Title: A few pics from SEMA
Post by: videoholic on November 11, 2002, 11:09:26 AM
I only shot a few pictures because I was doing video all 4 days and got pretty darn tired.

Here are a few of the cars that cought my eye.

I didn\'t get a shot of the new Ferari, nor the Saleen.  For that I should be shot, but here are a couple nice rides.  Had to add the AC Schnitzer M5 in there because it\'s what I want and it\'s bad ass.

Nice cars. I never liked shiny chrome rims (even polished aluminum) unless they were on old school hotrods or muscle cars.

When is your film gonn air?

Dude, these are not ricers.  I didn\'t take any pics of ricers.  These are just bad ass machines.

Hi Rev Tuners has been totally revamped and now is a garage show.  we will also be going out of house for about 30-40 percent of the show as well.  That\'s where these pieces will come into play.  They are being held until february so Ford can push their advertising with us to go along side their motorsports package.

Heh, Green honda with BMW front fenders, Mercedes Tailights, and fully shaved.

I can tell all that from the pic.  Either that or I saw it.

THere were quite a few whacked import cars there, but 90% of it is bad ass rides.

i wont argue that there is some sweet cars in those pics, but honestly, how many times do we have to look at something like this before the subculture is ruined

The answer is really simple is it not? If you don\'t like it, don\'t look at it.

Gay men aren\'t my choice, so you know what I do? I stay away from gay bars and gay porn.

I don\'t think it likes your parenthesis or something.  Although I agree.  I don\'t care for the whole 4 cylinder thing, but to each his own.

I can see Mandalay Bay in the background in one of the pics so I\'m assuming you were in Vegas.

I am teh smart.

Dude, I dont even know what to think about the new Corvete.. I kind of have mixed feelings about it.  I liked the 2002 model.  But that is such a change in body style.  But I have to know.  Whats the HP on that bad boy?

I like technologically advanced 4 cylinders.  The WRC cars are all 4 cylinders, so that\'s proof they can kick ass (as if we needed proof).  I think I\'ll always prefer efficiently produced power to low-tech brute force type power.  It seems like a cheat for the engineers... "we want this car to go even faster, so let\'s just throw some displacement at it."  Too barbaric for me.  :p

That\'s not the new corvette.  It\'s a vette with modified glass and rag top.

That\'s where the German engineers step in and take brute force and technology and come up with Porsche Powah!

WRC cars rule. That\'s why I got a Subaru Impreza. :)

OK, why does that Mustang have a Honda emblem on the rear end. I am becoming frightened.

Btw, nothing beats the sound of a big V8. Granted, some 4 and 6 cyclinders are fast, really fast, but I think they sound like crap.

This may sound crazy but before I die I hope we see electric cars outrunning all these gas guzzlers.  I love cars (even throaty big block V8s) as much as the next guy but wouldn\'t you like to see a whole new technology blow away the internal combustion engine?  Just me going off on a tangent again but cars today are a b*tch to maintain and gas/repairs take too much out of our salaries.

Here are some more pics of SEMA if you\'re interested:  http://www.jchoefer.com/sema/

There were quite a few beautifuly Mercedes.  I never really liked them until I saw some of them there.  

There were some black cars there that were so black it was unbelievable.  They just poilsh the hell out of them.  Look very sweet.  If only black looked that good all the time I\'d get one.  God they are a pain in the ass to keep clean.
