The Weird, The Unusual, The Unexplainable Oddities Of The 2017 SEMA Show
The Weird, The Unusual, The Unexplainable Oddities Of The 2017 SEMA Show
Nov 19, 2017
Just the thing for a tailgating party for you and 11 of your best friends - with room for coolers
The Specialty Equipment Market Association puts on its annual trade show at the Las Vegas Convention Center and limits attendance to only those directly involved in the automotive aftermarket. As such, most of the modified vehicles on display are there to feature a particular sponsor’s product (and often more than one). It’s usually very clear as the product is prominently featured on the vehicle, it carries large stickers on its sides, and it’s in or near the sponsor’s booth. Then there is a small percentage of vehicles that don’t play by those rules. Their existence isn’t questioned by asking “why?” but rather “why the heck not” (or words to that effect). So here we give you, with all due respect and admiration, the oddities of the 2017 SEMA Show.
