    SEMA 2023 w/Integrity Auto Repair



    Time is an illusion, so let’s not dwell on the fact that it took me over 2 months to get these photos edited and this article written up. All jokes aside, this is the largest gallery I’ve ever put on the site and once I removed any duplicates, or shots that I didn’t feel really needed to be in there – this was everything that was left. There is just SO much going on at SEMA – it’s really hard to capture everything. I mean we missed an entire section (Toyo Tires tent), but that just means I gotta try harder this year!

    I love that every time I end up going out to another event, it ends up being better then the last one. And it’s not about how many cars there are, or the “OMG did you see that Porsche that showed up?”. All of that is great and all. And it isn’t about the fact that the class of cars down here in the Rio Grande Valley has become ridiculous (I mean that in a really good way). But there’s one thing I love seeing at events like this more than the exotics that pull up, more than the older classics that pull up, and more than the amount of cars that make it to these events.

    The day before the article is scheduled to go up and here I am jamming to some Hans Zimmer (Intersteller OST), a scratch notepad with random jotted down thoughts, and the second monitor full of photos of the feature car. I mean, I can’t break tradition at this point right? Some of my “best” work happens when I procrastinate and stay up late and pay for it in the morning. I dabble in sarcasm if you havent picked this up yet. When catching up with Hector, I realized it can be a little crazy when you’re able to measure how long you’ve known someone by going over the car’s theyve owned over the years. It’s never “Oh man, I’ve known this guy since what…2010?”, but more of a “Oh yeah you had the E46 Sedan, then this other car, then an M3 for a while…”. Car people, am I right?
