Another year, another slow economy for the USA and specifically sunny Las Vegas, yet the 2011 SEMA Show Photos seems to be packed full of modified and exotic cars. It truly is something to visit SEMA, and see all the sweat, blood and money that goes into some of the custom cars and trucks at this show. Special thanks go out to my friend Richard Owen (founder of supercars.net) for these pictures and the rest to come this week!

Here is a Video of Adam Carolla giving us a walk and talk around of his Chip Foose modified 2004 Aston Martin racing green with Oxblood Red leather interior. Vinay and I actually bumped into Adam (photo below) at the Portola Hotel & Spa where the RM Auction was held (and heard him on the outdoor Russo & Steele Auto auction loudspeaker after he bought a 1967 Ferrari for over $300k). We even shared an elevator ride to our floor with DuPont Registry founder Thomas L. duPont.
