The Fashionable Driver

I want to take a moment to talk about an upcoming convention in Las Vegas. SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) is an annual custom car and truck show/market where pretty much anybody who is anybody in the auto world comes to show-off and sell their neatest after-market products.

I love this show because it showcases the newest products out there. You will also find plenty of booths that sell fashionable car clothing and apparel (all sorts of car themed t-shirts, Cadillac purses, Ferrari bags, etc.). For 2008, Car Crazy Chicks will have a booth and will be selling an enormous line of car bags and purses. If you can think of a classic car, Kristie at Car Crazy Chicks has made a purse for it!

Thousands of people attend this gigantic convention (it will take several days to go through the whole thing (like the Luv!)). It is great to be around so many like-minded car enthusiasts. I highly recommend attending! Contact me if you need help registering.

Last year I could not believe how many gals were taking an interest to the SEMA show. If you are hesitant to go, don’t worry about feeling out-of-place; women love cars, be proud of it! I want a strong female attendance this year as well.

You have to register to get in and you technically need to have something to do with the auto industry. However, if you told them that you had intentions of creating an auto company and you were going to be a “buyer,” I am sure they wouldn’t be Fort Knox about it. Here are the cost details according to their site (SEMASHOW.com):

Before October 24 the fee for qualified Buyers and Nonbuyers is $15 on-line and $25 via fax or mail with the exception of Non-Exhibiting Manufacturers which is $200 per person.

After October 24, registrations will be available online and onsite only for a cost of $60 for qualified attendees with the exception of Non-Exhibiting Manufacturers which is $200 per person.

Non-Exhibiting Manufacturers are permitted two (2) registrants per company at a cost of $200 per person.

The convention is Tuesday, Nov. 4th to Friday, Nov. 7th 2008 @ the Las Vegas Convention Center (in Las Vegas). To register online click here. Let’s have a strong female showing this year!

I know you fashionable car owners are feeling the gas prices… It’s hurt the economy and so, as I’ve noticed, people are selling their possessions left and right. It can be a bit depressing, but have no fear. Everything will be back to tip top shape in know time. My husband works in Real Estate and so I’ve heard the worst of it. But he says that their will be a shortage of housing in a year or two and this will drive back the value of houses –so stay strong!

He is selling partnerships in his yacht because we don’t have the time (or money) to spend on it anymore. There will be 5 partners each sharing 10 weeks on the vessel. If you or someone you know would be interested feel free to click here: Yacht Partners or Yacht Condo Partners

A partnership costs 450,000$ and my husband will finance you. The yacht is based in San Diego, California. This seems expensive at first, but believe me, it is really a great price for what you get. Best of all, you don’t get the stress of having manage your own yacht–it is all taken care of for you.

Anyway, I know this is a bit of a stray from car clothing, but I just had to get it out there. I also know that I have not posted in a while…I am sorry! I’ll be back on the car clothing deals soon!

Keep up the Fashion
