At this point we are all done the shooting at SEMA and now all I have to do is sort through the 100's of photos to give you guys the best of what I've got. In addition to standard Event Coverage, like today's, from SEMA (which now has it's own category) I have a few special types of posts in mind for some of the more in depth coverage I've got.

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.

Yesterday was a long day, we woke up at about 5am Toronto time to hop on a plane to Denver, stop over for about an hour and then go to Vegas. I can't really remember what time we touched down Nevada time but I do recall being tired and hungry. While we could have just rushed and went to SEMA in our current state, this is also our first time in Vegas so we decided to do some Vegas sight seeing first when we were tired so we could go to SEMA fresh today.

I've noticed quite a bit of user uploads to the Facebook fan page lately, in addition to new users in general, so I felt that a new readers rides post was in order. I always love seeing what you guys are up to as it gives me an idea of what kind of things I should post more and less of as well as gives me ideas for my own car.

Even though this show was just last weekend with the way the weather has changed (and the amount of time it's taken me to post all of the parts) it seems like so long ago. Most of the cars in today's coverage are probably stored away by now or will soon be in winter mode so here is a look at one of the last show and shines of the season.

I decided to take a quick break from the CSCS coverage for a moment and live vicariously through Tucson AZ native Will (@solefoodOG), who you might remember as the owner a very low bug from the friendly rivalry post in 2009. Will recently picked up a bagged Ranger and took it and his camera to the 2010 West Cost Nationals, and being the nice guy that he is sent me the link to his flickr so I could run some of his photos.

Being a member of s10forum I am not really sure how I missed this build where an s10 owner put an rb20det in an s10 but I did. I had no idea this even happened until I saw a video clip on my friend Jesse's new blog Dorimoto and my interest was peaked.

Last week was fairly Import heavy and most of this week will be drift heavy so to show a little love to those who read the blog and are a fan of classic cars I swung by the Applewood Plaza cruise in last week and took some photos. The turnout was not the largest that I've seen but it sure wasn't the smallest either, and I got to chat with Rod, the owner of the Turbonique Rocket Kart, some more about just how crazy the whole Jet powered vehicle thing was.

Ever wonder what would happen if someone went to your local automotive parts store (Canadian Tire, Autozone, Pepboys etc), picked up the accessory catalog, and proceeded to order, then install 90% of the products listed regardless of whether or not the properly fit their vehicle? Well even if the above scenario has never crossed your mind this s10 is an accurate representation of what happens. This trucks got a lot going on and unfortunately none of it good.

Sunday August 22nd 2010 was a busy day for the GTA automotive community. Three events took place simultaneously (Vagkraft, Meeting of The Mazdas, and CSCS:Xtreme Tuner Challenege) and depending on your location you were anywhere from damp to soaked as the weather didn't want any of these things to happen. Thankfully in Cayuga at CSCS the weather actually wasn't too bad for most of the day, a little damp at times but for the most part dry and great for photos.

I've had some issues before with scheduled posts and since the week before and after my move might be kind of hectic I thought I should probably get the bugs worked out before hand. If all goes to plan this edition of Random Dopeness should go up as I am at the Next Mod 1 year anniversary meet. *crosses fingers* Well it didn't go to plan and this is one week late, better late than never!

One of my favorite parts of the original Transformers series was when Jazz, or Optimus, would assemble a group of Autobots to go on a mission, more specifically when Optimus would yell 'Roll out!' before they would drive off into the sunset ready to whoop up some Decipticons. What does this have to do with today's Theme Tuesday? Nothing really I just felt like sharing, enjoy this second edition of rolling shots for this Tuesday.
