Cruising what I call the main hall of the SEMA show, it’s fantastic to see the great rides that make SEMA, the parts show, become SEMA the car show. Featuring the best built cars and timeless classics, it’s a mix of some of the best rides in the country. I stayed close to “Hot Rod Alley” to find the...

After three days, SEMA is beginning to take it's toll on the weak and unprepared. At the very least, this show will help people find their personal limits. This guy clearly blew through his threshold at some point and decided to take a snooze in the middle of his exhibit. I had to snap this picture quickly, as one of his co-workers noticed me pointing the camera...

Tuesday began the actual SEMA show. It's nice having Exhibitor badges; we didn't have to wait with the rest of the crowd to get in. Mike Tomac and I walked over to the Offroad and Power Sports section and spent the morning walking through the show. The vehicles in there were simply amazing. You need to take a look at the pics in my Photobucket account; look in the...
