I heard the LA Autoshow is being moved to earlier/later in the year (November 2006), most likely conflicting now with the OC Autoshow at the Anaheim Convention Center. However after going to the OC show this year, I will probably not attend next year unless I am looking for a new car. Porsche did not show up and many of the manufacturers were showing last year's models.

You are absolutely correct about today's vehicles have too much power. Many drivers today at least in the So Cal area are lousy drivers in my opinion. While vehicles have power to go faster, my concern is that they don't have the power to stop as fast or the concentration of the driver to maneuver himself/herself out of harm's way. The DMV is still handing out licenses, the test at the DMV has gotten easier and this in combination with too much power just causes more accidents. Driving has become a right and not a privilege. My solution to the problem that we as car enthusiasts should encourage is an advanced driving school that will teach people how to handle the power and handle their cars.
