Event Coverage: SEMA Part 1

Nov 4, 2010

The first day at SEMA was intense, the show basically blew me away in every regard. It’s larger than I could have imagined. If you think you have anyway of getting out to one of these do what you can to make it happen, it’s a car enthusiasts paradise.

Each hall is massive and the parking lot out front of the show is the size of a large car show never mind the multiple halls that actually make up the event.

Today’s coverage is a small lot that was behind the Center Hall that was all Source Media Interlink feature cars.

Is it wrong that I wanted to drive this?

Nice coverage Dave! Just a correction, the white Lancer you posted is a Ralliart, not Evo X.

  K, it looks like they might be but I don’t have anything written down to confirm it. Any readers know for sure?

that 55 chevy prerunner is DOPE.

I’ve seen it out personally at Oceano Dunes(Pismo) and have had first hand looks on the truck…there was not a penny skipped on that truck..one of the cleanest examples of a old-school prerunner with modern modifications.
