Welcome back to the VIP European Auto Interiors blog! Last time we talked a lot about ways to beat the heat, get outta the sun during these swelteringly hot days, and today we are going in a somewhat similar vein. This time, however, it is not about hitting the sights or attractions to beat the heat, nah! It’s all about the upcoming events in the auto and car scene! Temperatures should be cooling, god willing, and that means it’s time to show off your wheels. Without any further ado let’s get into it, here are THE upcoming car and auto events in Phoenix.
