AutoFest was an incredible event this year held on the fairways of Red Rock Golf Course. What a selection of unique autos to gaze upon. Eye Candy! Although the car show is open to all marques, 86 Porsches were on display. Our Porsche corral drew hundreds of car enthusiasts and spectators.

In the July 1995 issue of Sandscript there was a telling article about the President’s new Dodge van. Carl bought it in his first-ever shopping trip for a NEW car. He said new car shopping was eye-opening, in that he had a lot of questions, but the dealer salesman had only answers to questions he didn’t really ask. Such as, since he intended to use the van to tow his race car, he asked: “Does it have a towing option?” And the salesman replied: “It comes in eight beautiful standard colors and three more at extra cost.” Oh….. to go back to the 20th century car shopping adventures.
