This time of the year is the busiest for us. We got the IASCA finals, Comdex and now the "Specialty Equipment Market Association" SEMA for short. So it’s off to Vegas again to see the biggest aftermarket car show in the world. This show took place at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The whole building was use to house over 1800 exhibitors and the outside sidewalk was littered with really cool looking cars and trucks. There were also three tents to house the new exhibitors that couldn’t get a spot inside. Being a Car guy at heart I was like a baby in a candy store.

After arriving at Vegas, we drove our rental van and parked at the convention center parking lot. The jack up Chevy, and the slam Ford are samples of trucks that were in the parking lot. I knew I was in for a good show after seeing those things. The folks at Speed Vision were there to broadcast a few live shows from the convention center. The pic on the right is a picture of their ride. I have to say; they know how to travel.  

Before we even got into the convention center we had to walk through a bunch of custom cars and trucks. These machines were on the sidewalk for everyone to see. I didn't get an exact count but I would guess over a hundred cars and trucks total. Some of the rides there were not really my style but I have to admire the work involved in making these machines.
