This was the scene last year on the same day….

For most, the end of October is spent wondering what Halloween party they’re going to and what costume to wear, but for those in the automotive industry it’s a time where you spend every last day getting ready for SEMA. Right now, shops (at least the good ones) are packed with work,  people are ansty and this is truly a time where friends and industry colleagues either pull through in a major way – or drop the ball miserably. I know of a few cars going in today for full color changes, others patiently waiting to finish off major engine work and let’s not mention the cars with problems – like missing parts and those waiting under the grace of UPS for packages to come. LOL.

Last year at the Ford Booth.

But we do it consistently every year and the only thing that changes are the vehicular platforms. The hustle never stops, the players stay pretty much the same and we do it because it’s in our blood. For the past few weeks I’ve been checking on some of the beasts that we have headed out to SEMA and with so many cars at that particular show it’s easy to get lost but I’ll tell you this much. The cars that we have reppin out there are the shit. These just ain’t no pretty bitches…….they’re bad bitches inside and out. See you all next week.
