Auto shows can be tedious affairs to cover at times with rows and rows of cars everywhere the eye can see. So the lovely ladies in attendance always help create a lively atmosphere and break some of uniformity. Extreme Autofest 2010San Diego offered one of our favorite staples of the enthusiast show – the bikini contest. And for that we were truly thankful.

Twelve scantily clad girls worked the stage for a shot at the $500 grand prize and a chance to win an Ed Hardy bag. Many of the promo models and booth babes who were working elsewhere at the event transformed nicely to show off some revealing swimwear for the hype crowd.
