Los Angeles Auto Show & $750 dollar Giveaway closed*

Every year I hear amazing things about the Los Angeles Auto Show. While I really wanted to go with Hubby this year, we just have been so busy (making a baby) we  don’t have time. Tomorrow starts the L.A. Auto Show and it looks fabulous! Especially State Farm’s Booth! They are hosting one amazing giveaway and offering one for one of my readers too!

State Farm invites consumers to their local auto show to explore The State Farm Garage and possibly win the garage of their dreams.  Visitors will have the opportunity to play a brand-new driving challenge game, measure their wing span against LeBron James’, play Home Run trivia, and talk to a State Farm agent. 

 In addition, November 21 attendees will be able to meet Jered Weaver of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim from 1-2pm.  The State Farm Garage will inspire car owners everywhere to transform their ordinary, cluttered garage into something that represents who they are and can call their own.

Visitors will also get the chance to enter the State Farm Garage Makeover Sweepstakes.  The grand prize winner will win a brand new garage valued at $35,000 from GarageMahals, and weekly winners will be randomly chosen to win a $100 gift card.  Participants may enter at their local auto show, or here: http://www.sfgaragemakeover.com/.

    I’d love to have a 4 car garage, with heated floors and work space for my dh to complete all of his projects. He loves spending as much time as he can working in the garage as weather permits, if it was heated all winter long he could get much more enjoyment out of it!

    A brand new car! lol, I kid,I kid. Truth is My father could probably answer this question better than I. ( he’s always dreaming about an ultimate garage. Me. It would have tons of useful tools for creating and repair!, an extra freezer, enough room for my car and another if I ever got another. and enough storage for anything/everything else. with room to spare. ( if I won this I would likely give him the lowes gift card anyway. Since he is the one who works on my car.)
