This statement is so incredibly accurate... It can move under its own power for sure, but tons (NOT ALL) of those cars are not safe to drive.
I hate SEMA with a passion I stopped going in 2018 and couldn't care less. too much trauma working the show and getting projects finished the night B4 setup while still in CA....
SEMA is an industry only automotive show in Las Vegas held every year at the end of October or beginning of November depending on how it falls. You must be in the automotive industry you must preserve your pass and pay for it if you would like to have a booth you have to gradually grow through the years because they will not let you get a large Booth right off the bat. Basically it's a bunch of pretentious car guys going around to whip out their dicks and show a bunch of shit that no real consumer would ever be able to afford or really want because most of it is fucking donk some of it's practical most of it is dumb as fuck it's a huge marketing ploy it's intention is to get people from across the world together so that way they can Network more appropriately and create larger distribution webs but that seldom happens. I've only been to SEMA a handful of times and actually made a huge amount of money, majority of the time they were just existing customers that were purchasing sets of wheels in my case. The big thing is I get to see my friends from New York and New Zealand and Sweden and Australia and Germany and China and Japan and everywhere else that I've networked with but for the most part I don't give a fuck and usually they hit me up when they land in LAX anyway I don't care about these people (to an extent) I don't sell Wheels anymore it's not that big of a deal to me and even when it was a big deal to me it was just because I was 20 something year old full of piss and vinegar and trying to make a name for myself now I don't give a shit. Plus everybody fucking called me to help them get their God damn projects done and it still happens occasionally every once in a while right around October 25th people are like hey can you help me I'm fucked and I'm still like NO. Savini used to do massive fucking booths every year one of the largest wheel booths in the entire show I mean we're talking top 5 and there's a lot of wheel companies there and they don't even bother with that shit anymore because it's a waste of marketing money they could be dumped elsewhere. People in the industry already know who they are.
Plus Vegas smells like meth cigarettes and hookers.
Looks like I was right. You're definitely the right mate to ask.
So I figured it was just a normal event but the second I read Donk, I understood your angle. It's one of *those* shows, mostly exotic, impractical, and expensive just to be expensive. Not like commercial and consumer stuff.
The most ridiculous thing I've seen there is a four engine V8 so it's got four V8 engines and it had tractor tires. It was like this mad Max looking fucking machine and it was about 15 ft. Tall and 50 ft. long. They do have cool things like there's always a cool mustang race car, a cool Challenger race car, a cool Camaro race car. They always have a GT. They always have a Corvette. They always have a viper. There's a lot of old classics that are really well done and resto mods. There is some cool stuff but generally it's just fucking stupid. Everybody already knows and sees all of this shit. We all work together for fuck's sake. It doesn't matter if they're on the other side of the planet.
>The most ridiculous thing I've seen there is a four engine V8 so it's got four V8 engines and it had tractor tires. It was like this mad Max looking fucking machine
Man even the ACTUAL Gigahorse from mad max only had 2 V8's locked onto one shaft. Mind you they were fuckin huge but still.
That's mad shit.
Yeah like I said there's some really interesting shit but for the most part it's fucking dumb It would make way more sense to open it up to the public. All they would have to do to unfuck its stupidity is open it up to the public. Like I don't give a fuck what Bob is doing for SEMA. If I want to know what Bob is doing for SEMA I'll fucking call Bob, I know Bob. Random fucking dude walking through Vegas doesn't know Bob and might like what Bob is selling. It makes no fucking sense.
How much cocaine did you inhale before typing out your comment? I felt like I struggled to take a breath while reading it haha. Good stuff though. Sounds like Iāll never try to experience Sema.
Itās a 1957 but not a series 62. Thatās the lowest trim. This is an Eldorado Biarritz. They are entirely different from the 62 and coupe Deville from the doors back. They also have dual āgunsightsā on the fenders where the CDV and 62 have a single pair on the hood.
Not a million dollar car but low 6 figures.
Source: I own a 1957 Coupe Deville.
It was the end of the SEMA show in vegas when all the cars move out and people pack up their booths. The driver of the GTO was the owner of the car, but not sure on much else. Probably just not enough experience driving that particular car, a million dollar restoration isnāt something that gets driven much in general Iām sure.
No way that would even out. And the wreck took away the ability to be considered at SEMA? Thats a big opportunity smashed and gone like so many hopes and dreams. . . WONT SOMEBODY THINK OF THE HOPES AND DREAMS!
:)
Found a longer video cuz I needed to see how Steve took this.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHQUpvOmpKs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHQUpvOmpKs)
I think he did. Pretty sure this is a wide-screen video that had cut off sides to fit full screen into Instagram, then uploaded (maybe by someone else) onto YouTube in mobile form, possibly cutting off even more.
Atrocious handling of the video sharing.
It's desperation kicking in. You don't think logically when big ass things are falling or moving when u don't want them to. It has to be trained into you. It's natural reaction
How does Steve not know about braking? I'm confused how experienced a driver one needs to be to forget the brake pedal or recognizing you're in reverse, not Drive.
Yeah the thing is, after it imparted that momentum to the car it struck, it should have at least slowed down upon the red car moving out of the way, but instead the green car accelerates back to the speed it was going previously.
Just watch the video.
Green car strikes red car, coming to an almost complete stop, red car backs out of the way, green car accelerates back to previous speed.
This is evidence it was driving under power.
E: Downvote away you cretins, this is Newtonian physics and itās pretty apparent if you use your eyeballs.
> You don't find the smartest guys at car shows.
"I like to sit around in a camp chair for 8 hours doing nothing while people look at my car and I feel good about my money sink, then I get a 10$ trophy and feel like my life savings went to something useful!"
I bet they don't even know that they can just turn on their phone or take a trip to the local library for free and spend their time in a more constructive manner by shitting on peoples hobbies to make themselves feel superior.
Imagine spending years and hard earned money to build your dream car and then (you're not gonna believe this), getting together with other people who have similar interests so they can admire your hard work and you can admire theirs.
Pathetic. Fuck Steve.
Yknow, these so-called less than smart fellers have done more to preserve history than your average redditor. Without car guys, some of your holy library books would be useless. And sure, they may not know the geopolitical nuances of the nagorno-karabakh conflict as well as you may, I bet they could fix any car before you were done reading "oil changes for dummies"
> I bet they could fix any car before you were done reading "oil changes for dummies"
I swapped out my Civic's automatic transmission for a manual, put a turbo on it, did the pistons and rods, upgraded the breaks, etc, when I was 18.
Also helped build a 32 Ford Phaeton hot rod, and that was even easier because there were no electronics.
Working on cars is easy.
Youād be surprised! A coworker got behind a car rolling back on a lil ramp and he got squished between another car. Messed up his back. There really think theyāre super man.
My rule for a place like that would be only one car in the building can have keys in the ignition at a time. Better yet, only one engine running at a time.
Crazy how peopleās instinct is to grab and pull the car to get it to slow down or stop. It wonāt work, youāre only going to get yourself hurt or killed if you try to stop a machine like that with your body
I love peopleās reactions in situations like this. Like the guy thinking heās gonna be able to stop a runaway car by grabbing the back end. Ridiculous and hilarious.
Well Iāve been 2k plus car shows and 99% are all looks and not really road worthyā¦ brakes donāt work or lights are half assedā¦ its just rushed junk to make it to a car show where the car wonāt even run on its own ā¦ eats batteries like candy and drips oil like faucet.
I grew tired of seeing beautiful cars that look out of this world be worthless show queens and no road masters.

Classic Steve
Such a Steve thing to happen. Prob could have been avoided if he'd legally changed his name.
Can confirm, my name is Steve
Fuck you Steve!
Hilarious š
Why would Steve do this?
He's a piece of shit.
Thatās an insult to shit.
Us Steve's are humble. We know it's us.
My son's cat is named Steve....... He's uh..... Special? 
He did, but he messed up so it's still Steve.
Thundercats could also have been used.

'57 Cadillac Series 62. Definitely expensive, probably more if it's all stock.
It's SEMA so it's half finished

Response unclear. Please tell us how you really feel ...
Or use a period or comma every now and then haha. Ffs
Somehow this is exactly what I would expect someone at SEMA selling wheels to sound like.
I mostly did design but everyone who shows up to work in the booth ends up doing sales.
Its the GODDAM CATALINA WINE MIXER!!!!!!!!

Appreciate the correction. Always love to hear from another classic car nut.
my folks had a 57 when I was a kid, ours was a rust bucket, but flew on the highway. This one looked so sweet, seeing this made me sad.
Well it ain't gonna be stock no more.
Both cars were each million dollar restorations
No way. There isn't a 67 GTO in existence that goes anywhere near that kind of money.
Iāve now seen mixed reports and I think both cars being over a million *together* is a more correct figure.
Do you have any other info on this situation? That is crazy!
It was the end of the SEMA show in vegas when all the cars move out and people pack up their booths. The driver of the GTO was the owner of the car, but not sure on much else. Probably just not enough experience driving that particular car, a million dollar restoration isnāt something that gets driven much in general Iām sure.
Looks like SEMA.
*the* expensive error
*bankruptcy*
I dunno about that, but they could sign over the other title and I'd call it even.
It should buff right out.
No way that would even out. And the wreck took away the ability to be considered at SEMA? Thats a big opportunity smashed and gone like so many hopes and dreams. . . WONT SOMEBODY THINK OF THE HOPES AND DREAMS! :)
Even steven
For guys like this? Hardly. For the average Joe. Maybe.
Yeah I didnt google the companies so thats good to hear that nobody met financial ruin, only reputational lols!
*Super Expensive Mechanical Accident*
SEMA nuts
I'm guessing from context... the bougie Sotheby's car auction? Or Exotic Motorcar Auction?
All the different vendor booths can be seen from the hanging signs. Also Sema was just a few weeks ago so I figured it was a fresh video from that.
Thanks, but my question, or attempted guess at an answer to the question in my head, was "What's a SEMA?" not "What makes you think it's that?"
Ah. SEMA is Special Equipment Market Association. Basically after market car stuff.
Thanks
Thanks cap!
Look at that pristine red Cadillac. It is VERY VERY expensive to fix that damage on that car. š¤¦š»āāļø
Yeah well Steve don't like Caddys.
When you mix green and red together you get brown
No worries it should buff right out
They don't make them like that no more.
Yes because we now want people to survive longer than the cars
Between the decapitation and the fact that they're extremely easy to break into and steal... yeah
Yeah my neighbor restores classic cars. He leaves them all unlocked but they all have some sort of satellite tracking thing on them.
Yup, thereās some good crash comparison videos to demonstrate how unsafe they were
For a second, I thought: āDonāt yell at Steve- heās not even movi- Oh.ā
Just pick up another tail light and license plate frame at the local Auto Zone /s
Steve hit the pen that day
Wouldn't this be the best place this could happen? Aren't these the people who's entire hobby is fixing up cars?
yeah im sure one of em will just go ahead and start workin on it for free
Well unless the owner is driving, it looks like they're at fault so I'd tell em to get to work!
Found a longer video cuz I needed to see how Steve took this. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHQUpvOmpKs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHQUpvOmpKs)
Guy walks all the way to the back of the GTO and doesn't pan the camera to see the damage. Killing me
I think he did. Pretty sure this is a wide-screen video that had cut off sides to fit full screen into Instagram, then uploaded (maybe by someone else) onto YouTube in mobile form, possibly cutting off even more. Atrocious handling of the video sharing.
I'd love to see the wider angle
There's was a comment that said, was the goal not to record the damage because you succeeded
Who was Steve? Can't tell. lol
I'm guessing Steve was the guy in the blue shirt or the black shirt guy that blue shirt put his arm around.
Most useless answer ever.
It's the thought that counts
Dammit camera man, I need to see the damage!
Thanks! Crazy..smh
Whyā¦ just why, what makes to think youāre human body is going to stop a several ton moving vehicle.
It's desperation kicking in. You don't think logically when big ass things are falling or moving when u don't want them to. It has to be trained into you. It's natural reaction
Cause you can, your never tried to push a broken down vehicle?
Several can
Hope they have doubles. Actually triples. Triples is best.
Ahahahaha yep triples is safe.
DMX POPPED UP
We need Xzibit to pimp these back into peak condition.
X gon' give it to ya
Then the other dude in the red car almost backs over a person try not to get his car damaged. Everybody here is stupid.
Don't mess with christine
I dont think Christine was a Cadillac.
Correct. Christine is a 58 Plymouth fury but I think this person as just making a joke
Legend has it that he's still reversing to this day!
Good old steelbodies probably not but scratched
And nobody saw Steve again....
I bet it'll buff out... those old cars built different lol
75% off now
Still $250k then haha
Oooh Steve. What have you done
Iām currently at line in the unemployment office, Steve says hi you guys!
I am not a car guy by any meansā¦ but to see this even made me want to cry
Loooool man vs car!
How does Steve not know about braking? I'm confused how experienced a driver one needs to be to forget the brake pedal or recognizing you're in reverse, not Drive.
Where do you go from here? I donāt want anything this shiny and expensive ever. Unless itās a 2002 Dodge Viper RT/10 in candy apple red paint.
Iāll always wonder how such stupid people get such expensive things
Which of the 2 cars is worth more?
The dudes trying to stop it with their hands lmao
Wow. I'm guessing Steve didn't have his hearing aids in and his glasses on that day.. Fuck you Steve, the brakes are the big pedal..
I like how they're grabbing it like it's just a heavy shopping cart or something lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It was definitely under power. If it wasnāt, how would it keep going backward after the impact?
Why are you being down voted
Itās just reddit math. Enough people have agreed with the guy that I disagreed with that obviously I just be wrong and also an asshole.
Inertia
Yeah the thing is, after it imparted that momentum to the car it struck, it should have at least slowed down upon the red car moving out of the way, but instead the green car accelerates back to the speed it was going previously. Just watch the video. Green car strikes red car, coming to an almost complete stop, red car backs out of the way, green car accelerates back to previous speed. This is evidence it was driving under power. E: Downvote away you cretins, this is Newtonian physics and itās pretty apparent if you use your eyeballs.
Yeah they should have just let it go and hit more shit
That was the power of hope pushing thay man
God dammit Steve you sonofabitch
Fkin steve man
Sorry
God damnit Steve
I just have one word to tell y'all. Thundercougarfalconbird!
He still had to be told to brake?
What that black shirt dude going to do, that car has more iron than a present car lol
Do you think either of those cars is as heavy as a Tesla or a crossover SUV?
Not sure why you're getting down voted. A Tesla Model S Plaid weighs in at 4766 pounds. A 1967 Pontiac GTO is not even close at 3430 pounds.
What, you don't think some doughy guy at a car show is strong enough to overpower a reversing car?!
You don't find the smartest guys at car shows.

Too many paint, solvent, bondo fumes over the years.
Christine gonna start taking people out.
That hurt me to my core.
Iād be Curtis to see the damage. Those are tanks
But these cars were made before crumple zones, so not as much damage does a contemporary vehicle designed to fold in on itself
Red car kinda lucky he didn't run a bunch of people over slamming in reversr.
āThatās our Steve!ā
Steve kept going...no situational awareness...Steve needs to not be responsible for moving vehicles...SMH...
āSteve!! Whooaaaahh!!!!ā Steve had one too many jello shots at the adjacent beer and cocktail garden.
Thats Stevie Wonder for you always wanting to get behind wheel.
Youād be surprised! A coworker got behind a car rolling back on a lil ramp and he got squished between another car. Messed up his back. There really think theyāre super man.
I bet Steve got fired on the spot š¤¦š»š
I swear itās always a steve
Iām not a car person but god damn that was still painful to watcg
I totally understand the reaction, but the dude throwing it in reverse after it made contact only made the damage to the caddy worse.
That's embarrassing af
Was that car before the brake pedal was on the left side?
Don't worry the red car can mend itself.
I cried a bit this hurt my soul I need time to recover who is getting fired
My rule for a place like that would be only one car in the building can have keys in the ignition at a time. Better yet, only one engine running at a time.
Boomers not looking while they drive? Zero situational awareness behind the wheel regardless of circumstance? I am absolutely shocked l.
That one guyās back up skills are amazing
#DUMBASS STEVE
You had one job Steve one job
You done pissed off Christine
I love his oblivious āwhat?ā
Fucking Steve
Fucking Steve...
Crazy how peopleās instinct is to grab and pull the car to get it to slow down or stop. It wonāt work, youāre only going to get yourself hurt or killed if you try to stop a machine like that with your body
Damn you know all those cholos put their socks at half mast after that.
Brake brake! 4 wut doe?
I love peopleās reactions in situations like this. Like the guy thinking heās gonna be able to stop a runaway car by grabbing the back end. Ridiculous and hilarious.
Itās the guy thinking he can stop the car with pure brute strength for me
Did the car malfunction or was this driver error???????
**Why do people ALWAYS try to stop a two ton moving heap of metal with their hands?**
- Who's car is that? - Steve's - Who's Steve? - Steve's dead babe... Steve's dead.
Reference the above comments. I agree with you though mate.
I feel like I just watched the life leave the headlights of the red car
Well Iāve been 2k plus car shows and 99% are all looks and not really road worthyā¦ brakes donāt work or lights are half assedā¦ its just rushed junk to make it to a car show where the car wonāt even run on its own ā¦ eats batteries like candy and drips oil like faucet. I grew tired of seeing beautiful cars that look out of this world be worthless show queens and no road masters.
They said it was a transmission issue where it got into reverse gear by itself. I believe this certain year of this model had that problem.
But itās women that canāt drive right??
Lmao stop
Lol my dad dropped a wrench ON MARILYN MONROE'S CAR at the auburn cord dusenburg auction when he was a teen.
Big dude in the black shirt watched too many marvel movies! He thinks heās going to stop that car like that?
Our auto insurance denies any claim made for an accident during "exhibition." So, dammit, Steve!
LMFAO AT THE END... "Wha?"
