The 2013-2014 Seattle Auto Show

From October 16 to 20, 2013, the annual Seattle Auto Show returns at CenturyLink Field and I am an avid annual visitor to this once a year event because of all the new cars featured on this venue. Here are some of the highlights of this year's show...



This is me, hanging around with the brand-new sportscar from Jaguar, the F-Type. The V6 model of the F-Type is more of a best choice for this car because...hey, you wish for this car to be more enjoyable rather than getting an overdose of too much power. It's still worth a beauty to drive as a grand tourer.



There's me sitting near the brand new Range Rover.



A sneak peek of a new 2014 Nissan Rogue, which is known known to be the brand-new X-TRAIL crossover...



A brand-new Aston Martin Vanquish was featured on this year's show...



A close encounter with the all new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class...



Me hanging around in the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro...



Washingtonians can't get enough with the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray...

\

Infiniti's new Q50 sport sedan was featured and yes, it's no longer a Skyline because of the report that Nissan will start selling the Infiniti Q50 in Japan this winter...



New Mazda 6 or Atenza is featured and whoa, I love this medium executive sedan because of its SKYACTIV Technology, KODO design, and the fact that it won the World Design Car of the Year against the Aston Martin Vanquish and the Jaguar F-Type.



The new generation Mazda 3 or Axela was displayed for the first time at this event.

Are you ready kids? Toyota's H_ghl_nd_r (vowels blocked to avoid search query hijinks) Spongebob Concept on display!

And yes. There's so much more. I have more pics from this venue and you can check them out at my Facebook page.

Oh yeah, my YouTube playlist highlighting some of the new cars featured...



Well, that concludes my experience at this year's Seattle Auto Show. Hopefully, next year will be a lot better because hopefully, they'll be featuring the new Golf, the new Fit, the K900 (K9 in Korea), new Escalade, and whatever new models coming next year.

Toying around with Jake, Doc, and Sofia plushies

Now, here's something I can guarantee; I can guarantee that someone who reads this has a sibling or has a wife or their relatives had little kids under the age of six want to watch Disney Junior on their TVs. You did. I know you did. You let the little kids watching Disney Junior for long hours and when suddenly, most of the songs heard from the shows the kids watching stuck on your head and try and try memorizing it for the fun of it.

Here in this blog, I never do the growing up kind of thing. When we have kids, which in case my big sis has a baby boy, it's worth the hassle. When you see kids watching Disney Junior, you're feel free to be with them even though they're done for General Patronage's sake. However, I'm not talking about the whole "songs stuck in my head" stories...


I'm here because a couple of weeks ago, I bought our baby boy some plush toys of his favorite Disney Junior idols. I saw my big sis Elise let her baby Irvine watching some Disney Junior shows like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Doc McStuffins, and Sofia the First. She did, I know she did but this is too much and now, most of the songs from those Disney Junior songs really stuck in my frontal lobes. Anyway, look what I bought for our baby boy...


It's Jake! From Jake and the Neverland Pirates!


Yes, it maybe a plush toy of Jake but overall, it still looks like him from the show our baby boy enjoyed a lot. Since our baby boy Irvine enjoyed watching this show so much, he really really likes it. Pirates is what little boys love to play as and that character really suits him quite well.

Okay, since I noticed that our baby boy Irvine watching some girly cartoons like Doc and Sofia, I bought along plush toys of Doc McStuffins and Sofia themselves!



Ignore that, they still look like them but hey, having plush toys of your favorite Disney Junior characters sounds fun if you have kids under the age of six.


A brave pirate, a toy doctor, and a princess-in-training, now that's what I called a holy trinity. Wow, Disney sure knows that their image isn't just all about Mickey Mouse after all...

See how our baby boy's enjoying with his DJ faves...



Oh! Oh! He's enjoying it! Wow, I never blogged something like this before...

Cars GT6 Should Put (Volume 14)

In a galaxy far far away, just off our backyard, lies Leopaul's Blog; boldly pushing the boundaries of car culture because there's some CARS GT6 SHOULD PUT.



Cars like...

1) BMW Z4 sDrive35is '10

WHY: Only the GT3-spec version of the second-generation Z4 was featured but what about the normal version? How come GT6 forgot to feature the normal second-generation BMW Z4? Please take this into consideration, Yamauchi-sensei, and feature the normal second-generation Z4, mainly the sDrive35is version, on GT6.


2) Renaultsport Megane 250 '10

WHY: Same thing. Why did GT6 only feature the track-only Trophy version rather than the normal Megane RS250 hot hatch? Come on, do something about it because we need this one more than the old 2008 model as seen on GT5.


3) TRD 3000GT

WHY: The TRD version of the hit Toyota Supra sportscar, the one JDM fans love, was first seen at Gran Turismo 2 and because this tuned Supra has so much fanbase on it since its GT2 debut, I really want this Supra back on GT6. The hood, the bumper, the aero kits on this Supra, it's widely sought-after among JDM enthusiasts and do please, bring it back.


4) BMW M5 '11

WHY: There's a new version of the M5 based on the F10-spec BMW 5-Series and this one's powered by a 4.4L Twin Turbo V8 engine which produces more power than the old model's V10 engine. Since power is in the case, I sure hope that GT6 should feature the M5 F10.



5) Volkswagen The Beetle '11

WHY: The 21st Century Beetle was released in 2011, signalling a new look to an all time classic and so far, no video games brave enough to feature the 21st Century Beetle. GT6 should do better than that in order to feature this modern remake of an all-time classic.

The results please? So, if Polyphony's still on the rethinking process whether these cars I've mentioned will be featured on Gran Turismo 6, whether in game or as a DLC, you can't say that I didn't had a bit to do with that.

Take that to Kaz Yamauchi!
