My SEMA experience

[ChargerChick]

First off I want to say a great big THANK YOU to LXForums and Chrysler for giving me this opportunity to tweet and blog for them. I had so much fun doing this!

I don't even know where to begin. It was sensory overload.

I started the first day in the South Bldg where it featured wheels and tires. Wheels of all sizes and colors, tires some bigger than I was. The best part of this bldg was the Mopar section where they showed off both new and old. Got to see the Mopar 11 and the cute little Fiat 500. Met Sam Hubinette and Jeg Coughlin. Was there to hear the big announcement that Jeg would be driving for Mopar. Saw Fatchance 2.0 and was just blown away and how beautiful it was and all the detail that went into it. Even got to pose in front of my favorite car in the whole show... a '71 Plum Crazy Challenger with a free Mopar beer! Hahaha!



I didn't realize there was another floor and 2 more buildings to hit, so we really had to step it up and move along. The second floor featured trucks and Jeeps and all the accessories for them. By the end of day one, my feet were screaming at me! Met up with a bunch of fellow LX'ers at the Hard Rock and called it a night.

Day 2 we had to make it through 2 buildings so we had to move at a faster pace than the previous day. The highlight of this day was seeing the Mini with a HEMI! Now that I have a Mini also, I now know what my next mod is going to be. (I wish!)





And I know it's not a Mopar, but the display for the Camaro was really cool. Made to look like it was coming right off a Hot Wheels track.



The last building featured mostly accessories for the cars like LED's, cleaning products, stereo systems. Heck...everything and anything you could possibly want for your ride. There was one company that had reclining seats in the back of a van with a projector screen on the headliner. Another had sunglasses that could go from light to dark immediately. It really is a good thing they weren't selling the products because I would have maxxed out the credit card!

The third day was cut short because we had to go back home but not before going back to photograph all the cool rides outside the buildings. Got to see SRTJohn's gorgeous ride...the green touches were just amazing.



Unfortunately we had to go but I had such a great time and I know now to plan to stay there for more than just 2 days. I strongly recommend that if you have the chance to make it to next year's SEMA.... DO IT!

Here are the links to the pictures I took.

I know what you mean Chris. This was my first time at SEMA and was blown away by the amount of things to see and do. Just when you think you are finished, there is another building of stuff or a section outside that you missed!!




Some of your pictures are RED X's so I am postng them below.

Good showing this year compared to the last 2 yrs. Like always SEMA is the candy store of automotive everything and everybody. My highlight was getting a quick hot lap in the Corvette ZR1...as a passenger! I was diggin the flat matte color finishes this year.
