2012 SEMA Trucks

SEMA has now ended; we all need to get back to reality and back to work. The smell of tire shine in the air, sound of cars drifting outside, and the endless rows of cars are what SEMA is all about. Not only did the show cars shine, but the displays played a big role for showing off the cars and its unique features. Walking about the floors of the Las Vegas Convention Center are 60,000 buyers just looking for the next trend or something they can throw on their ride. Having your car as one of the show cars at SEMA is a big accomplishment. Even though SEMA is taken over by mostly cars, they do have trucks also!  For all of those who missed SEMA here is a glimpse of what SEMA was like for us.  Enjoy! 

The automotive market has been big and continues to expand. For those of you who thought this market was dying down... think again. The automotive industry brings $30 billion annually. Everyone has a different taste for what they like, and that is what makes this industry so big. There is so much room for creativity and uniqueness, the varieties of different automotive parts just might be never ending! Most people who own trucks are known for being very high with bright lights you can’t stand! At SEMA you will see more than just the lifted truck with HID’s. These trucks have the best lift kit money can buy. The craziest paint jobs ever, and the meatiest tires you will see.  Whatever it is for you, we hope you will be able to drive the car of your dreams.

2013 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG

Does your wife always nag at you to get the groceries quick? Well here is your perfect excuse to get a new car, and a pretty fast one also I must say.  The new 2013 ML63 AMG is still your typical family SUV but with just twin-turbos and some boost under the hood. The ML is a heavy groceries-getter weighing in at two and a half tons. This beast has a 5.5 liter V-8 with 14.5 psi of boost pushing 518 horses, meaning you will hit that 60 in about 4.8 seconds. Once you select the AMG Performance package, your  boost goes up to 18.9 psi, with 550 horses hitting that 60 will be even quicker in about 4.5 seconds. Your top speed is governed at 155 mph even with the Performance package. So you guys know what this means right...? Off the line you will be head to head with the, BMW X5 M (4.5 sec), Porsche Cayenne Turbo (4.4 sec), Land Rover Supercharged (5.6 sec). The ML now has active anti-roll bars, cornering almost feels like the X5 M which is a good thing. This ML isn't going to be going on some crazy trails or going up a snowy mountain road with its stock tires. But once you change the tires you're going to change the whole character of the car together with handling. So what I'm trying to say is just keep it the way it is. The inside of the ML is like walking into a designer store. The insides are wrapped in a very high-end grade leather. You will be rolling pretty deep with the stock 21-inch wheels, and nice chrome exhaust tips. So now your probably wondering what is all this going to cost you? Its going to set you back a nice $95,865 base, but with just a few lovely upgrades your looking at six figures already, about $112,805.
