Default SEMA at LA Convention Center - April 26-27

More Info: http://www.vmhouse.com/ias/index.html

I'm thinking of going both days. I really look forward to actually seeing some parts for our cars. Who's going? Any Z owners organizing a drive there?

Hey ganz, wassup man, I'm heading up Saturday. I'm not driving the Z though because I'll have some friends in tow. But if you still want to caravan up to LA, hit me up.

I'm planning on probably going on Saturday, and then going to the MSA show on Sunday. I wasn't originally gonna show up to the SEMA show, but now that nativ4ply car's gonna be there in full force, as well as having the event sponsored by Nissan, I'm lookin forward to seeing some badass Z's (in addition to the $250,000 Alpine Honda Civic).

We should see if everyone wants to meet up 1st thing in the morning somewhere near the convention center, maybe a breakfast get together or a coffee shop or something, then head to the show as a group. Also, I have 2 $2 off coupons from the latest issue of Super Street, if anyone wants em.

See y'all later!

I would just suggest NOT going to the Pantry on Fig even though it is very close to the Convention Center.

hfm, pasadena Z and I met there before the LA Auto Show - there is a mad line and limited seating, which makes it hard for groups, especially if you don't all show up at once; plus the food is bad greasy, not good greasy.

Other than that I'm down. There's also a Denny's close by. Still not the best food but better seating.

Import, I will probably already be in LA saturday. But thanks for the invite anyway. I don't mind meeting up somewhere at the convention center, though.

I'll probably hit up Mr B and go with him. Mr B, are you reading this????

dczoner - what is MSA?

My hope is that us Z owners could meet up briefly and share some of the cool Z cars/products we come across so that all of us can get a chance to 1) see the product 2) and if it is in development, perhaps show the manufacturer enough interest to speed up production 3) and if already in the market, maybe get in on a good deal (i.e. group buy). Finally it would be great to have fellow Z owners there to represent and hang out.

Hopefully I will catch some of you there. I wait and see how this thread unfolds.

I'll probably hop on the DASH and venture on down to the convention center one of the days. As much as I like driving my Z.. I still try not to drive and park near staples...my Z seems to be a Rhino lapdance coupon magnet.

AudioPat & Jeffa - Lookin forward to seeing you guys out there (audiopat in your case we may be sick of each other by the end of sunday ).

So who's interested in a morning get together before the SEMA show? I will count myself in, and it sounds like Iris (?) is down. Any other takers?

hfm - you got it.

Also, the show starts at 12:00 on Saturday, so I'd say if we met up at like 10:00 am somewhere we should be able to eat and not be in a rush.

Unfortunately, I don't know the possible locations - sounds like Denny's is 1 option. Anyone more familiar with the area? I'd say a good cafe/diner sounds like a plan to me. Time to consult the Must-Eats list!

So far the list includes:
-dczoner
-iris
-ganz
-zxsaint
-mastakillaz
-hfm
