Event Coverage: SEMA Part 8

Well, I've finally reached what is going to be the end of the 2010 SEMA coverage. Hopefully you guys have enjoyed all of the coverage as much as I have enjoyed posting it. I hope after seeing these photos you are now devising a way to get to next years show as I think it's something every enthusiast should try and get out to. As much I have tried to share here it's really, really, hard to explain what it's like until you've been, I've never been so exhausted from taking in so much automotive eye candy.

SEMA Showstopper: Gold Mines

The last two cars I will be posting as Showstoppers from the 2010 SEMA show are cars that I had to revisit a number of times in order to get clear photos due to the fact that each had sizable crowds gawking virtually any time I passed by. Both of these cars lie somewhere between show and street-able in the sense that the owners probably drive both of them quite a bit but wouldn't dare risk daily driving as getting into a fender bender with one of these would be a travesty.

Event Coverage: SEMA Part 7

This is going to be the second last set of coverage and it's pretty substantial, 50 plus photos from the outside of the show so if you are on a phone or a stressed connection give it some time. Imagine the net worth of all the cars on the convention center grounds during the week? That's a lot of money.

Theme Tuesdays: Dat Ass

I swear I did a Theme Tuesday like this before but it turns out I only posted a small collection of car derrieres. It's kind of funny that not even two years in I am already losing track of what I've posted, anyway my poor memory aside today's Theme is the ass end of cars. I tried my best to get only direct back shots but I made a few exceptions in cases I deemed appropriate, hopefully you do as well.

Event Coverage: SEMA Part 6

It's time to get to the outside of SEMA, finally! While the entire SEMA show was impressive I would have to say the outside had the most modified cars per square foot. However it was also hot, very hot compared to Ontario and walking around with a laptop in my bag wasn't helping so I did it in stages between the halls. Here's part 1 from the outside.

SEMA Showstopper: The Syborg

I'm an early gen S-10(/Blazer/Jimmy/Sonoma) fan, and have been for as long as I can remember, even before I knew that they came in potent Sy/Ty versions. I'm actually still convinced Sy/Ty's are two of the best production trucks ever made. One big problem with my love for these trucks is that few survive our winters. I can think of a handful of clean s10s/blazers in the area and one Typhoon, and that's one of the reasons why seeing this once Sonoma GT at SEMA was such a treat.

WTF Friday: What were you thinking

I've got a few cars today that make no sense but first this news: Some knuckle headed thieves stole the 35 Ford Custom known as "Ruby Deluxe". It was stolen in it's trailer along with the truck towing it from a residence in Burbank. More information about this mind boggling theft cam be found on the H.A.MB. If you have any info email [email protected]. Now to the rest of this Fridays wtf....

SEMA Showstopper: Slammed Box

Today's showstopper is recently appeared on Slammed Society, and one of Lyndsey's favorites from SEMA. Sitting practically in a corner away from a lot of the hustle & bustle this Scion Xb might have been easy to miss if it wasn't for the super white, almost glowing, paint and the very wide 17×10.5 and 17x 11.5 BBS RS wheels with teal centers.

A walk around the Giovanna Booth

Alright, bare with me guys and girls, I know a lot of these cars don't really have the best stance and are just expensive cars with stock suspension and fancy wheels, however I felt if I didn't share this booth with you I would be skipping out an interesting part of the SEMA experience. And since I am doing my best to share as much of SEMA with you as I can I present the Giovanna Wheels 2010 SEMA booth.

Winter Wednesdays: Proof

A couple weeks ago a picture of Alex's Lexus SC at Blue Mountain made it's way to the fan page and two things about said picture were quickly disputed. One, that his car is Lexus SC (and not a Toyota Soarer) and two the fact that he does indeed daily drive it like it as it appeared in the photo. I'm not even sure why the first item is up for dispute, Alex owns the car so if he says it is a Lexus SC400 then it is a Lexus SC400, and for proof of the other disputed item he sent in some more photos.

VAGKraft 2009 Coverage Part 1

Volkswagen owners are pretty much the originators of the slam, stretch, and poke so when I heard that Vagkraft was happening 10 minutes away from my house I had to attend. The weather once again co-operated and the turn out was great. Part one includes: mk1s, mk2s, mk3s Corrados, Sciroccos, Beatles and non vws.

What is Fonnixx?

Years ago I came across a Lexus LS in my dads neighborhood that made had me questioning how someone could drive so low. Ever since that day I took the route too my dads house that passed by where I originally saw the car. VIP-esque cars were and are still pretty rare around here so I had made sure to get as many viewings as possible. I saw the car go through 2 sets of wheels then I never saw it again...
