Our car is in the north hall, just inside the front entrance. Somewhere around 13000

Re: Lemons at SEMA!

I feel sorry for the poor owners of the nice cars next to us.

We heard the owner of the Camaro to our left (not pictured) ask if he could move his car hahah

This needs quoting. I think it's hilarious that the guy wanted to be moved. Was he afraid that real racin' was going to scare his motor?

Probably just feeling insecure since that car is probably trailered everywhere and not been taken over 25 since it was restored.

It's actually a brand new Camaro, but a complete show queen.

I have it on good authority the complaint was lodged due to the fact our POS was showing up in pictures of his car, reflected in the paint...

Favorite SEMA car ever .....by far.

Re: Lemons at SEMA!

I think Prickstine is the most tastefully modded car to appear at SEMA ever, plus it isn't deathly afraid of asphalt and natural sunlight.

"Prickstine" is an '87 BMW 325E built as Lemons race car tribute to "Christine" the '58 Plymouth made famous in the Steven King movie of the same name. The car isn't pretty, but it does have a sense of humor. Take, for example, the front bumper: Look closely and you will see that shiny substance is, yes, tin foil.

Yeah, they could have elaborated - but they did mention it.

Re: Lemons at SEMA!

They didn't say anything about its glorious racing heritage. How could that have missed that? And they call themselves journalists.

Re: Lemons at SEMA!

Not only was the Prickstine there representing, but these art pieces found in the central lobby look mighty familiar to the trophies that Lemons racers have been winning for years.

Re: Lemons at SEMA!

You pulled up short just so that trailer queen would be in that last shot, didn't you?

(then again, it IS an open trailer, and it DOES have plates, so it's not as bad as it could be)
