P.Mike, had a good time at SEMA and the APPEX show. Saw a few people I used to work with, saw lots of "spokes-model" pretty girls, lots of outstanding cars and products. The one entire floor at APPEX was entirely Asian, with the majority from China.
Was a little disappointed, but also relieved with the new FFR Daytona Coupe. Definitely a nice car with lots of great improvements, but still 'way too difficult for me to be crawling in and out of. I've always wanted one but maybe 30 years ago, when I couldn't afford it, I could have been flexible enough to get in and out.
I'd strongly urge anyone that is a car person to figure out a way to go to the show. Just know that it's huge, crowded, and overwhelming. Legs and feet take a beating but its so well worth it, to me.
The most interesting thing, for me, was getting to compare the original GT40, that won the '66 Le Mans with the GT that won this year. The new one is a whole lot bigger than the original and it was presented just as it had come off the track. Broken body, tire crud, and all. What a car!
