Where can you get the chance to sit behind the wheel of a Porsche, Lamborghini, and Ferrari all in a span of less than an hour? The Washington Auto Show of course! Between January 23 and January 27, the Washington Area New Automobile Dealers Association held it’s 66th annual event. The show’s major theme was featuring cars that are on the verge of going “green.” Many of the models that were shown were advertised as using alternative fuels and pollution-reducing technology. There were a total of nine acres of exhibit space, 700 new models of cars. Next year, for anyone who missed it, the Auto Show will return February 4-8. Auto-tech teacher Joe DeSio attended the VIP showing on Jan. 22 before the show was opened to the public. The show was set up for congressmen and appetizers were served for the visitors. “It was a night on the town for people to enjoy the cars,” said DeSio.
