CAR SPOTLIGHT>> SEMA 2009: A CADDY ON THE GROUND

Filed under: air ride, Cadillac, Caddy, SEMA 2009, slammed month, SEMA Show

What's the difference between a low-rider and a custom? Can any of you answer this question? Is it the choice of wheels? Or air ride used instead of hydraulics? Or it is the type of scene that the car fits into that determines what you call it? Without talking to the owner of this car, I'd say this flat black low riding Caddy is styled to more fit into the custom car world. The flat black theme and the white walls more fit into this scene than anything else. Agree? It's one of my favs...

Man I'm tired... I just feel asleep while sitting here working on these photographs. It appears I'm still recovering from a wild week in Las Vegas last week. Oh well... best to crack on and get this story written up before I fall asleep again! It was a pleasant surprise to see Pagani brought over one of the Zonda R chassis from Italy. This was probably one of the most striking cars at SEMA and was the centerpiece of the Pirelli booth. The Zonda was set up right beside the Falken booth where...

EVENT>> SEMA 09: OUTSIDE THE SHOW

Filed under: Rod Chong, Las Vegas, sema, SEMA 2009, SEMA Show

Last year at SEMA , I spent a lot of time walking the floor, processing photos and preparing stories for Speedhunters.com. However this year, we had Mike Garrett taking care of these duties, so I was free to focus on securing some exciting new Speedhunters business partnerships and collaborations for 2010. My partner in crime, Rachel Kelly and I were so busy doing back to back meetings, that I didn't get to shoot the whole show. Oh well... I still have some Speedhunters reports coming out this...

EVENT>>SEMA '09 CONTINUED

Filed under: Event, Mike Garrett, Las Vegas, sema, Motor Show, SEMA 2009, SEMA Show

Okay, let's continue right on with more coverage from the 2009 SEMA Show. I'll start with this 1984 CRX Mugen Prototype that Honda brought out. A 1980's Honda might not be the first thing you associate with the SEMA Show, but who doesn't like vintage Japanese tuner cars? It was cool to see Honda pulling old cars out of it's collection for the SEMA display....

EVENT>>SEMA 2009: DAY THREE

Filed under: Event, Mike Garrett, Las Vegas, Motor Show, SEMA 2009, SEMA Show

I'm back home in Los Angeles now, still feeling the pain from three days of traversing the Las Vegas Convention Center, and glad to be done with the crowds and madness of Vegas. Now that I'm settled in at home, it's time to dig in for some more coverage from the show. One trend that's seemed to stand the test of time is pro-touring muscle cars. Even though you can buy brand new retro muscle cars from these days, I guess you can't beat the real thing. The 'Cuda above was one of my favorites. Under the gleaming bodywork is a twin turbo Viper V10....

EVENT>>SEMA 2009: DAY TWO

Filed under: Event, Mike Garrett, Las Vegas, Motor Show, SEMA 2009, SEMA Show

Alright let's jump right into some photographs and impressions from my second day of walking the halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center at the 2009 SEMA Show. Up above is something that should excite the traditional "JDM Tuning" fans, a super clean R34 Skyline GT-R found in the Rotora Brakes booth....

EVENT>>SEMA 2009: DAY ONE

Filed under: Event, Mike Garrett, Las Vegas, Motor Show, SEMA 2009, SEMA Show

Ah yes, the chaos of SEMA. After a an early flight from LAX I rushed to the Las Vegas Convention Center this morning for the first day of the 2009 SEMA Show. Although my legs are already numb from walking so much, I've only been able to get through a small portion of SEMA's exhibit halls. Here are some highlights and observations from what I've managed to take in so far -...
