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.

While walking through the 'Dub Show Tour Live' at SEMA two cars caught my eye amongst the sky jacked 4x4's and boxes on 24" wheels. Even an s-chassis noob like myself could tell that the two cars Mastermind brought to the show were something special. Never before had I seen two cars that compliment each other so well,while at the same time represent the very different tuning styles of the United States and Japan.

I've got another round of coverage from the central hall of SEMA today. Today's post is very picture heavy (50+) so those of you on smart phones consider this your warning. Lot's of variety in today's post so there should be something for everyone, there is also even a little something for Transformers fans...

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.

I love doing these 'Pictures with attitude' aka rad picture Theme Tuesdays because it gives me a chance to let my automotive A.D.D. run wild. The car hobby is a big one and there is no fun in only enjoying select parts of it all the time.

The lowrider style Auburn Speedster I posted last Friday got me thinking that people will lower basically anything and everything and I should do a Theme Tuesday dedicated to those who like to think outside of the box. I had a few of these vehicles saved already but after doing a lot more web mining I came up with a pretty interesting collection of photos. Enjoy.

Before I get into posting this weeks WTF Friday content as promised I have the results of the first ever Stance Is Everything reader appreciation sticker give away. First and foremost a big thanks to everyone who took the time to comment/enter the contest. I was blown away by the amount of people who commented, and the great things you guys and girls said about the blog even though a simple "do want" would have worked to enter.

As the 2010 GTA event season comes to a close you are going to start seeing a lot of cars that have been on my hard drive for the past few months, today I've got a super clean Nissan 180sx. It's pretty rare to see one this clean since a great number of them end up in the hands of drifters, and while it's never bad to see a car used and abused on the track, it's also nice to see one that the owner has kept spit shined.

On Sunday October 3rd in odd, but appropriate, weather the GTA car community said Sayonara to Summer with an event put on by the good people at Stretch and Poke. When I showed up (late) some of cars had come and gone but from the coverage I have seen on the Scraped Crusaders and courtesy of Gawa on JDMR the event was a great success.

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.

As I've mentioned the 2010 CSCS Finale was the first time I had been to Cayuga and the weather had fully cooperated which meant that the track saw a lot of fast action all day. Personally the track action is the main reason I make the drive out to CSCS as it's an added bonus on top of the show and shine that I can't take in at your average show.
