First Car Show
I took my CSE to its first car show last Saturday. This was an all-electric gathering called Autopia2099. I drove my car in and out of the show but, since it doesn't currently have a windshield, doors, etc., I trailered it and unloaded nearby. Still, it was great to drive and show off a work in progress to fellow EV enthusiasts.

Part of the reason for attending was to meet up with SuperfastMatt and his 1950 Jaguar Model 3 conversion. While he declined my invite to a shifter kart race, we had some good discussions. It turns out he used to own a Honda 125cc shifter kart but only did one race. He has a new project in the works that will hopefully defend his superfast moniker.

A lot of the vehicles were just new cars (Rivan trucks, Porsche Taycans, Teslas, etc.) but there were a few other conversions, including a Corvair, classic Mini, Honda S2000, Mustang, and the usual VWs. Nissan brought a FormulaE racecar and a couple pre-production examples of their upcoming Ariya small SUV. The space is growing for sure.
