LA Auto Show
How is the LA Auto Show these days? Thinking about going early next week before people are off for Thanksgiving. Worth a punt for the sportscar crowd?

I made the mistake of going on the weekend the last time I went. Tough to get close to some of the nicer cars, bunch of the younger set taking group shots and "selfies" to post up on social media.

Assume anything you want to get close to is either roped-off or being mobbed by people who can't afford it.

It would be interesting but it's a no go for me. It brings back memories of when my dad used to take the whole family. I remember the new '55 Thunderbird in robin's egg blue at one of the first we went to.

I've never had a problem there with anything. All very accessible, but YMMV.

The second weekend isn't usually too bad. Everyone who was too excited went the first week and everyone else is camping or something on the Thanksgiving holiday.

I went today and yesterday (press & industry). Some cool stuff, but mostly model refreshes and derivatives. Nothing groundbreaking.
