SEMA at work for car enthusiasts

Thanks to the efforts of Assembly Members Tim Grayson (D-Concord), Tasha Boerner-Horvath (D-Oceanside), Phil Ting (D-San Francisco), Phil Chen (R-Diamond Bar), Senator Holly Mitchell (D-Los Angeles), and enthusiasts throughout California, state lawmakers have approved SEMA-supported legislation (SB 112) that restores “fix-it” tickets for cars suspected of violating the state’s exhaust noise limit. Once signed into law by California Governor Gavin Newsom, SB 112 will take effect immediately.

SB 112 removes cars from the impact of AB 1824, which was signed into law by then-Governor Jerry Brown in June of 2018. AB 1824 amended how California law enforcement officials issued citations for suspected exhaust noise violations by removing the ability to issue fix-it tickets, which allowed for 30 days to correct a violation; instead, motorists received an immediate fine. The bill generated significant concern within the specialty automotive aftermarket industry and enthusiast community. Once signed into law by Gov. Newsom, SB 112 will again allow law enforcement to issue fix-it tickets.

when birds try to ruin your day, and your car's paint, there is a quick and easy 2 step product that ends the mess, saves your paint, and doesn't require a bottle of cleaner, and a paper towel. It's an all in one... and works quite well. The Drop Wipe!

just that fast and easy. I love these, and though it's quite rare that I get bombed by a bird, this two part - two paper towel system took care of the slop real fast.

Found these in the new product area at SEMA last year, and ridiculous as it seems, this was the first time I've been able to use the sample the nice guy at the booth gave me

of all the things you'd expect to find at Sema, the world's most precise scales aren't even close to being on the list

but when you can weigh parts for balancing, to the 100th of a gram... or get the mixture of paint parts incredibly accurate

from zero to 3200 grams, it's accurate to a thousandth of a gram.

Sartorius is a German company and maker of some of the world's finest balances since 1871 when they introduced the world's first pharmaceutical balance. Only Sartorius shatters the limits when "the Guinness Book of World Records" listed the Sartorius Model 4108 as the most accurate balance in the world.

 Sartorius has been proving their trustworthiness thanks to their top-of-the-line technology that ensures maximum accuracy. Sartorius products are manufactured with ISO9001 standards and have the CE mark.

I don't think I've ever seen a Vega this tricked out

and a hell of a cool door handle

I have enjoyed the variety in the booths at SEMA, for 10 years now, and I think this is the first time I've seen cactus. It's quite marvelous, and sets the scene for the Baja themed truck perfectly. I wish they had bigger cacti! That would be even cooler

cool little kids size WW2 era Jeep

there were several booths that gave beer to SEMA participants, but I only came across one booth that gave away water, and Italian water... so I told the guy with the booth, I'd post the booth, and water, in thanks -

to me this looks like the Cody Coyote from the tv show Hardcastle and McCormick

nice 71 Camaro

I found a couple tools at SEMA, new to me, but you may have been using something similar for years,

Fabreeze has a clever funny bumper sticker on thier booth prop

Auto Sno Brum with telescoping handle... that stows away pretty small and easily fits in a vehicle, and has an ice scraper on the other end

https://www.snobrumusa.com/  but shop for best price, it looks to be a lot cheaper at Home Depot than direct from the manufacturer

air freshners shaped like t-shirts, advertised on a t-shirt shaped board

And if they were making Blazers at Chevy, this is what a big fan thinks it would look like

I didn't know what the story is with this Porsche, but Adam did, it's the Emory Motorsport Momo 356 RSR

but that's a set of turbos under the tail
