Cars, Security & a Peek into my Life

My Favourite Concept at the NAIAS Show

The Acura NSX

I gasped audibly when I saw it, this is so my style.

I learned afterwards that this is the second version of the NSX Acura has presented, but it was my first time seeing it.

The Movie that Played in my Mind when I Saw It

Somehow, this is ‘This Week’s Car’.

I book the car based around a big Friday, downtown evening event I have to attend. I clear my schedule and spend the days prior up north, practicing and training.  I put together a ridiculous outfit that matches the car (basically how I dress now, but flashy mercenary).

I place my team around the event’s entrance, cameras ready and communications in my ear. Subtly they start to clear the area, then you hear me before you see me (lots of superfluous revving is happening), and I come flying in, drift-to-park, blip the engine, then a team member calmly opens the door and assists me out, everyone melts.

 

 

The Other Side of the Camera at NAIAS

Here’s what’s happening on the other side of the photos you see from the show.

I started standing on chairs.

I quickly learned to arrive early to the press conference, to secure a front-row seat.

I was one of the blonder ones there.

Elbows OUT.

I was warned ahead of time, “Keri, it’s aggressive; as soon as the CEO’s speech is over, everyone rushes the stage”.

And they did.

But I didn’t find it to be that aggressive at all. Actually, everyone was quite polite, and conscious of walking infront of another’s lens.
