Great pictures, That Mustang w/ the rear engine is quite interesting.

:eek2: :hsughr: :runcoold: :yahoo_35: :cool2: :drool: :drool: 
WOW! GREAT COVERAGE!!!!!!
SO MUCH CRAZY SHIET, I CAN'T EVEN TALK ABOUT IT!!!!!!

nice shots.......wish I was there
 
thanks for sharing, I'm definitley gonna make it in 2008

dam solo, you covered the show thoroughly!  
 
Thanks for stopping by our booth! Glad you got to meet Jo-san.

Wait....

6 days and 1 party?  Are you gay??

Hahaha, I thought SEMA was just one 140+HR party?  At least it was almost everytime I've gone..haha..even when filming!!

Nice job with the coverage though, good pics too.  And if you mention Canada in a sentence..you end it with "eh?"..haha.

Great coverage Solo makes me feel like I was there!

np guys.. just looking out for everyone that did not make it to SEMA this year.

pgmotoringusa: pleasure meeting you and everyone else at the JB booth. Jo is a great guy! I actually did not have anytime to walk the Tire/wheel and Electronic halls at all. unlike everyone else, my a$$ was doing PR for the company, etc. Next year I will try to get away for aleast a day to enjoy the show.

elpresidente: I have a wife and a 15 month old daughter. Im not gay.

gato: let me know if you can make it next year. you will surely have fun. they say, if you were to walk the entire event, it is literally 6.8 miles long. damn!

PANCAKES!: I didnt post the Overhaulin' pictures. Chip Foose was building his last car for the TLC show. They had a tent that did not stop all week. Basically, they built a 2 door Ford Fairlane in 5 days. ppl were able to just sit and watch as they built the entire car from ground up. I stopped by Thursday night and they were just ready to drop in the motor. Friday in the afternoon, the motor started for the first time and you can hear ppl cheer all over the placae. very cool.

what do u do for Troy and FIVEaxis...?

[QUOTE=Big Steve;104504]Dope pictures Solo!! Glad to have finally met you. hopefully next year will be better!![/QUOTE]

awesome meeting you steve... try to make a norcal show next season.. keep me posted with socal shows aswell. i will try to make one at least. ur car is super nice!


solo

sweet pics.  I had passes to go this year but couldn't make it last minute.  I'll be there in 08 for sure....

swifty - no I'm not Heimeng, Heimeng is one of Troy's designers.  My name is Wes, unfortunately I didn't make it to SEMA this year due to a hectic school schedule. I think I met you at Scion Nights, I was the short asian kid..haha, the one that was Glenn's biatch over the summer.

Solo - I was the "summer marketing intern" for Troy at FIVEaxis, but Since Troy's never had a real 'intern' before, I was basically the FIVEaxis bitch..haha naw j/k, it was actually really dope.  I got an inside view of how the company was run, and I helped Troy and his team with the launch of their new retail products, mainly their new line of tC, xB, and xD lip kits.  I was also involved in the launch of their new line of wheels.  As far as the 'marketing' aspect goes, I would inform customers on new products, as well as post up information and answer questions on various Scion forums and emails that people would send into the company.  Other then that, it was your typical internship, sometimes I'd would pick up food for Troy, prepare the cars for the shows, throw in my input on ideas and such, etc.  I still drop from time to time, but with my hectic School schedule, its hard to go in too often (I go to school at UCR and FIVEaxis is located in Huntington beach).  But yea, hope that answers some of your questions lol, I'm sure I did more, but I don't want to bore you with it 

Big Steve - i <3 your car!! :biggthumpup:

Amazing pictures and coverage thanks!

What was the name of the shop in Canada that brought that nutty Saturn Sky eh?
