Friday, 10AM, one more day....

 

The only thing at all special about this 350Z is that it had 275/19s in front and 295/19s out back, they were pushed all the way out to the edge of the fender flares and it really made the car look alot more serious

 

by the third day of the SEMA show your minds so warped you dont understand why all the girls outside the show are wearing so much clothes and dont come wrap their arm around you with a smile when ask them for a picture. And why arent all these cars on 24" chrome rims and painted Cal Trans safety orange??

 

Totally forgoten to us was the fact that we came here with the intention to help 3M with their paint protection film booth. In spite of our condition we put on a pretty decent display

 

Hey look! I went over to the Bilstein booth and they were giving away shocks! Oh, I mean mints, yeah. MMmm, thats Bilstein fresh breath!

 

No, this isnt Photoshop, Marcos actually shrunk down to 2 feet tall. look at him pose next to this 15" rims...

 

Cindy here explains to us how she plans to get a ride home now that National Airlines left her stranded in Vegas

 

When high technology just isnt enough...

 

hey Pat! Heres a harley for ya!

 

Walkingthe SEMA show for 8 hours a day after partying the whole night can be agonizing, thats why a few of the bigger booths offered flavored oxygen stations to help you get the feeling back to your extremities, if that doesnt help they mix in a bit of nitrous.

 

This is the Z with the HKS intercooler we've all seen. I tried to reach my hand back there to see if the intercooler was a dummy but couldnt get back far enough to tell. The fools had left the it unlocked so I opened the door and reached for the hood release when this Nissan guy came charging in my direction. He was polite but firm, I mean its not like there was a velvet rope around it for gods sake! When I came back later the door was locked

 

Greddy on the other hand was a REAL twin turbo, and better yet, they had a REAL dual exhaust on it from the cat back! they said it was just a prototype but it looked ready for market for to me.

 

Top fast & furious honors went to this yahoo, just look at this thing. the sticker on his window though only says "furious" though, what does that tell ya.

 

I only have one thing to say about this..

 

 

Ooh! I want your autographed poster! My names Steve Barrister.....

 

hey Steve! I got something for ya!

 

Well, after 3 long days of hiking and partying, we stagger our half dead bodies down to the airport only to find that the airline that took us out to Las Vegas NO LONGER EXSISTS! In place of its check in counter, National quickly erected a half-assed cookie and Coffee table in a feeble atempt to placate the inevitable riot that would ensue as soon as thousands of unknowing SEMA atendees stormed the airport like Omaha Beach.

 

Thank God we were dead tired and decided to forego any SEMA after parties and got to the airport early, we were able to get on a standby flight that left with only a couple hours wait. But still, what a punch in the nuts...

 

C-ya next year SEMA!!!
