Sema 2021

[SuperBuickGuy]

It's going to start a little earlier for me - I'm driving there. The plan is go to Boise then Ely then Vegas. I have always wanted to see the Nevada Railroad Museum, and this seems to be my chance (on Monday). On the way back, I may drive through Moab - it adds about 100 miles to the trip.

Anyway, the adventure starts in about 12 hours. I'm sure the BS crew will have their front page stuff, this is just me sharing my view of it.

I predict you'll love Ely. The museum is really excellent and is a favorite place of mine.

the internet connection in my room is beyond slow and I'm too lazy to go get my hotspot (20 feet from my room... straight out the door, same level...) there will be pictures. I can't believe how green this side of Nevada is.... I have a new favorite route.

stomped around the station tonight - but I left at 4:44 this morning and arrived here at 4:56p.... not bad, actually, google prediction when I left was I'd arrive at 5:07. Not only did I beat the time, but I stopped for food and fills along the way.

anyway, tomorrow museum then the final 250 miles to Vegas

My truck is coding a bad NOX sensor code. It's under warranty, but I'm not sure I'm going to drop it off at the dealership in Vegas or not. I guess the getting of the sensor can take some time - if that's the case, I'll suffer the 5 mpg mileage hit and simply drive it home for the warranty work.... we will see. It's always something

In other news, my most favorite of our dogs had to cross the rainbow bridge.... why am I losing dogs right before out-of-town automotive stuff? sigh.

We were blessed to have her for 12 years, and she was a great, great trailing dog (Stella to those who knew). She make quite a paw print on this planet.

Anyway, onward.

Sorry to hear about Stella, always heart wrenching.
Take lots of pics at the Railway museum !

Dogs are EXCELLENT travel mates !!
Sorry for loss !!
My last Dog was left here when my kids grew up and went off to school and carriers.
He past away in 2010.
You Never Realize how much you talk to yourself till your dog dies......

[DanStokes]

Sorry Stella had to leave you. I know how tough that was for me and I'll wager your heartbreak is similar.

Cool FJ they never made

Kindigit was there with his 53 Corvettes... these are art morrison chassis, LS3 powered, carbon fiber'd bodied C1 Corvettes - oh and dimensionally a bit different... still, I'm not a fan of the 53/54 C1s but I like these

57 abomination


exercise for GM, not a production but neat idea

context - 91" wheelbase.... my FJ40 is 94


Convertible C8 driven by Milner

Z06 driven by Ron Fellows

these sound amazing
EV hummer


wrong audience, but the new Z car is cool -

people were laughing at me taking pictures of the sky - but then looked up and got it

Hoonigan donk Caprice.... this thing sounds wicked


Foose was there with his truck (which is pretty cool)

There was an Xtensive show on wh
