When it comes to quality and what's new in the import world this is the show to hit if you do not feel like waiting till the end of the year at SEMA in Las Vegas. As my typical weekend in Southern California, the Kontradictions Krew hooked me up with a ride and a place to stay. Although the garage is cramped with parts I manage to find a clean spot to make my bed to get some sleep for the much-anticipated weekend.
Since we didn't have to be there till some what of a decent time we were able to sleep in till a whoopin' 8:30 so we could be on the road to LA by 9. As we arrived at the convention center we found a quick parking garage less then a block away and began our journey to look at some phat rides. We first stopped at the press area to pick up my pass and then began our way around the event to look at what all the hoopla was about.
Our first order of business was to go check out the guys at the Magnaflow booth to see how things were going. They quickly pointed out a couple of models located in a booth over in their direction and instructed me to snap a few photos of them, so obviously I obliged. After the torture of taking photos of gorgeous women I proceeded on through the show to take as many photos as possible before the crowds of people were let in.
While making my rounds I was sure to capture plenty of model coverage for all of you horny guys out there. Not that I wanted to take the photos mind you, but because it is my job. Haha… As making my way through I managed to run into SSM cover model Vanessa Graw and some of her model buddies. After a brief conversation it was time to finish up the show and head home. As most of you know I was in a wreck shortly before this show so my back wasn't handling the walking very well so things were cut short. I can't wait till next year when I can actually enjoy this show, as it was huge with plenty to see and do.
