Luxury Auto Show Pics...

[Avery4jc]

Hey guys I ran by the show my dad is working at and snapped some shots...its pretty cool because it had everything from rhinos to full blown sand rails...trucks, cars, boats...rv's...pretty much everything...anyways heres some pics...

more on the way...

This is a new style rv thats pretty sweet...its an rv but it has a drop down in the back for quads and stuff...

This KTM was cool....950cc on a glorified dirt bike is just insane...

This is where my dad's booth was...the lighting made it hard to get pics...

These are just an overhead shot of the floor of the SaveMart Center...this is where the porshe, lambo, bentley, ferrari, benz, bmw, aston martin, etc. were...

the cadillac is nice. but why in the world is it purple??? that ruins it.

 

[SUPERSUB87]

not to mention those rhinos could very well top the $25,000 range. And that sand rail is sweet.

Welcome to Cali bro...

Honestly out of all of the FTS trucks that were there the Caddy had the best suspension...I was actually at Full Throttle's shop when they pulled it out of the garage....I was there buying u-bolts for my 14ff so its always cool when I see it knowing I was one of the first from the general public to see it...

Its hard to tell but the Titan (kick a$$ in my opinion...for a mall crawler) actually has painted leave spring packs that alternate colors...not the entire thing but each individual leaf spring. They took the pack apart and painted them black and green...its pretty wild stuff...

One funny thing though...if you look close all of the FTS trucks run the stock 1/2 ton axle out back Shoot that black standard cab has a 10b w/ drum brakes in the rear end...rofl...IMO even if it is a mall crawler when you get to that size (40" tires on 22" rims and stuff) you need to step up to a FF setup for safety alone...

yeah i noticed the 1/2 gear. we have plenty of show trucks in texas, but i havent seen one or two for this matter with purple underneath.

went to the movies last night with my gf and there was a 2005 candy blue avalanche with a fullthrottle suspension all chromed out with 24's on the 38x15.50 kumhos or toyos. which ever companys makes tires for 24.s it was insane. and i was laughing my a$$ off at the 1/2 gear in the back while my gf just stood there with the infamous WTF expression. she just doesnt understand.

and that nissan is pure insanity. how much were they selling those rigs for???

 

[Avery4jc]

The FTS shop around here seems to think everything is worth about $90,000 so I'm sure thats what they were asking for those...btw all of those trucks were for sale...

Major shwing !

Talk aboot sex on two wheels !

Huba huba!

 

[Avery4jc]

haha...I'm going back tonight to hang out with my dad at their booth b/c believe it or not the crowd is minimal so I'm going to keep him company...I'll see if theres anymore ducati's to take pics of...

 

[ramjet gmc]

wow nice stuff -- i don't think i could even pay for the air in that room

 

[Avery4jc]

haha yeah no kidding...

Well it was sort of a sad evening...I went back to hang out w/ my dad and it was still a ghost town...no joke there were about 300 people ALL DAY LONG...from 10:00 this morning until everyone packed up and took off around 6:00...

This weekend is also the huge "Home and Garden Show" that attracts thousands and thousands of people which definately put a hurt on the numbers but also I think it was the way they advertised it...they called it a "Luxury Auto Show" and in all the posters had an rv, benz and ferrari I believe in the front...they showed boats, bikes, trucks, vendors, etc....so I think that definately hurt their numbers too...

The vendors all decided it was insane so they got a couple thousand tickets and gave them to the models and they are going to the Grizzlies Baseball game tonight (our local AAA team) and then to the Home and Garden Show tomorrow to give out free tickets...so hopefully that increase numbers for tomorrow afternoon...

That sandrail is pretty sweet, but whats with all those FTS trucks. Full throttle suspension is, hands down, the worst lift kit company out there

 

[Avery4jc]

They have a shop here in Fresno so they show up at pretty much every show/event in the area...

Yeah I've never quite understood their lift kits...half the time it seems like they put so much extra crap into their kits that the ground clearance is the same if not lower than when it was stock lol...

Now this something I can get into....

 

[Avery4jc]

Yeah they are cool...I've been around them so much since my dad works there that sometimes they lose the "wow" factor but ever so often a bike will hit me...the BMC's have been pretty cool lately and its hard to deny the cool factor of the 113cid S&S that is in the blue bike on the stand...

 

[lar300mag]

One Day, I keep saying one day I will own a custom bike, but for now I am happy with my softtail, esp. since I found a guy to powder coat a lot of parts for me (cheaper and should look better for what I want)
You need to hook me up with parts
heres mine-still plain lookin- but I will finish blacking it all out sooner or later

 

[southernspeed]

Good pics, loving those boats. The cat is awesome and the mono behind it is to die for!
What does your Dad do? What's the name of his company?

 

[supersize75k5]

im not being an ass, but im not impressed at all, when we had the luxury show here it was insane compared to that,

not to mention every car on the floor in your pics you can see at a stop light in north scottsdale. Drive around kierland shopping center here, one day in the same intersection were two sunburst orange lambo's..crazy

still cool pics but not much to look at, was it a smaller show? how come so few venders?

 

[Avery4jc]

Yeah it was a pretty small show that was more for the r.v./trailer/boat aspect of things but since we have a couple exotic car dealerships here in town they got the floor of the arena for their stuff...

My dad works for PG&E but before that he worked at Freedom Rider of Fresno...basically a motorcycle shop that sells "stock customs" is the best way to describe it...Although he works for PG&E now he still does shows for the shop on weekends and stuff...

Mark: those boats were incredible...the two on the floor run two engines that are over 1,000cid a piece...
