Bernie's Car Show Coverage: 2015 Stuntfest Car Show

For the first time in a few years, the Stuntfest Car Show had some gorgeous weather. Come rain or shine, this car show has proven that nothing can slow down or completey stop this show. There were old schools and new schools, there were hardtops and convertibles, there were vehicles on Asantis, Forgiatos, Lexanis, Savinis, Dubs, and Amanis, there were wrapped vehicles and candy painted vehicles, and of course there were plenty of vehicles that provided plenty of live entertainment.

No matter what, I can always count on the Stuntworld guys to plan a great show. I have no complaints, except for the traffic situation getting into the show.

Bernie's Car Show Coverage: 2014 SEMA Show- Day 1

The most photographed car at SEMA, the Liberty Walk Lamborghini Aventador.

On November 4th - November 7th 2014, car enthusiasts from all over the world gathered in Las Vegas, NV for the SEMA Show.  This year was my fifth time attending SEMA, and like every year, I was like a little kid on Christmas Day. I always say this, but what I love most about SEMA is that I get to go to a fabulous city with fabulous weather, get to meet people from all over the world while photographing some seriously customized cars.

I think this Lexus RC-F from Vossen Wheels is gorgeous

I landed in Vegas on the same day as Day 1, which explains why there's so few photos in the gallery. Normally on Day 1, I get started in the morning, but by the time I landed, checked into the hotel, arrived at the convention center and received my media pass, it was 3:00. So enjoy my first day and my remaining days will have way more photos.

RDB of Los Angeles brought this chrome red Mercedes SLR on gold Forgiato Wheels.

TS Designs strikes again!!! This time Topo customized a widebody Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray, but wrapped it in gold chrome.

Liberty Walk brought a lot of goodies, including the kiddie version of the Lamborghini Aventador, and we can't forget...

The fun-loving Wataru Kato, president of Liberty Walk Performance.

Another attraction- this Hummer H2 on 34 inch Forgiato Wheels.

This Jeep was kinda cute.

Lowrider had a 2014 Chevy Impala in their booth but it was painted like a Lowrider. The paint job looked great.

The pressure of wrapping a Rolls Royce Ghost in front of people without messing up.

Hot Wheels had a fun display. Along with the models above, they also brought..

A Darth Vader Car and...

A Hot Wheels Twin Mill. The twins that they're referring to in this vehicle are the dual Chevy 502 Big Block engines with two B&M Blowers.

The detail in this lowrider...

A 1966 Chevy Impala provided by Lowrider Magazine.

This lowered Lexus GS looks good.

But not as good as this matte blue Ford Shelby.

Yes, I used this chrome wrapped Chevy Camaro as a mirror. It served it's purpose well.

Widebody Mercedes Benz Coupe.

But there's nothing like a 2015 Ford Mustang.

RDB in Los Angeles also brought this Rolls Royce ghost on Forgiato wheels. Not a fan of the orange color.

Forgiato also had a matte black Lamborghini Aventador parked outside.

Another view of the most talked about car at SEMA.

While in the Savini Forged Wheels booth, I spotted this BMW M4 that has the Liberty Walk body kit with a wrap from Impressive Wrap. Also in the booth...

Savini showcased a Lamborghini Huracan.

Bernie's Cargram Feed: February 8-9th

I decided to do another Instagram Feed, where I share my favorite photos (well, the automotive related ones) of the ones that I follow from a particular day. Well, this time I decided to compile the best photos from this weekend that just ended.

To kick things off, I decided to include a photo that was taken the previous weekend at Atlanta's Caffeine and Octane. Now, I'm not a person who poses in photos, and you can see that with my Instagram page (@CarShowBernie).

And I decided to pose, thanks to @teamlmp.

Adventus Forged Wheels (@adventusforged) posted a photo of a Lexus IS wearing their AVS-2 Wheels. The bottom of the pic has their AVS line.

One of my favorite customized cars, this matte blue Mercedes Benz CLS that belongs to one of the Swift Car Club members (@swiftrazo). This photo was done at a photo shoot in downtown Los Angeles, and have I mentioned that I want this car. Like I really want it.



Everyone's favorite divorce lawyer from Long Island, NY and his very interesting girlfriend (@teamsalamone) are celebrating their 6th anniversary and posted this flipogram highlight their love for each other... and also Lamborghinis.

Oh and yes, there is an uncensored version.

Vossen Wheels (@vossen) had a presense at the Tag Motorsports event. One of the cars out there was an Audi A5 wearing Vossen's CV7 wheels. 

Savini Forged Wheels (@SaviniWheels) also was at the Tag Motorsports event, and they brought this Rolls Royce Ghost.

Branded Customs (@BrandedCustoms) from Dallas, TX released a photo of a blacked out Chevy Camaro that they've done. Looking good...

Topo of TS Designs (@wide_body_king) released another picture of one of his most successful projects. Remember how TS Designs, JC Kustomz, and Forgiato created the widebodied Corvette Stingray??? Well, now aside from the hardtop, you can get the same widebodied goodness in a convertible. If it ain't broke, don't fix it...

MC Customs (@MCCustomsMiami) posted this behind the scenes shot of two cars- one's wearing Savini Wheels, the other is wearing Vossen Wheels. Side note: I'm extremely happy that the photographer is shooting with a Canon.

Forgiato Wheels (@forgiato) reposted this photo from MC Customs of this Mercedes Benz S550 wearing their wheels.

Exclusive Motoring (@exclusivemotoring) posted this shot of a Mercedes Benz G550 customized with painted black exterior trim grilles and badges smoked lights and color matched Forgiato wheels.

Diamond Black Exteriors (@diamondblackexteriors) celebrated a birthday (a fellow Aquarius) and his mother-in-law made this gorgeous cake.

Asanti Wheels (@asantiwheels) released a rendering of a Lamborghini Aventador sitting on the Asanti 805 wheels.

Aimee Shackelford (@petrolgirl) posted a college from Ferrari Day hosted by Petersen's Automotive Museum. California is the perfect place to have a Ferrari Day.

Dub Magazine (@DubMagazine) is kicking off their second tour stop of 2014 at the Philadelphia Auto Show.

Butler Tire (@ButlerTire) released this photo of a Porsche Panamera S wearing Forgiato Wheels.

Onyx Concept Vehicles (@onyxconcept) asked their followers if matte black is timeless or if it's a fad. I think it looks great... when done correctly. I've seen some horrid matte paint jobs.

To round out the weekend recap, The Auto Firm (@theautofirm) released a photo of a complete brush titanium wrapped Maybach with all gloss black trimmings sitting on the first set of 24 inch new Avorza AV10 Wheels.
