Perry,

Deni and I just got back. I echo Bob's remarks re the tuner scene. Very bizarre! I would hate to be a small custom wheel maker trying to compete in that overstaurated market. Most of those things would make Liberace blanch!

The new Ford GT was there along with a vintage GT-40. I thought it was actually a very nice take on the original. Spoke to David Kirkham and he mentioned that they are making Street 289s in Europe but they sell so fast over there that they have none available yet for the U.S. market. Thought it might be Spring before they're for sale here. His speculation on price was $39K less engine/tranie.

SEMA is a trip! If any of you have a chance to go, it's worth it. Just wear comfortable shoes.
