 From ?69 Camaros to Checker Cabs, SEMA dresses up the classics
LAS VEGAS - Luckily, not everything in Vegas STAYS in Vegas. Otherwise, no one would get to see, touch, appreciate and drive beauties like the Baldwin-Motion 1969 Camaro SuperCoupe. It's a Chevy, kinda, though everything underneath is completely new. A new car with old style, now that's SEMA, just as the annual festival of auto freaks and fans would be lacking if the one and only Jay Leno failed to make an appearance. The comic's well-known preference for motor oil is a given, but with the addition of a specially-built '32 Roadster, his is a garage that must be bursting at the seams with dream cars from virtually every generation. And it's not just a looker: the roadster creates 508-horsepower out of the Chevrolet Corvette's LS7 V8 engine.
Celebrities - humph.
Take the good students at Washentaw College in Michigan, certifiedMidwestern gearheads who spent their summer overhauling a breathtakingly beautiful 1970 Chevelle. Thanks to the "Oh So Orange" paint, the 620-horsepower V8 engine and an interior that takes you back in time, the real point of the all this Vegas madness comes shining through: kids building a car, making it beautiful, for really no other reason than to celebrate the romance between Americans and their cars.

Choosing The Best Used Auto Dealership For Your Needs
When buying a car, you have to decide many things. What kind of car are you buying SUV, sedan, sports, luxury, etc? Which manufacturer do you buy from Ford, Volvo, Honda, etc? All these are questions that you need to answer. You must also find a used car dealership in your area. The logical choice, of course, is your neighborhood auto dealership. It would be very convenient to buy from your local auto dealer since this will mean that you will have easy access to the store for parts, after sales service and for other transactions. However, do you simply settle for the nearest auto dealer and not exert any effort in finding a nearby dealer that could offer you so much more?
How To Choose Your Auto Dealer
With our on-the-go lifestyle, cars provide us the necessity to get us where we need to be in a short span of time. Thus, we need to choose the best car for us, one that will save us both our money and our time. The question is, where do we look?
