Toys
The holiday season is upon us. Shopping, festivities and joy fill the air. What would the world be like if we carried these feelings throughout the year? Well let us enjoy what we do have.

“This is my wish for you: peace of mind, prosperity through the year, happiness that multiplies, health for you and yours, fun around every corner, energy to chase your dreams, joy to fill your holidays!”
D.M. Dellinger.
With the holidays in mind we take a look at toys. Not your ordinary toys.
We hop in my antique Corvette, light the tires and motor over to Sarasota’s S/S Motorsports. There we explore a custom built 1969 Camaro. Assembled as an “Extreme” version the Camaro boasts 540 cubic inches pumping out 705 horsepower. Add in a host of other custom treatments and this certainly is a one of a kind Camaro. S/S Motorsports’ vehicles are full rotisserie restorations based on original bodies built in the year it was titled. There’s still time to put the Camaro under the tree (even as a gift to yourself!).
Next, courtesy of Lucy Nicandri Super Boat Grand Prix Festival Director, we take to the water and visit with Super Boat International Race Teams. Super Boat International is the only official national and international sanctioning body for offshore powerboat racing in the world. Their boats are extremely fast, expensive and dangerous. Of significance, the three team members we visited with are based in Sarasota and boast unique credentials for their specific racing class. Tilted Kilt is the 2012 World Champion, while Twisted Offshore and Phantom 9 are 2012 National Champions. Congratulations to all!
Happy Holidays!
