    I don't hear a lot of recent chatter about SEMA this year. What's up with that?

    I've been out of the whole car scene for 6 months or so and have been off the boards and whatnot. I had a lil series of bad luck with multiple accidents (all on other peoples insurance at least) in a short period of time back in Spring and I'm just now over the shell shock and with SEMA coming up, hopping back in the saddle.

    Am I right in seeing that Fatchance does not seem to be running a third Bull Run?

    Is anyone attending the show as a vendor/buyer? I saw a thread from back in August and September that had about what 20 people going from the SRT/C ... what's up with y'all? :)

    I'm actually going to drive down on the morning of the 30th for check in that afternoon. The lady and I like to hit the Halloween parties :) OFF THE HOOK!!!! we'll be there for a week or so, we're leaving late on the 5th so we wont be there for the whole show, just the first couple of days. Hopefully we can catch up with a few of y'all before we're up out :)

    Soooooo who's going and when?

    No Bullrun this year. But there will be a crap load of us going. There's a thread here with a pretty decent list. Let me find it for ya.

    No, I didn't. Mostly because I had a few crappy situations in a short period of time. Right before Spring Fling I got rear ended, right after spring fling the body shop's muffler guy split my front bumper from top to bottom, they destroyed my exhaust as well. Then less than a week after the debacle of getting all of that done, someone threw debris out of the back of their truck and MANGLED my front end and under carriage. Ripped the front bumper mostly off, cracked the front, and the truck took off ... he was swerving for an exit to begin with, he was long gone. Then pulled off on a nice patch of shoulder in Santa Cruz at night and the rangers hassled us and made us do a U-turn where no U-turn should have ever been attempted ... bottomed out, and snapped a bolt and ripped one of the frame bars off of the car. A few tac-welds and a new bolt to go, please. Also. Mental note. When your rear tire goes flat overnight, and you're dropped 1.5" on the ride height, and you've got a damaged value stem in the tire so air wont go IN, and the tow truck drivers wont tow you and litter your car all over the road in the process (thanks guys) ... pray you've got a pair of tweezers handy to pluck the o-ring for the value sensor out of there so you can put enough air into limp to wheel works :p

    So yeah. Had a bad run of things so I didn't want to look at my car for a few months :stretcher: but with SEMA coming up and our yearly week in Vegas, I started thinking the other day ... boy I really need to replace my rear window spoiler ... and finish my stereo ... and have a tune and dyno day ... and you know some ghost flames would look coool ..... AWWWW CRAP, the ModBug bit me again! :happy:

    I'm still interested in a bay area group. I'm not so into driving to the central valley every farking gathering. Now that I can stomach looking cars again :)
