Title: Off to SEMA
Post by: videoholic on November 02, 2003, 08:33:55 AM: Don\'t know if I will be able to upload pics while I am out there. I am staying at Ballys and I have no clue if they have ethernet in the rooms yet.

I\'ll try and get pics of some cool shit... I should have some extra tie here and there to look around.

I assume the new 05 mustang will be there. I\'ll get a pic of that if it is there. ANything else, let me know...

There are computers in the press room so I\'ll be able to check in, just can\'t post pics till I get back, unless Ballys steps up to the plate.

Here is what SEMA is for those of you who don\'t know.

Post by: Halberto on November 02, 2003, 07:37:43 PM: Yeah, when I was playing EverQuest someone from my guild lived about an hour away from me. He is in his 20\'s and wanted to go to Six Flags with my friends and girl friends... and the scary part was he was serious.

I think you guys should meet up, it would be ****ing hilarious.

Post by: SwifDi on November 02, 2003, 09:56:24 PM: Yeah... then post pics here... that would be entertaining.
Title: Off to SEMA 56Kers, bite me....!!!!!
Post by: THX on November 02, 2003, 11:08:09 PM: you guys are young, I met countless people through the internet. Mostly through videogame tournaments/gatherings (tekken), fellow car junkies, and Conan O\'Brien fans. But then again, I\'m a college student that meets hundreds of new people every year, then forget all their names.

Only fear now is that they are cool on the net but annoying in real life, liek they won\'t shut the $&% up! But yea meeting someone from this forum would be weird because there\'s no common bond between most of us, other than ps2 and a perverse sense of humor.

Post by: MPTheory on November 03, 2003, 10:27:42 PM: Do you really think it would be that weird to meet someone from the forums? What if you have already met someone from the forums and never even knew it? (It could happen) ;) I mean, you could even live in the same house as another member of the forums and never even know it... Now that would be weird....... Wouldn\'t it?

Haven\'t seen any video game presence. Wasn\'t any last year either other than an S2000 that was modeled for the game.

Was up 250, but lost 200 of it. Still up 50 bucks with a nice free buzz to boot....

Post by: videoholic on November 04, 2003, 06:53:09 AM: 24813, check..

Starts today..

RIght when you walk in the door, blammo, sweet ass Lambo..

I saw a hummer yesterday I\'ll get a pic of. It has at least 24" spinners on it and no lie, the roof level is under my chin... Obviously that\'s not the ride height, bam damn they got it to sit low..

There are again just like last year, a billion H2s...

Post by: videoholic on November 08, 2003, 07:02:41 PM: Well I am home now. We got pics of your booth for you. I didn\'t take them though. Not sure if he got a booth pic or a chick pic. We\'ll see.

THat H2 was pretty damn low. IT came to my chin, BUT, there was one that was actually lower. All the way down to the frame. It was insane. I have a pic of it as well.

Gambling wise I was up a couple hundred, but then lost it all. Every time I doubled my 50 dollar bets I either lost or tied. It was so annoying.

Post by: videoholic on November 10, 2003, 08:53:18 AM: I\'m trying to get them now. THe person who has them is in a meeting. Trying to get them put on a server so I can get them from him.

SHe was rather a cute gal though. Her name was Ann or Amy or something. She gave me a CD with a heart and an A on it. She then began to spank my monkey.

Post by: videoholic on November 10, 2003, 05:16:48 PM: My buddy dicked me. He didn\'t take a pic of the booth. We walked all the way over there and he didn\'t take a pic. And believe me when I say it was a long freaking way. He thought I just wanted to talk to the guys. No clue how that happened since I told him for 3 days we needed to get the booth babe.

I have video of her though.

Post by: videoholic on November 11, 2003, 07:07:22 AM: I shot video of the booth. I am doing a couple pieces on SEMA in my show and I got video of a bunch of booths...

If I were home I could grab you a still. I am on this POS mac though and I can\'t figure out how to grab a JPG from video.

Post by: videoholic on November 11, 2003, 08:48:33 AM: I have 7 tapes to prove it.

I\'m really bummed out regarding the stills. I really wish I would have taken some. I had nice shots last year, but every one of them this year sucks... Very bummed.

BTW, they had a pretty sweet Cobra replicar.

Post by: videoholic on November 11, 2003, 09:02:40 AM: This one was about 3 inches lower than the black one earlier.

The frame is actually resting on the ground.

In the other one, the side skirt is hitting, but not the frame.
Title: Off to SEMA 56Kers, bite me....!!!!!
Post by: videoholic on November 11, 2003, 09:06:39 AM: Now that I look at it, I don\'t really know how the orange one is lower.

I just know the black one was at the bottom of my chin and the orange one was at the bottom of my neck.

Very freaking low.

They couldn\'t get the orange one off of the truck. They had to use boards to jack up the front end as they gently lowerd it off the truck.

Whatever. I guess some chicks dig this shit.

Post by: Coredweller on November 11, 2003, 09:29:16 AM: You know what? Almost any vehicle that is lowered that much = ghey.

But especially so when you do it to a Hummer.

They could have at least channeled the body so the windows were 6" slits. That would have looked a little better. :(

well generally cars that are lowered that much are sitting on bags or have a hydraulic system on them.
Title: Off to SEMA 56Kers, bite me....!!!!!
Post by: videoholic on November 12, 2003, 12:17:45 PM: Yeah, obviously the car is on air bags. But apparently it\'s ridiculously low even when it\'s put up at drive height.. Freaking tards... I can\'t remember what company that was. The black one was XXX who makes spinner wheels.
