You can do some rock climbing and enter to win a rack system and a Thule Bullet from Rack Attack, which is filled with outdoor gear from Next Adventure.

Now is the time to finally add those accessories you’ve been dreaming about. Come experience and see all the companies that can help you customize your ride.

By now you’ve probably heard about - and maybe even participated in - the Forum Challenge Contest that took place on the Portland International Auto Show Facebook page in December. In case you missed it, the Auto Show ran a contest asking car enthusiasts to post a picture of their customized vehicle on the Auto Show Facebook page for the rare opportunity to show off their ride at the show. The top ten vehicles receiving the most votes are on display at the 2013 Auto Show in the Aftermarket Showcase. Come see these amazing cars in person and vote for the onsite winner!

The Auto Show will feature the popular Motorcycle Pavilion again this year with an enhanced interactive exhibit space. Double the size of last year’s Pavilion, you’ll be able to experience motorcycles, quads, snowmobiles and wet bikes from all the big names like Honda, BMW, Yamaha, Ducati, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Triumph, Victory, CanAm, Polaris, Ski Doo, and GEM. This will be complimented with a full line of accessories, apparel and interactive exhibits.

Experience a vehicle the way it is meant to be experienced – behind the wheel. This year, the Portland International Auto Show provides plenty of opportunities to get behind the wheel with free Ride and Drives. This year you can enjoy this experience with multiple models and new vehicle releases from Toyota, Subaru, Scion, Honda, Buick, GMC, Chevrolet and Kia.

The Portland International Auto Show is excited to have the Camp Jeep Indoor Event for the second year. The Portland Show is one of only 13 auto shows in the nation to have the Camp Jeep exhibit, which is free to ride. The Jeep Test Track is an interactive adventure zone where professional 4x4 drivers allow riders to experience a Jeep's on and off-road capabilities. Product specialists will chauffeur participants in a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, Wrangler Rubicon and Grand Cherokee to allow riders to experience the legendary capabilities of a Jeep. Camp Jeep features a thrilling, "can't miss" hill climb where passengers experience the Jeep's traction capabilities while climbing the 18-foot high, 35 degree Jeep Mountain, the icon of the ride.

Riders are over 20 feet off the ground when they sit on top of Jeep Mountain. Similar to a roller coaster experience, many riders run back in line to take the Jeep through its paces, again, after experiencing the multiple capabilities of the Jeep lineup. Camp Jeep will also offer several other FREE activities within their display area. New this year will be a DJ, who will create a fun musical atmosphere to the Camp Jeep space.

A great new feature for this year is the Luxury Loft. Here you’ll find crowd favorites in high-end, luxury and exotic vehicles, located in the Portland Ball Room. This is a must-see feature showcasing the newest vehicles from manufacturers like BMW, Audi, Volvo, Infiniti, Mercedes, Ferrari, Maserati, Lotus, Bentley, Lamborghini and Callaway.
