    Thanks! It was a pretty awesome show. I got to ride there in Tim's 348, which was really enjoyable. The thing that I thought stuck out the most on that car were the side mirrors, they are mounted much higher than mirrors on normal cars, and it had a blue tint. I loved them! The interior door handles were pretty unique too. And as expected, the car sounded wonderful. Now onto the show, there were a lot of pretty rare cars there. The 250 Lusso, what a beautiful car! And that black 308 with the bus stop bench spoiler, in my opinion, was quite untasteful. The owner also replaced the gear lever knob with a leather....thing, really? I didn't really like it. I don't see why people thought the yellow Gallardo with the small spoiler looked bad, I thought it looked kind of nice. That Fiero with the kit that supposedly supposed to be "european styling" was really different. But it sounded so nice as it was pulling out! I couldn't believe that the red Fiat 124 Spider 2000 had only 11k miles on it! That's so low! It was also pretty cool meeting the owner of the silver 81 Spider, she was a little old lady and she bought the car brand new and she is the only person who has ever driven it, and it only has 53k miles. Really cool story. That red stanced Infiniti G35 in the spectator lot....OH MY GOD. So awesome. Perfect amont of camber, perfect amound of poke, almost perfect everything! Needs more stickers though. Then it would be PERFECT. I loved that car. It was awesome to see all of those STi Subies in the spectator lot. I am really into those. That blue California took my breath away, it was fantastic! I loved the color combo so much! The wierd looking Corvair powered yellow kit car was pretty interesting up close. The gear lever is on the driver's left side, by the door. That looked like a fun car. But it looked pretty wierd as well. That's all I can really think of right now.

    Not a "kit" but rather a scratch-built car that the present owner purchased as is.

    Not my "cup of tea" but intended to be a "street-legal" version of a Can-Am car from the 70s. Not bad for what it is.
