For most car enthusiasts, the car they have is the car they are proud to showcase. Depending on the variant or means that make your car stand out, why not let the world see it online in a virtual car show to showcase your vehicle?

Well, Cool Rides Online invites you to do so and it doesn’t matter what year, make or design it has. You know what it takes to showcase a car on standard car shows so you can get to it. Car lovers are invited to submit photos, specs and stories of their vehicles that will be featured on the site.

Each month, four vehicles will be chosen to be featured – three by the brand managers of STA-BIL, Iso-HEET and 104+, and the fourth by Gold Eagle’s Engine Answerman – Bobby Cleveland – driver of the World’s Fastest Lawnmower. Besides bragging rights, each featured vehicle will receive a certificate commemorating their car having been featured, and free product from Gold Eagle Co.

Getting into events such as the New York International Automobile Show can be frustrating especially if you expect a lot of people to be on hand. With millions of car lovers locally and abroad bound to be on hand, one can just imagine the chaos of getting simple tickets to the said affair. Thanks to the New York International Automobile Show, alternative ways of getting tickets have been announced.

The New York International Automobile Show announces three ways for consumers to purchase tickets to the 2009 exhibition, which begins April 10. The Show’s popular e-ticket program at www.autoshowNY.com allows visitors to buy tickets online, print them at their home or office and head straight to the Show.

Consumers can also use credit and debit cards to buy tickets at kiosks (similar to movie theaters) conveniently located throughout the Javits Center during the Show’s ten day run. And, as always, dozens of regular box offices will be open and available during Show hours.

“The New York Auto Show is always looking for ways to make our visitors’ experiences more enjoyable,” said show director Candida Romanelli. “And now with three ways to buy tickets, show-goers will spend less time in line and more time on the floor enjoying the nearly 1,000 new cars and trucks on display.”

To help speed the entry process, show management is adding even more specially marked entrances for e-ticket holders and those who purchase tickets at the new walk-up kiosks. These special entrances will allow visitors to bypass the regular ticket entrances, avoiding possible delays.
