Autogeek’s SEMA Contest 2014 - A Recap

[Angus]

First and foremost I want to thank the entire Autogeek SEMA crew for rolling out the red carpet for me and my brother in-law Jason at the 2014 SEMA show. As the winner of this year’s “Autogeek SEMA Contest 2014” I was excited to go, meet the AG guys, and experience SEMA. I can only imagine how much time, effort, and energy running a single booth at a trade show can be, and these guys had 3 large booths to manage! From Monday night’s awesome dinner w/ Forrest @ Mother’s Car Care (thanks again Forrest!) to the very end of the show on Friday, Nick and the guys made us feel part of the Autogeek family and went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time at the show.

Jason and me with Mike and Nick:

Ian - it was a pleasure to finally meet you in person. After conversing with you on a day to day basis on the forums, getting a chance to talk car care in person was a real treat - especially over beer and burgers!

I'm also glad to see your passion for car care and detailing has rubbed off on your brother in law Jason - keep up the great work! :dblthumb2:
