USO represents brotherhood. Brotherhood was very much present in USO (Harbor area)’s first annual car show in Long Beach overlooking the Queen Mary and downtown Long Beach. There were Latinos, Blacks, Whites, and even a few Asians all united to view the hot cars under the hot sun. Thanks to the onshore breeze, it was not a scorcher.

Also hot was the action in the hopping pit. Here it was very evident that Blacks & Latinos were in good fun competing and enjoying the automotive sport of hopping. When a Latino’s vehicle from San Diego shattered a ball joint leaving the car practically handicapped in the pit keeping the hop from continuing, Blacks & Latinos cooperatively assisted in making adjustments to help get the vehicle out of the pit. It was unity at its best.

Also united were the car genres. There were luxury style SUVs, Imports, lowriders, classics, and trucks all showing together. This celebration of the vehicle shows the booming market of automobile customisation.

There was plenty of parking, admission was a reasonable $12, water was plentiful and at the best price seen at an event, a 0.75 liter bottle was $1. Can you believe that!? There were also plenty of booths offering their goods and services. There was also live entertainment put on by several artists with lots of giveaways. Plenty of staff kept the event running smooth, and not a single incident was reported.

For being a first show, the turnout of showcars was impressive. The venue itself was majestic as well; right by the Queen Mary and along the Long Beach Channel. Much props to USO on this show. We look forward to next year’s.

SEE YA NEXT TIME.
