Event Coverage: SEMA Car Crazy Showcase

Outside of the Las Vegas convention center SEMA was held at Meguairs's put on a little something they called the Car Crazy Showcase . It was a collection of mostly muscle, classic, and hot rodded vehicles and was really quite interesting. I spent a lot of time in this area and this batch of coverage contains most of the shots from there. Thinking back I know there are a few I missed so those will show up in the rest of my outdoor coverage.

SEMA Showstopper: Holley’s Shop Truck

The last few SEMA Showstoppers I've posted have been fairly involved, very custom builds that don't really represent what most people do in their own garage, so today I decided to post something a little more reasonable built buy the guys and gals over at Holley Performance. This C-10 is the type of resto-mod you could see someone do to the truck they rode in as a child with their mother or father, and that's probably why I like it so much.

Event Coverage: SEMA Part 5

So I was doing some thinking when working on this post: If each post had a minimum 30 pictures, and this is part 5 then that means that at the end of this post (not including the showstoppers) I will have posted at least 150 pictures from the 2010 SEMA show, damn. I'm not even all that close to being finished, I am however done with the inside of the show after this post (more or less :P)

Theme Tuesdays: Girls With Hot Rides 2

The last girls with Hot Rides Theme Tuesday here was nearly all cars found on various blogs and message boards on the net. This time around in addition to perusing the forums I decided to poll some of my female readers for submissions on facebook and twitter. As it turns out I have quite a few female readers with clean cars ranging from lowered to slammed, and naturally aspirated to boosted.

Win a ride with Crazy Leo

I love when people do things like this: Canadian Rally driver, Crazy Leo , is offering up a chance to win one of two rides at the Rally of The Tall Pines in Bancroft Ontario. The route will be an actual stage of the rally and take about 90 or so seconds, in those 90 seconds you will go through a serious of blind turns and one big jump in a 500hp WRX. Interested?

SEMA Showstopper: Widebody EG

I'll be honest with all of you, when I first saw this car I didn't see a Honda Civic. I saw a set of beautiful (and big) 19x10 and 19x13 HRE wheels sitting beneath something that was yellowish. Once I was able to take my eyes off the wheels I noticed that they were attached to what was perhaps the most modified EG hatch I had ever seen, as Gwen Stefani would say that sh!t was B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

2010 SEMA Wheel Gallery

Most of SEMA coverage part 4 was from the Wheel & Tire hall of the SEMA show. Looking through the photos for that batch I noticed I had amassed a decent amount of wheel shots from the various exhibitors at the show. Instead of working these photos in with a set of normal event coverage I figured these shots would make a great weekend post and so, here is the '2010 SEMA Wheel Gallery'.

WTF Friday: SEMA oddities

With any car show you are bound to come across cars that make you go 'huh?' and SEMA was no exception. Today's WTF Friday includes some of the cars, at SEMA that caused that reaction. I am sure there were more I'm sure but I was too distracted by the awesome to pick up on them.

Event Coverage: SEMA Part 4

Here is another photo overload from SEMA 2010. For those of you who are waiting for photos of the cars that were outside of SEMA rest assured I lots of great coverage from the outside as well that will be making it's way up to the site over the next few days. In the meantime enjoy some more of what was going on inside the halls. After this set I believe I've got one hall left along with some of the adjacent hallways before taking it outside into the Vegas sun.

Event Coverage: Driven 2013

With Driven in the books the 2013 show season is now "officially" underway in Calgary. Eager to get old man winter out the door this years driven took place a little earlier than last year which meant a few people had to scramble to get their cars ready for the show. However 250+ cars ended up making it to the Calgary Oval even with the accelerated timeline and Mike once again did a great job of capturing the show in the artistic way only he can.

Theme Tuesdays: Volvo Bricks

Not too long ago I was challenged to do a Volvo 240 Theme Tuesday by the human car encyclopedia Joe. Initially I thought this would be hard to pull together as after a few weeks I only had a handful of 240s and 244's saved. That was until I decided to go over to TurboBricks.com once I was there the list came together very well and very fast. I always kind of knew older Volvos had a following but I didn't know people were as faithful to these as they are e30s.

Diamond Deuce

I was at the new Performance Improvements Etobicoke location last night conversing with Rob about future issues of their magazine (and my involvement) when Jeff Norwell's Diamond Deuce came up. To be able to transfer an idea to paper, and then reality, with such precision is something I really wish I was capable of.

Theme Tuesdays: 1.8T Motors In Everything

The Volkswagen 1.8t turbo motor is a rare motors swap trifecta. It's readily available, relatively cheap, and plenty durable.
