Long Island Auto Show Rolls into Nassau Coliseum

UNIONDALE
Long Island Auto Show @ Nassau Coliseum
1255 Hempstead Tpke. 516-794-9300. Free-$10. Friday 5-10 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.-10 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m.-6 p.m.

The commuting population of Long Island gets a chance to gawk at vehicles each and every day while stuck in traffic on the L.I.E., but how can you appreciate the fine contours of the rear of the new BMW 5 Series in front of you when THE DRIVER IS ON HIS F*CKING CELL PHONE?!?!. Get up close and personal with the offerings of automakers the world over at the annual Long Island Auto Show. The Americans—with GM’s fancy schmancy electric Volt, Germans, Japanese, Koreans and even the Italians—flogging the new Ferrari Italia 458, the best thing to come out of Italy since chicken parmigana and the Sistine Chapel—will all be in attendance. Walk around the cars, sit in them, drive some of them. Heck, you can even talk on your phone while behind the wheel of one. Just get it out of your system, because if I see you yapping away on the 135 I will honk until my battery dies. And then scream.
