This month's Scuderia SouthWest Motorsports gathering had a German car theme, and boy were they out in force. Porsches, Mercedes, Audis, and BMWs covered the theme row as well as the rest of the parking lot, showing the best Germany had to offer, ranging from modern day exotics to priceless classics.

The ASU FSAE team also brought our Formula car out to display. This is the first show SDM17 has been to, and it certainly won't be the last. Since we're an American university, we parked in the American car rows, and we even got a spot next to Bondurant, one of our sponsors who let us use their autocross track for testing. It was a pretty good day; we drew quite a few crowds and talked with a lot of people. We even recruited some new members to the team that day; it's no surprise a lot of ASU students come to these shows.

Of course, my GT-R friends came out to the show and got their usual spots, which are coveted because they're one of the few spots in the area with shade. There was also a strong JDM showing as well, although on the other side of the parking lot. It was cool meeting some people in person finally after following them on Facebook and Instagram, as well as meeting with the usual Cars and Coffee peeps.

And of course, there were exotics. Scottsdale McLaren brought out quite a few cars, and some privately owned McLarens came and joined them to form quite the row. There were also some surprises as well, including the 50th Anniversary Aventador and a Liberty Walk Huracan.

Despite the heat, it was a good show. A lot of cars and people came out, and it's only going to get larger from here as vacationers come back to the Valley and the temperatures cool down.
