Good Wednesday/Holiday morning to you,

First, Happy Thanksgiving to all, and Happy Hanukkah as well!

So, the

LA Auto Show continues through Sunday

.  And it's great to have the show back.  But it's much smaller than we're used to.

When went to the press event last week there are a number of factories that are not present.  But the cool thing about the unused space was that they had a number of indoor driving experiences. 

Why is the show so light this year?  Well, I think there are a number of reasons - all of them I hope are only temporary.  

COVID, high restrictions/regulations, general uncertainty because of the aforementioned.  Plus low inventories are all logical contributors.

Nevertheless, the LA Auto Show is a tradition for many SoCal car lovers and families.  So go enjoy it.  But know that it won't take all day to see everything.

Happiest Holidays to you and yours!

I'm thankful that you're part of the iDSC community. :0)

Best,
