A friend dropped off a few passes to the show-

He runs a local dealership (and owns a great targa SC).

I've got four that I'll be glad to mail out those who want one or two! PM me your address and I'll get them out in the mail tomorrow.

I just got back. It was OK. They did have the 997 there and you could sit in it. I wasn't waiting in line to get in the driver's seat so I just jumped in the right side. Nice cupholder

The salesguy was a little perturbed when I started grabbing for the engine cover release and it wasn't where I expected it. He did open it up for me but he had a condescending "you don't have any money for a car like this" attitude.

I would have liked to see the Lotus Elise, but I don't think it was there. Nothing teriibly exciting about the show.

Probably saw the back of your Dorki shirt and started pooing his pants.
