Default Dead Cat NOT going to SEMA

Oh well, easy come...easy go.

I just spoke with the director of marketing yesterday and they have decided to push the launch of their new wheels back 6 months or so. With that being the case, they do not need my vehicle for display. They are shooting for having the wheels ready by the Power Tour I believe.

The good news is I am still going to SEMA as a first time attendee! I look forward to meeting all of you at the Lateral-G party on Wednesday night. As we get closer to the Event it would be nice if we could start a post of the cars from this site that will be there and which booth they will be occupying, so I will know who to go see.

Thanks again for all of the kind words a few weeks ago when my car was selected. Pretty exciting stuff for a few weeks.

Payton

You did everything possible for them, Payton. But ultimately, they dropped the ball.

I know how you feel. The same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago after planning for the show for 2 years. I too will be there carless.

Default No inside scoop

They were so loaded with other projects that they were a little premature on the launch of the new wheel line and 18 inch shells are on back order every where.

That's a bummer. I was looking forward to seeing your car. On the good side it's alot more stressful with a car there, now you can just relax and have fun.
