Nice Pictures 
I really like that boxster cutout. I wish they had cut ot more though so you could see an engine and tranny cross section too 
Anyways, thats really cool, I wish they had big autoshows like LA or Detroit around here

Thanks!I tried to get better pics of the cut out but it was so crowded!
The show ends I think tomorrow.
And they had NO 914 on display...that is just wrong
on so many levels!

Just saw the last pic, you're daughters into cars? If so thats really cool 
, 'cause most girls are indifferent.

Well, that 550 is sweet.
I want to build one. (I'll probably get to it when I'm 40, being only 16 now. Too many car projects) | QUOTE |

I think they need a 914 to play with
If no 914 then atleast some other aircooled VW I bought one a year and a half ago and highly recomend 914s or any other aircooled VWs to highschool-aged people. There are too many ricers out there, I think we need to return to the classics

Much better than the SJ Auto show. At least you had a boxster and a Carrera GT...

Absolutely! I got started on a 1966 VW bug!SKLINE is looking around for me, and next year my
son will start HS and he is going to take Auto shop!
Yeah! Heck, I should have my daughter take it too (she is 16 like you
)So maybe I'll have the money to get something then!

Yes, it is a beautiful car! I really liked the way they had it on display,
the lighting and the pics in the background. Nice job!

Great photos. The one with the reflection in the sunglasses is very artsy. Well done and thanks.

Did you notice the piped in surround sound Porsche racing overhead ? It would start out near the entry door of the exhibit-go thru the gears and finish up towards the exit doors .The car actually shuts off the engine, coasts and you can hear the gravel coming off of the tires and bouncing off the exhaust megs Good marketing tactic and really unique to the show-- as no other exhibitor has jocked it yet ! Early 911 belongs to a Pelicanite ShortWheelBaseSam (SWB SAM)...nice example !
On the other hand, Ferarri/ Mas/ Lambo gets the Darwin Award for coming to the show and keeping everyone away from their cars 
You needed an "Invite" from your local dealer ( LOL). I'm Enzo'd and Lambo'd to lethargy already from Nov's SEMA show--but the pasta benders need a better L.A. car show plan . Brabus (MBZ) was eager to let us in the ropes and talk 8 and 12 cyls.
914World.com was represented by me and my foshizzlemanizzle Hat (thanks sean !)

So how many pairs of hand snips do you suppose they go through on one of those cut out cars????? 
Posted by: jfort Jan 17 2005, 10:22 AM
I was at the Detroit show yesterday wearing my 914world.com hat. Looks like Porsche had the same display as in LA.
Posted by: Sammy Jan 17 2005, 10:46 AM
See? that's what happens when you try and do an auto show in LA.
All them So Cal sawz-all happy P-car hackers cut up a perfectly good boxster. Prolly was rust free too. I guess we just can't have anything nice

What is it about mothers always scoping the guy scene out for thier daughters? My wife does the same thing.
You should encourage your daughter to take autoshop. And give her and your son lots of latitude with working on cars in the garage.
