SEMA 2017 Street Cars
The SEMA Show is the ultimate annual car show, and the largest custom car show in the world. It is all about the automotive aftermarket, in the MANY forms that takes. While I usually cover most of the show from an overland and off road perspective, which I of course did again and will write about soon, I wanted to show you the amazing on road rolling art that I spotted around the show this year.
If someone handed you the keys to any vehicle in this post, which you had to keep and enjoy the rest of your life, which would it be? I know that is an EXTREMELY hard question to answer, but for me it would probably have to be the Ringbrothers “ADRNLN” build below. That car would turn heads everywhere it goes, be street legal, be an absolute weapon on the track and would be hard pressed to ever look dated.
