SEMA 2015 – Early Week Recap

Every time I come here I ask myself if there’s any way this place can get any more crowded, or spread out more than it already is.  And every year the answer is: yup.  It sure can.  Now remember, this is my feet talking here and not me.  I love this event and all of the absolute ridiculousness that comes with it.  Insane cars, spokes-models, endless sales pitches, after-parties – and the list goes on.  But my feet…my feet pretty much think this place is the work of the devil.  Late in the day, even this early in the week, I can hear the faint cry of two blistered peds and ten crying toes screaming obscenities at the dirty sinners who mistakenly thought this kind of event is a good idea.

But it is a good idea.  A giant cross section of everything in the automotive aftermarket comes together for a week to celebrate their achievements, release new products, make new connections and most importantly, renew connections with friends you may not get to see as often as you like.  That’s a pretty cool scene.  Over the next several days, I hope we can show you a few of the cool things that caught our eye, and a few friends that we were lucky enough to reconnect with.

Here are a few of my favorite things from day one at SEMA, 2015.
