The SEMA International Auto Salon has done it again. Just when you thought the single greatest import event in the universe couldn't get any cooler, any tighter, any smoother. When you thought it had reached the very edge of its limit, the big brains at SEMA bust out a fresh six-pack of shizzle fo nizzle.
This year, IAS is taking the show bicoastal by staging a little something insiders call IAS East with a show at the Atlantic City Convention Center in downtown Atlantic City. OK, take a breath. Regain composure. There's no typo...in addition to its annual show in Los Angeles, IAS is going to rock the boardwalk on May 21-22. Here's everything you need to know for both shows.
