    SEMA is undoubtedly the largest car show in the world. Every year is something different, but this year I decided to mix things up. This time around I decided to sleep overnight in the Las Vegas convention center in the midnight hours of SEMA 2019. I got to have a peaceful and in depth look at Paul Walker's Ford Escort from Fast and Furious, B is For Build's LSX swapped Lamborghini Huracan, TJ Hunt's Street hunter kit Supra, a stolen Challenger Hellcat, and so many more project that made it to the event. Nothing is as wonderful but eerie as walking around a car show which have over 30,000 attendees a day all by yourself. So how in the world did I get this all access and opportunity! Let me show you around SEMA 2019!

      The Webasto concept car for their EV supplier buisness is Mustang Lithium with Manual Shifter. It uses a highly modified MT 82, odd choice but i guess it survives the massive 1000lb/ft torque. The thing i like most about Electric Cars there are far more compatible parts and you can force wierd combinations. You can literally run a Tesla Drive Unit with a Chevy LG Chem battery. That kind of massive custom functionality to Builders is what will grow the next generation of Car Enthusiasts. Not just buying specialized parts from a OEM. Figuring out your own combination like a Frankenstein engine swap.

Between TDIB and the Life of Patt channels, and your Patterson Car Care line, which I use, you have stayed true to you, blessed us with quality content, and reignited the car enthusiast in me.I am saving for a Mustang that I will get in a few years. Keep up the good work, and keep staying true to yourself.

He started out as a guy with little to no skills in the car world, to a competent custom fab and auto body guy. He's showed us every step in his journey. I'm impressed at all he's done.The car is going to be fun to watch as he tunes it and learns to drag race.

    I love it! An that Trailer was sick! I would've woke up later and came wearing a robe while drinking some coffee with everyone walking around like: "Top of the morning to ya!" Lol .... Indeed the best way to see SEMA.

    For the blue BMW 2002, a couple of things to mention. It is in fact an S55 motor (from an M4) The blue is San Marino blue from the new M5.
