"50 Cool Things You Could Have Seen at SEMA"? More 50 cool thing I wish I could've seen. Especially the old fashion vehicles. The first car I ever fell in love with the a BMW Van. But I knew that they would need a lot of maintenance and they would needed a lot of gas. So just for a certain look these cars were not what I needed for my own personal vehicle. But seeing these cars at conventions makes my drool over the beauty of these vintage dreams. I know that I always enjoy going to these car conventions just to see their vintage section. And they way they sculpted those trucks from sand was amazing. I always see those sand sculptures online, but my question is how do they actually create them?
Yeah, this was pretty cool. The inner workings of the truck made out of sand was particularly fascinating. As someone who's made their fair share of sand castles, seeing this intricacies was extremely impressive. All the old cars were nice to look at too. I have a great respect for people who take the time and effort to restore old cars. The Harley Davidson moped was rather comical. It looks like a kids toy from today, but obviously it was the bees knees at the time of release. On Slide 47, there's this funky looking space car that is the arguably the best part. I wish there was more information on it because the caption doesn't give us much.
Most of these things are so cool because they are either extremely innovative, or totally excessive. One that concerns me is the mechanic elevator. Mainly because I have worked in conditions like that before, and working on my stomach for a long time is super uncomfortable and straining to the back and shoulders. I was also blown away by the 1963 Willis Jeep because I have always wanted a pick up truck of my own (my dad has one) and I love Jeeps! The old-look is simply beautiful and sleek, especially with the restorative paint job. Overall, this is definitely a convention I would love to go to in the future.
Pretty amazing pictures, to see what people can do. So yes the car pictures were cool and the impressive. Really nice I do not want to underestimate them in my comment.
But what else does this show do? I saw a few tool and more car pictures. I would have liked to see more of the pictures of tool and innovation. People progressing tools and technology together. Those pictures I did not see, so I wonder is this just a big fancy car show? If it is that is fine, just not what I was expecting to see in those pictures.
