Attended the Cars in the Park show in Meridian, ID yesterday. Great turnout of cars of all kinds, probably 400 or more. It took us four hours to walk the aisles.'

Out of that crowd, I counted seven S550s including mine, which I did show. Interesting breakdowns:

7 Fastbacks, no Verts
5 GTs, one EB, one LE
5 PPs (including the EB and the LE), 2 not
4 MTs, 3 ATs (including the EB PP and the LE)
7 Premiums, no Base
1 LE, 2 AP, 1 Redline PCAG, 3 Ebony leather
1 Recaro (a GT PP Ebony), 6 standard seats
1 FRPP exhaust (the Recaro GT PP)
1 Flowmaster Axle-back (another of the GT PPs)
1 Kona Blue (LE)
1 DIB (GT PP)
2 Competition Orange (GT PP, EB PP)
1 Silver (GT AT)
1 Race Red (GT PP)
1 Oxford White

That was more S550s in one place on one day that I have seen in all the rest of my life, put together. Pretty fun.

The CO GT PP with the Flowmasters is owned by a good old boy who likes to use it for 90 mph jaunts to Ontario, OR and back. Kind of a fun road, I liked that.

The Kona LE AT belonged to the wife. The husband owns a 14 GT500 (triple black) and it appears they have a 13 Raptor just to keep them from getting bored. She proudly admitted having run the LE at Firebird Raceway, turning a 14.0 at 107. Hmm.

You meet a lot of great people at car shows.

Interesting, no Ruby Red. I finally saw one other one around town for the very first time a week or so ago. I had seen every other color already.

I am surprised you didn't see any Guard. Seems to be quite popular.

No 20" foundry wheels, eh? :D

I can picture you with a clipboard keeping track.
Nah, no clipboard necessary. Each of the cars was memorable and the list came easily enough.

I was just surprised to see so many at an all-makes show. There were barely that many S197s.

Not a one. I am a crappy photographer. Nothing you haven't seen, anyway. Everyone was 100% factory except the two exhaust systems, and there was nothing to hear.
