Year after year consumers are enticed with car shows where manufacturers roll out the four wheeled technological dreams of tomorrow and the over-priced toys of today. Neither is within reach of the common man, but it's a shit ton of fun to drool over the automotive smorgasbord of the elite (from behind the velvet rope, of course). This year, Orange County's International Auto Show features exotic Ferraris, Maseratis, Porches and Loti. But the truly evolved won't want to miss the Gumpert Apollo Sports car—rocking the serial #001, it goes from 0-60 in 2.8 seconds. However, the autos will have to compete with scantily-clad girls vying for the title of Miss OC International Auto Show. If you don't want to look like a creep, don't drool too much here, but who says the common man can't dream?
