    First of all: WATCH 52 FAVORITE CARS ON SPIKE TV TOMORROW AT 9:00PM (I know it's up against the Sopranos, but the Sopranos will rerun on Monday)

    Second of all: When I say I have press credentials to a hot car show and do you want to come down to the show with me, you say "YES!"

    Rob and I cruised on down to Atlantic City this morning to visit SEMA IAS at the Convention Center. The show itself was on the small side, we cruised through before it opened to the public and saw a bunch of randomly interesting stuff including a 360 Spider painted on the door of an Acura or something. There were a few "booth babes" and we got the mandatory free soda at the Yokohama media center.

    Of course, we jumped the line (All Access, Baby) and drove the 350Z and WRX STi in the BF Goodrich Challenge (I think Rob won) but the real fun came when Chunky Bai from the Signal Auto Drifting Team took us for a spin in their Right-Hand Drive Nissan 480SX.

    If you do not know what Drifting is, you need to get out more. ;-) It's this "new" motorsport that is imported from Japan where you basically skid your car around some course sideways as close to objects (and other cars) as you can without hitting anything. It's a load of fun, does not require much room to run an event and you get a great reaction from the crowd...

    Of course, the crowd could only stand around and watch. They did not get to go for a ride -- only us cool people -- of which you can be next time.

    Hey Emil:

    Yeah a run like this was supposed to happen but something came up. I am up for that. It would be a lot of fun and I still have yet to see the Borgata. I heard it is amazing.
