have 2 giveaways for you. First, A Girls Guide to Cars is giving away 10 pairs of tickets to the New York Auto Show and a $150 gift card to a grand prize winner. Then, when you attend the show you can enter to win 1 of 6 Incredible Prizes with #GirlsNightOutNYIAS. Find out how to enter below.
Why I enjoy attending the New York International Auto Show.
The location…You really cannot get much better than NYC for culture, shopping, and dining.
The brands…They are all here and then some. But, I am always thrilled to discover something new.
The learning…I like to know more and not just from the car brands. It is nice to have learning opportunities as well. Plus, the concept cars are pretty cool to check out.
Hand’s on experience…There is so much happening so quickly in the auto world and the Auto Show provides you with hands-on experience with all the latest trends.
It’s all under one roof…You can literally just go back and forth and compare cars in one spot. You get to ask all the questions you want without having to get in your car and drive around.
There’s no sales pitch…Probably the most important reason for many people! You can explore without feeling the pressure to buy!
While there are many things I am looking forward to at the New York International Auto Show this year, I cannot wait to check out the luxury cars. See, I am actually in the market for a new car. Recently, I learned about the Genesis and cannot wait to check it out and get behind the wheel of this amazing looking automobile. I literally had no idea this car existed or that it’s the upscale brand from Hyundai. Did you?
Why am I so excited about the Genesis? Well, there are lots of reasons.
First, I am so intrigued…As a luxury car driver, I want to see how it compares to the luxury cars I am used to like Mercedes and BMW. On paper, it has everything I am looking for.

It’s one sexy car…Beyond the safety which is my top priority, it looks like one sexy car that checks off all my boxes. Luxury in a car for me is about everything from the convenience of owning the car to the feel and look. I am excited about checking out the Nappa leather and wood trim that makes it a timeless classic.
The add-ons…The simple fact that as an owner, for three years you have a service valet, Sirius XM including traffic and travel link, and so much more is a huge plus. You have to love an interior that has been designed with the user in mind in terms of convenience and comfort. Oh, and it comes with smart technology like the Virtual Guide.

The only thing I have to decide now is what to wear when I go check it out and the only thing you have to do is enter the giveaways. Oh, and follow along on Instagram stories as I show you this car and the many others I check out.

I am a home cook that does things my way. In my kitchen, I make breakfast, pack lunches, prepare snacks, and cook dinner. During the week, we eat real food that is homemade, organic, and local. On the weekends we do explore more of our local restaurants. I bake my own bread, juice fresh oranges every other day, and make my own kombucha and other weekly favorites.
Thanks for sharing this. Your tips are very helpful. I am a travel freak and travel a lot. Next year Alaska is on my card.Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow mindedness., and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Next year I definitely want to explore Albany.
People often have a theme that they base their worldly travels on, but how about a mental mantra for your travel? Out of a cheerleading event that consisted of our family shouting supportive words at our daughter who was attempting to kill a rather monstrous spider that the rest of us were too chicken to get close to, came this great quote, “If you don’t think, and you just do….then it’s done!”
This quote came back to haunt me when on vacation in Seattle. I thought it would be a great idea to take the kids on the Seattle Great Wheel, the ferris wheel overlooking the ocean, but as we approached it, I realized how high it went and immediately panicked! Just as I had decided to put the kids on it on their own, my daughter says, “Come on dad…If you don’t think, and you just do….then it’s done!” What could I do at that point?! She was telling me to stop thinking and creating more fear about the situation and just get on the thing!
“If you don’t think, and you just do, then it’s done!” We all now keep this quote in our back pocket, ready to whip out at any time to push one of us forward into an adventure we know they won’t regret. No hesitations, don’t allow any time for fear to set in, and be prepared for your kids to turn your life advice back on you
