Man, I wish it was that easy! Would have saved me a lot of work.

SEMA 2008 end of day update 11-5-08

A little late on this one, it was a loooong night.

Yesterday was pretty good, the show was a bit busier.

Nitrous Express has...(did you see this one coming?)...energy drinks. Chris and I tried some...not bad...has some body to it. The stuff should be available sometime early next year. I guess this is different than anything else, but they also had energy chews, like starburst. They stuff seemed to work, but I ate too many and got a bit loopy. Or...loopier than usual. Yu are only supposed to eat 4 or less in 24 hours. I am sure they will come out with all the details soon.

Otherwise, we ran into more people, hung out with the Streetfire guys, spent more times taking pics at the GM display and had a very cool meeting with Nitto tire about what is next for them.

Heading back to the show today, we'll see what else we can find that is cool.

So far what we are getting out of this is what we all thought...tons of companies out there are chomping at the bit to get a Camaro to make parts. Next year is gong to be awesome.

Tonight is the night everyone from the board meets up at Dick's Last resort in the Excalibur. I might need to buy some Excedrin in advance.

Now it was actually Prodigy's owner's son's car, but it still could have been any customer's car as long as the work was exemplary.

thats what i thought. i thought it had to be a car from vendors at the show. i guess if you had slp or someone like lingenfelter build your car and they decided to make it the sema show car i could understand that. one of my buddies moved out to vegas and works for sin city customs doing some design work, and they built a few cars for sema last year. im not sure if they have any there this year though.
