LA Auto Show

Tedd and I meet my dad at the LA Auto Show today. Some cool cars on display there. Nothing really, really exciting though. I'd hoped the new BMW Z4 Coupe would be on display. There were a number of really nice manufacturers showing off their stuff. I just love the Elise and there were three to admire. The Porsche setup was pretty well done too. I'm betting the new Porsche Cayman will do well -- we wondered if the Cayman would cannibalize Carrera or Boxster sales (or both?). Guy's day out at the car show, topped off w/ In-n-Out for lunch. Nice.
