Survived a day at SEMA and here’s my impressions.

* Fuck Traffic. Vehicular and Foot.

* Lotsa Chinese vendors. Lot of them with SEMA member placards. Lots Chinese buyers as well.

* Free Stuff - GOOD.

* Tons of old folks. Felt I was about to be run over by the granny scooters in abundance.

* The amount of American stuff is staggering.

* Toyota shoved the old stuff outside, only had the junk new stuff inside. A TRD Avalon? WTF? No TRD Sienna?

* Lexus freebie: Pencil Tire Gauge with your engraved name on it.

* Best Freebie so far: Red Kap shirt with one of several custom designs.

* Got shoved by members of Velocity’s camera teams here and there....

* Shuttles to SEMA need better logistics.

Onto Day Two.....

Nailed it. Pro tip, stay in a hotel that has direct access to the monorail thing. That’s the best way to get there IMO.

The monorail goes past where I’m staying. Plus I noticed the big cracks in the pylons on the shuttle.......

I am jealous. Does it feel like sensory overload?
