Going to SEMA Photos and a couple products

I'm kinda interested in the sonic, might go check it out. It does come with a turbo.

That would make it interesting then. I like the look, at least the fixed up ones at the show. Nice interior, also!!

The Sonic should share the same drivetrain options as the Cruze; 1.4L turbo and a 1.8L n/a.

Johnny: do you remember the Chevy girl's name? Might know her from some other shows.

​In Texas, the Chevy display had this cool flying Sonic. LOL

Been meaning to check out the Cruze eco too, another interesting car, turbo 6-speed.

How did they hold that car up there?????

[dodgeshadowchik]

LOL.. it was just a radio controlled hovering balloon, really. But the detail on it is quite amazing!

Also for a cast steel heavy duty air hose reel for my shop with non-kink air-line. 1/2 price! ...and they through in the water hose made of the same stuff and some high flow air couplers for the air hose.

Here is a tire I saw in the tire/wheel building.

Love my hose (er.... air line) below zero out and it still moves freely

Gotta a few yards around here using those runflats

[Johnny]

No, sorry. But very natural looking, very cute. I would have taken her over the car!

I'm sure most on here would take her On the car , UNDER the car , IN the car

That is not what I meant, but..........

Hundreds of girls at the booths showing the wares, many smart, knowing the product. Others with bolt-ons and showing them off to get you to stop at the booth.

Forget "bolt-ons", I'm more interested in "getting nuts off".

[Johnny]

I'm more interested in "getting nuts off".

Speaking of this, WD-40 came out with a new item that is to compete with PB Blaster. "THEY" say it is even better.

ALSO found a company making polyurethane bungee cords with nylon ends. These will not break or crack from age. And come with hard nylon ends that will not scratch like the metal end ones will.

[dodgeshadowchik]

Ok, gotcha. Figured I'd ask. The company that we work for requires that we know the basics about cars and the product line quite well. So that helps with the credibility on the show floor. There's really 2 or 3 major companies that put on these shows. It's really quite interesting to see what's involved. However, some clients don't care as much about product knowledge as others. When Fiat took over Chrysler, they canned most of their veteran product reps in favor of models. Well, when that model was asked some VERY basic questions about the car and failed, it was quite an embarrassment on Fiat's part. The girl didn't even know what a "console" was!! On top of that, this happened in L.A.; which is considered a "major." They have since tried to bring back some more knowledgeable people.

Now you will find more less-knowledgeable folks on the Chevy side mixed in with those that know their stuff since the turnover rate is REALLY high over there. Have quite a few stories involving some rather dim Chevy people.... LOL.
