Question SEMA 08 Where do YOU start?

So the anticipation is coming to an end, the big show is here!
So whats the first thing you want to go and check? the Hot Rod area? the wheel & tire arena? Outside? whats your favorite area?

Just curious what everyone likes and where they tend to spend alot of time?

Have a good time!

1st? Probably the wheel/tire room!!

Actually there are a lot of cars I'm going to want to see! I typically start in the North building and walk....walk......walk....walk....you get the idea!

I cant wait to see The One Lap car, Bandit, Motiv8ter, and many more!!

Only two more days!!

This will be my first time at SEMA.From reading past post i'm sure i will be overwelmed by the whole event.Looking forward to seeing all the cars that will be there from this and pro touring board. personally I cant wait to see the wheel room. Its the hardest thing to decide on and seeing them in person should help to narrow down the choice for my project.I've talked about this for the past few weeks and my wife cant wait to get rid of me for a few days.

I always start in the main Hot Rod hall; that seems to have the majority of the cool stuff. You do have to look everywhere though, as there's cool items and cars everywhere, but that's where I start and spend most of my time.

First time for me too. I've got a buddy meeting me there who's been before. He said theres usually LOTS to see in the wheel/tire area along with wheels and tires.
They oughta make some of you wear nametags to give warning to us "mortals" that we are in the presence of Lat-G royalty.

Hot Rod Alley and the main auto makers displays is the place to be. Go to the Ford display and check out Webb's/Naff's Golden Sub, awesome to say the least. stay out of the wheel building, too far too walk, it's a joke. Lot of people pulled out this year.

very good point. You'll be doing a ton of walking, and there are few places to sit at the convention center, plus you'll be on your feet a ton after hours if you do the normal casino deal and tourist stuff, so good comfortable shoes are a very good idea.
