Tony D Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 My little calling to the carpet last month shot any fantasy of a late visit to Southwest USA moot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texis30O Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Sorry to hear that. It would have been good to catch up with you longer than the time it takes to load parts in the famous "Ford Parts Hauler" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattster03 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I'll be there... this will be my 3rd time at sema. I have put myself on the "every other year" schedue: 2010, 2012 and now 2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatwad Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Me!!! I go every year because I live in Vegas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) I had to put bearings and an axle saver in after this second trip! But even with $2200 in axle work and brakes all around, it's STILL cost me less than 60% of low blue book and less than two RENTALS would have cost for the same two trips! LOL Maybe we should have a 2014 Tokyo Auto Salon HybridZ International Meeting... Edited August 21, 2014 by Tony D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texis30O Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 As long as we plan for an event with enough time I can clear some days in the schedule. The wife might have to come in tow but at least I can be there.....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeeZ Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) Sean, Jeremy is going. You have credentials? John Edited August 22, 2014 by GeeZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattster03 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 It's really, super super easy to get into SEMA... "credentials" are a joke. If you know anyone, and I mean anyone with a car related business (even like a lube shop) just have them apply with you as the Janitor or something and you're in. Or go the media route and say you're taking pictures for hybridZ. I think I was even a "fluffer" for some shop one year. It's not nearly as exclusive as they want you to think...

Tony D Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 You gotta watch out using "fluffer" as there was a time there were TWO shows in town that same week... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texis30O Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 Tony D, and that time was not long ago...... John, I have been signed up. I have been given access during the week, as I would rather go then than deal with the crowds of open public. This is all still up in the air as I will just be getting back from Cabo 2 weeks prior to this...... The wife not working is the big factor. Work has to produce a few things before I can commit. Are you wanting to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3VO 3VOM Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I've been to SEMA the past 2 years. Not planning to this year as my annual trip out west is to JCCS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) JCCS 10! That was my last 5 days in the USA until political correctness and corporate spinelessness resulted in my recall to PA for four of my remaining five days remaining in the US of A in 2014. Sound bitter? Yeap...you damn right! Edited August 25, 2014 by Tony D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
