Our coverage of the SEMA Show has already hit full stride, but the show itself takes place next week in Las Vegas. And flying to Las Vegas from Los Angeles is never an option for those of us that love to drive. It's a 295 mile run through the desert if you stay on the interstate, but there are more than a few detours (great roads, great scenery) that are worth the extra time and miles.
I leave for Vegas on Monday and this year my chosen stead is our long-term 2009 BMW 750i (Last year I drove our long-term Cadillac CTS and the year before that I took our long-term Infiniti G35.). I've already thrown our Escort radar detector in the BMW's glovebox, so I'm sure not to forget it, and as you can see I already plugged Vegas into the car's nav system.
I'll let you know how it goes next week.

When u post the same joke/idea over and over (radio playboy) then what it becomes....?
Not a single positive word comes to my mind.

You know, if you set the radio so only the rear speakers play it, you can pretend you got a couple of "active" women in the back seat...

If you play the slots in Vegas and win $90,000, you can buy the car!

Gimme some of the blue, and a little bit of the yella... Don't skimp on me now.

Woot SEMA! I'll be there Thursday and Friday. Yay. I just looked at the SEMA website and it said it wasn't open to the general public, I did not know that was the case. Thought it was just another show. Anywho, my cousin is a planner of some sort where they hold the show and she already signed us up. I'm looking forward to it.

You need navigation guidance to go to Vegas? You just get on the 15 North and exit when you see the pyramid, no?
