Got to love that Police Cruiser. Nice to see it on display, and not coming-up behind me.

Correct, no Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Alfa Romeo- despite the fact that FIAT just bought Chrysler and is bringing ALFA back. That 8C is very beautiful.
The nice thing about Southern California is that I saw more cool cars this morning than I did at the Auto Show. I went bicycling on Mulholland Highway and saw many Ferraris, a Carrera GT, 996GT2, early 911S, Lotus, Aston Martin, Benzes, BMWs, etc. And that was just this particular morning. I have not seen a Spyker up there, however. Or the new SLS gullwing Benz. All of the manufacturers except Porsche cut way back on their displays. Especially BMW. Their sport bike was the best part. Porsche still had their own hall with the 718-8 Grossmutter Spyder in the place of honor. The Cup car was cool, too. I even got to sit in the Yokohama booth's Cup car before they taped the door shut to stop people leaning on the door. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

I wish wish they had the Patron girls from the Long Beach ALMS race over with the Yokohama 997 Cup Car.

Today was the last day. My kid came in his own car, but wanted to go home in the GT3RS.

Judging by his shirt he is already thinking of what tire pressures and alignment will run best at a Willow Springs track day. A chip of the "not-so-old" block.
Great name, as well. ![]()
