Thing at SEMA Show?

[Augie]

The SEMA Show was last week in Vegas. I was in Vegas just before it opened but was able to wander about the scene outside the convention center, where I saw a Class 5 and Class 11 VW. But looking at reports I saw a nice Thing in the background of a picture of a Bronco on display indoors that had been converted to an EV. Was wondering if anyone else saw the Thing or had some info .

One of these days, I would like to visit the SEMA show.

I'm not "in the business" so I really have no credentials to be there...
But it seems like it would be an interesting experience!

I do not have the credentials to get admission either, but the grounds of the convention center are open to the public, and I have spent hours wandering around. Not many VW's present, this year was the first time I saw some there, besides the two off-road racers there was a very nice single cab. It is a good time to go, SEMA also coincides with the NHRA race at Vegas Speedway and Phish's Halloween run.
