The 2018 OC Auto Show was a great success by all measures. In fact, iDriveSoCal's Bernadette Sanicola was so impressed by the automotive wonderland that she lost track of counting her Top 5 Best of Show selections!
In this iDriveSoCal Podcast Bernadette shares her favorites from throughout the show. You will notice a big difference between Bernadette and Clinton, The Professor, Quan's Top Picks. And that's one of the things that makes cars and auto shows so cool. There's truly something for everyone.
Click play below to hear Bernadette lose track of counting 1 to 5. :-) And enjoy the pics she took. You'll notice Bernie can take a great selfie... but she needs some pointers in taking a really good picture of a car. If you'd like to offer her assistance you can DM her on social media - @berniesports!

Bernie's Top Picks from the 2018 OC Auto Show
Tom Smith: We'll do five.
Bernadette Sanicola: Okay.
Bernadette Sanicola: They're all my top five, depending on what mood you're in. So these are radically different top five, there's not a theme to them at all.
Tom Smith: That was five.
Bernadette Sanicola: No, that was four. Wasn't it?
Tom Smith: What are you talking about?
Bernadette Sanicola: Did I really just go? Really? Oops.
Tom Smith: You had five.
Bernadette Sanicola: Wow.
Tom Smith: Go ahead. If you've got another one, go ahead.
Tom Smith: Welcome to iDriveSoCal, the podcast all about mobility from the automotive capital of the United States, Southern California. Tom Smith here and joining me is not the good professor, Mr. Clinton Quan. Joining me is actually Bernadette Sanicola. Hello, Bernie Sports.
Bernadette Sanicola: Hello, waiting for my nickname, what will it be?
"...this is just straight draw, like what attracted me the most."
Tom Smith: I don't know, Bernie Sports I think for now.
Bernadette Sanicola: That works.
Tom Smith: We'll have to see. And the reason why we say Bernie Sports is because that's what your Instagram is, right?
Bernadette Sanicola: Yeah, that's all the social media.
Tom Smith: @BernieSports. Just @BernieSports. I always want to throw a .com at the end of that, but it's just @BernieSports.
All the background noise is due to our being at the Orange County International Auto Show, and we've actually been here, Bernadette and I and Clinton, we came on Thursday.
I think they came a couple other days as well. I'd stopped in another day, but now this is Sunday. This is the last day and the show has been a great success. It's been a lot of fun.
Top 5... or 6... Whatever!?!?!
The Orange County International Auto Show is big on the test drives. I've been busy manning the fort and doing the things that I need to do.
Clinton's done a lot of test driving. I'm not sure if Bernadette's test-driven or not, but what we're gonna talk about. We've already talked about with Clinton because I know what you have done is gone all over the show just like Clinton has.
Bernadette Sanicola: Found a certain corner.
Tom Smith: So the Professor and I did a top five and his top five I'll share with you after you share with me your top five, but Bernadette and Clinton are two very different people, very different drivers.
"They're all my top five, depending on what mood you're in. So these are radically different top five, there's not a theme to them at all."
All love cars but that's a slice of automotive enthusiast, right, there's something out there for everybody and there's something that everybody leans towards.
