Last week Brian Fox told me that Michelin wouldn’t be at SEMA this year. I immediately called Michelin PR, left some voicemails with a few folks over there, and… they didn’t call me back. Well, Brian was right. No Michelin. Here’s a photo of John with the Michelin man last year. Now, having to tell John that the Michelin man won’t be here is like having to break it to a little kid that there is no such thing as Santa Claus. It also sucks cause the Michelin booth always has good food. There are a few other big no shows this year. No HKS. I haven’t seen BFG, either. I guess it’s no surprise that some companies don’t want to spend money right now.

Michelin always has one of the SEMA’s most awesome displays, and this year is no exception. They’ve got a couple of awesome Corvettes, Le Mans racers from Porsche and Audi, and a couple of R8s. But I have to admit, when I saw you could get a shot with the Michelin Man, I was totally losing it. He looks even better in person! Now I know there are plenty of gorgeous models here to get a photo with, but this was the only one I really cared about. I know, I’m a goofball. We’re about to head over to a little cocktail party over there, so look for great shots of their entire collection in the blog tomorrow.
