Getting into SEMA..
So SEMA only allows 'automotive industry' people in: The show is not open to the public- you can't buy a ticket
.. I've wanted to get into SEMA for years, and until now, that hasn't been a possibility for this decidedly non automotive-industry high school English teacher..
I've been in touch with Steve (the car's owner) these last many years since he bought it, and so cool is this guy, that he asked Honda for an extra ticket for me to come along as his guest.. Honda said yes, and off to SEMA I went
It's hard to describe SEMA, even with pictures.. with each exhibitor trying to outdo each other for eyeballs and impressions, this is not the place for 'ordinary.' The Bigger, the Baller, the Badder, the Better.. Different and excess rule the SEMA aisles..
There's simply too much to see.. in 3 days we walked quite literally miles and still hadn't seen it all. I was exhausted by the end of the last day, but don't misunderstand- no complaining here
Pictures were difficult to get because of the MASSIVE crowds (last year drew 170,000 I think).. I had a pass that let me into the buildings a few hours before the doors opened, so that allowed for many of the following pics of things I found interesting..
