Collected Con Los Angeles was held last weekend April 25-26th. This was the first time that Collected Con had a show on the West Coast. We were able to stop by for a little bit to check it out. It was organized really well and it was a very cool intimate setting. If you had always wanted to chat with your favorite artist or exhibitor there was ample time to do that. Lines were pretty short for exclusives and it was a relaxed atmosphere. There were a lot of people that showed up throughout the weekend. Got to say hello to some familiar faces. We took a few pictures and bought a few things which you can see in our pictures gallery above through our instagram. Overall, it was a great show and very well organized. Hopefully they will make it back to the West Coast next year.

We had the chance to check out the Fast and Furious Legacy Exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum. Its been 25 years since the first movie from this franchise hit the big screen. The street racing culture with import cars was blowing up during that time. It was an experience like no other. Car shows left and right. Everyone fixing up their cars. The import car scene is still going strong. It's not as in your face like it once was though. This Fast and Furious movie was huge back in the day. It solidified the import car culture and street racing. It got me to personally work as a promoter for car shows in my area and then a job in an aftermarket car parts accessory company for a little bit. Enjoy the pictures from the exhibit above which you can see via our instagram. 

If you're in the Los Angeles area and a fan of the Fast and Furious movies we highly recommend checking this out. While you are there, you can see cars from other TV & Movies on display as well as vintage autos and much more.
