Ah, it's a bad photograph of a car! And that can mean only one thing: the Philadelphia International Auto Show is almost here! We're finding it hard to believe that it's already that time again, but it must be true, because whenever we go within a four block radius of the Convention Center, we see dozens of large trucks full of cars. And we snapped this shot this morning of one classic specimen already waiting inside.

The annual Philadelphia International Auto Show may not be until February, but right now you can order e-tickets for it and save $2 per ticket in the process. So if you need a last second gift item for the gear head in your life, this may fit the bill, since you can print them out at home.

We don't know about where you are, but it seems like spring can't decide whether or not to happen. Some days are warm, some days are cold, and sometimes you aren't sure which. Baseball may have started up (and soccer/football winding down) but it still seems cold out there. Unless it's not. Anyways, onto the -ists.

Cars of all kinds have taken over the Pennsylvania Convention Center this week for the Philadelphia International Auto Show, which runs through February 11. It's an auto bonanza with plenty of current cars on the floor, plus a few concept cars, antiques and tricked out autos.

We already told you about the Philadelphia Auto Show, but if you weren't sure whether to go, even though the thought of a sexy sports car turns you on a little (even without the bikini-clad women), watch this video, and then go buy your ticket. You won't forgive yourself if you miss out on all that horsepower. RAWR.

The Philly Auto Show is in town this weekend! We're reasonably certain none of the cars there will be able to transform into giant robots, but it will still be pretty cool. If you're interested in previewing the show, and you've got some extra cash lying around, festivities can start for you tonight at the Black Tie Tailgate Preview Gala. There'll be food, drink, and entertainment, and best of all, all proceeds will go to the Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation and The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

  • Kids from Philadelphia area high schools have been in the news a lot lately. First we heard that students from West Philadelphia High School had built a fast, fuel-efficient car that runs on soybean bio-diesel fuel (0-60 in 4 seconds, and 50 mpg, thank you very much) and got to show it off at the Philadelphia Auto Show. (Via) Now we've heard that teams from Norristown High School and Gwynedd-Mercy Academy tied in a competition to create anti-smoking commercials for MTV, and now both of their commercials will be shown on the network later this year. Awesome.
