WTF could have been the theme after I wandered around checking out all of the cool, new, high tech “state of the art” demos featuring lighting, sound, and visual special effects.  Call me old fashioned (I’m almost 60 yikes) but I can’t get used to the “F” word being thrown about by the younger generation in every other word and now it seems that even companies are using it in their shows!  However, I have to admit that GLP, German Light Products, cracked me up with their presentation of “We give a F*CK” slogan not to mention the free German Beer served on a light up coaster!

 

 

Even if you own several vintage, classic, or race cars you will want a new car after attending this year’s SEMA (automotive aftermarket) trade show.  I have to say it was WAY BEYOND the CES type trade show at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Imagine massive huge warehouses and the outdoor parking lots FULL OF CARS, TRUCKS AND ACCESSORIES!  Several folks mentioned that it was bigger, better, and more organized than other local trade shows they had attended.  I met lots of car fans as we bonded in the long lines for freebies. In typical trade show fashion – if there is a LINE at a booth- just buck up and wait or you will have FOMO (fear of missing out.). I actually got some really cool stuff – two silk screened t-shirts and a hat.  I could have had some free motor oil but did not want to carry it home along with my TONS OF FREE BAGS that I use for hauling groceries.  By the way, if you are looking for hunky, tall, muscular guys with tattoos, you have come to right place.  Or perhaps you are looking for a gorgeous gal dolled up in racing spanks (how do they spray those things on?) who is really a paid model.  

I need to spend another three days looking at the incredible line up of cars, meeting celebrity race car drivers and fix-it specialists, but I can’t.  My feet hurt after logging over 15,000 steps!  On another note – can I paint my new car that SAHARA color for 2019 that Axalta unveiled?  Check out a few photos from Kakofanny and the BEAUTIFUL paint jobs on BEAUTIFUL cars and trucks.  For details and photos from the show check out the SEMA website sema.org
