The problem with February is that it\u2019s the longest-shortest month. Beyond the hullaballoo of New Year\u2019s Eve\/Day and Valentine\u2019s Day and the impending arrival of Spring, there\u2019s not a helluva whole lot to do.<\/p>\n

Enter the Canadian International Autoshow<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 or just \u201cthe autoshow\u201d for short.<\/p>\n

Every year, big crowds converge on every floor of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in order to experience the many attractions the show has to offer. This year\u2019s awesome line up includes:<\/p>\n

eSports Arena:<\/b>\u00a0this new attraction puts participants of all skill levels to the test as they compete against one another in Forza Motorsport 7, the premiere racing game on the Xbox One platform.<\/p>\n

70 Years of Porsche:<\/b>\u00a0this feature display celebrates the evolution of Porsche over the past 70 years by bringing together five classic Porsche models.<\/p>\n

And last, but not least:<\/p>\n

50 Years of Hot Wheels:<\/b>\u00a0this year, the number one selling toy in the world is joining with the Canadian International AutoShow in presenting an explosion of activities to commemorate its 50th\u00a0anniversary.<\/p>\n

The not-to-be-missed attraction features a Hot Wheels super track, a dedicated display area featuring Hot Wheels collector cars, plus six life-size Hot Wheels cars, including the Darth Vader car and the 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS.<\/p>\n

Also cool: visitors to the AutoShow who upload images to social media accounts with the tag #HotWheels50 and #ChallengeAccepted will receive a free die-cast vehicle by visiting one of the Brand Ambassadors at the Hot Wheels exhibit on the 700 level of the show.<\/p>\n
