RedBull Emsee Do you See this EmSee Words and Photos by: Emil Garcia Car Culture is religion here at SoS. So when Red Bull, a company that has revamped car culture, does music, the staff here at SoS is on hand to witness it. Red Bull’s Emsee Tour made a stop in Miami this past Wednesday and it was an eargasm. The atmosphere was that of street corners and circle crowds where freestyle battles would subject your ears to a verbal onslaught of clever punch lines and euphemisms. The artists crowded the sidewalk early in the evening for a bit of banter and wordplay, warming up for the competition ahead of them. It was a call to arms for the...

Truth be told that there really is no substitute for building something with your own two hands, especially if that something is an awesome car. Helping you build a car that doesn’t explode and, you know, actually exists, is Phoenix’s Local Motors, whose Rally Fighter & Build Experience assists visiting enthusiasts in assembling a street-legal hill climbing, jaw-dropping, neck breaking machine under the direct supervision of their expert builders over the course of just two three-day...

Chevy Ride & Drive Camaro COPO Released Photography by Chris Cruz At this year’s SEMA event, Chevy invited a small group of us to their press release ride & drive. We had the opportunity to test drive the new 2012 models on a closed cone course and we were also given a 1st hand look at what’s to come from Chevy in 2012. We were lucky enough to be asked to park our Flat6 Motorworks X State of Stance Chevy Sonic at the event. I just wish we would have been able to get it on the cone course, it would have really let up test out the Federal tire and Ground Control suspension combo. Some of the other Sonics on display...

SEMA 2011 | Part 2 The Outdoor Show Photography by Chris Cruz The thing about SEMA is that it is so grand in scale, that it is at times hard to ingest. Not only does it consume all three structures of the Las Vegas convention center, but it also claims the two large exterior parking lots adjacent to the two main halls. It’s this exterior section that has a collection of consumer show cars, mixed in with shop cars, mixed in with the famous motorsports exhibition section. While walking through these areas you sometimes find it unbelievable that these cars are not in the convention center. So here is a look at what could be found...

SEMA 2011 | Part 1 Some whips, but mostley hips. Photography by Michael Alvarado What can be said about SEMA? By definition it is an industry trade show founded in 1963 by a group of guys that loved building cars; Roy Richter, Ed Iskenderian, Willie Garner, Bob Hedman, John Bartlett, Phil Weiand, Jr., Al Segal, Dean Moon, and Vic Edelbrock, Jr. They called it the Speed Equipment Manufacturing Association aka SEMA. In 1970 it was changed to Specialty Equipment Market Association, still retaining the SEMA acronym. Since its conception it now consists of over 6500 companies worldwide. While originally it is designed to be a week of networking...

As the sun started to crack over the Florida sky, Nik and his staff where already hard at work to ensure that this 3rd annual event was more organized and more streamlined than last year.
