Makes

I can't believe I have only done one e30 Theme Tuesday prior to this. As a former owner and current member of a number of BMW/E30 forums this is down right shameful. Not to mention that the the e30 is such a classic and versatile chassis, they look great dumped and kitted on low offset wheels, but also respond great to functional modifications when let loose on the track.

This car is easily one of my favorite EG's in the area. I followed the initial build closely on jdmrides.ca (actually the main reason I joined the site) and have continued to watch the car evolve from daily driver/track car to track car/daily driver as the years have gone by. Over the winter Spenser plans to do even more function oriented work to the car so that next year it's even more of a contender out on the Shannonville Track.

Almost any car that I choose to post after an intense two weeks of SEMA coverage is bound to look pretty tame so instead of putting someone's ride directly up against all those high dollar, very sick, builds I figured I might as well put mine up first. These pics were taken by my girlfriend about two weeks ago, the night before I converted my ride to winter mode, and now looking back at them I have realized just how long of a winter it is going to be 🙁

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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....

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.

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.
