One of the best “shows” of the year opens today. Of course I’m talking about the Silicon Valley International Auto Show. Or it might be easier to just say cool cars in San Jose. The event takes place at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center and runs from today to Sunday, 10am to 10pm (except Sunday when the show closes at 7pm).

I’m especially excited to check out the history of the Ferrari exhibit which will showcase exotics from the 1970s to today.

Shucks. One thing absent this year: the James Bond Lotus Esprit from the Spy Who Loved Me. I will miss that plastic prop.
