AutoWeekCarShow

  1. Vaughn: My show favorite? The Big Oly Bronco tribute at Bilstein booth. Over the top, authentic, made by a guy who just wanted to make it.
  2. Vaughn: I have yet to see a Camaro that was ugly, tacky or poorly slopped together. Says a lot about the basic design of this cool car.
  3. Vaughn: Think I'm the only guy in the history of Vegas who has tried to get around by bicycle. At the Palazzo they wanted to valet park it!
  4. Migliore: There seems to be fewer booth babes this year. Is it the economy?
  5. Migilore: Talked to pro difter Vaughn Gittin Jr. He's got a refeshing take on the Mustang--simple and sporty. Puts him in the minority here.
  6. Vaughn: Sat next to the Bergenholz bros, Ed and Ron, at the FD conference. "Drag racing's done," said Ron. "Drift is where it's at."
  7. Vaughn: Formula Drift will add an Asian championship in 2010. U.S. series will again consist of 7 events.
  8. Vaughn: Formula Drift's Jim Liaw said 2009 was a tough year with sponsorships and revenues down but ticket sales and attendance up.
  9. Vaughn: FD had a 32-car bracket in 2008 instead of 16 to get more exposure for more teams.
  10. Vaughn: Formula Drift press conference. FD had its best year ever in 2009.
  11. Vaughn: Problem with X Prize is defining anything. One man's mpg is another man's marketing stunt.
  12. Vaughn: Just spent way too long at the Automotive X Prize talking to some mad scientist from Argonne Labs. I was begging for death.
  13. Migliore: The Subaru stand is perhaps the most racing oriented, considering it's size. Several of the displays are racers. Kinda cool.
  14. Migliore: The Galpin Auto Mustang is worth a look at the Ford stand. The colors are crazy--but not too crazy, and it's a convertible.
  15. Vaughn: The booth babe count has plummeted. The ones here all have something wrong, like misspelled tattoos. What has happened to SEMA?
  16. Vaughn: I swear, if I encounter one more incidence of over-hyped public relations hyperbole I'm going to hurl.
  17. Migliore: New Saleen S281 has a heck of a coat of paint. It'll cost ya, but it really sets off the subtle design mods.
  18. Migliore: The basement of SEMA has tons of bling. Cars and models. It's a journey to get down there, but worth it!
  19. Migliore: Lingenfelter Trans-Am is gorgeous. Hopefully they build a few of them.
  20. Migliore: Busy morning. Talking to both Steve Saleen and Saleen Performance, and the Lingenfelter guys. That's a lot of hp before lunch!
