Jim’s Blog: Sights of SEMA 2018
With over a million square feet of automotive parts and accessories to see, SEMA is not something you can really do in a day and a half.

Jim’s Blog: When Will Ford Trucks Have Their Day?
Classic trucks, specifically half-tons built between 1967 and 1972, are still hot in today’s market. But it seems that not all trucks were created equal.
The run-up in prices over the last five years has in large part been due to the popularity of GM’s truck twins in the aftermarket.
