I am pretty excited and just thought I would mention it. Taking my wife to Vegas for her 40th birthday and we're going to the show. I am pretty lucky as she is looking forward to the show almost as much as me.
I will try to take good pictures and share when I get back. I hope Ford has the white racing Mustang there. I and some of my salespeople watched the Discovery channel show on it and we've been talking about it since. I love that car.
I will be shopping for aftermarket mods that my performance department will be carrying. Any suggestions are welcome.
Actually, that could be a pretty good topic. I could use your expert advice.

Congrats! Sounds like a lot of fun. (And it's always nice to have a spouse that enjoys what you do).

There will probably be requests that you look for particular things on some of the cars, but if you happen to think about it, I'd be interested in your impressions of the crowd reaction to the various conversions. Does the crowd seem to like Steeda better than the others, for example?

I know your eyes will be glued to the cars, but check the size and reaction of the audience around them too, if you can.

Good suggestion. I usually try to gauge crowd reaction whenever I go to a car show. I can really learn a lot by watching and listening. I will try to remember to post on crowd reaction.

Maybe we could set up a meeting time and place for Mustang Source members. It would be cool to meet and compare our experience.

Hey see if you can get a line on the mod that converts your rear tail lights to sequential turn signals.

I am bringing my laptop to SEMA, that way I can avoid the whole 10 memory card issue

PS -- Visit www.Sequentialtaillights.com (I think) for the best system out there. I had NO wiring experience and although it took me 3 hours the first time, I now help people in Chicago land with their installs and it takes less than an hour. Their kit is much cheaper than others and looks like Sony produced it (well, the look and quality is very high.

Thank you everybody. I have to tell the true story of booking the trip. As I said, I actually booked the trip as a gift for my wife, totaling forgetting that SEMA was scheduled that week. Pure luck and karma that when I decided I needed to go to SEMA, I looked on the web site only to realize I was already set.

If you can bring a video camera or something to record sound, in case they show off their aftermarket exhaust systems. And congrats!

BEK355, you should get your plastic entrance card any day -- I got mine on Friday (10.1.04), so watch that mailbox! I'd post a scan, but that would be a security threat probably and we know Al Quaeda wants to hit SEMA.

(finally got a use out of that one!!)
