Dude or Dbag: The Amazing Outfits of SEMA 2025
Do you like crazy cars, day drinking, sore feet, and the smell of burning rubber? Then buckle up, my friends, because it’s the most wonderful time of year–Auto Show Season! The time of year that I bring you new vehicle launches, breaking news from automakers, but most importantly, what people are wearing at auto shows. And there’s no better place to separate the Dudes from the Dbags than the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. First of all, know this: SEMA is, in fact, a trade show.
Dude or Dbag: Tesla Cybertruck Wraps
When my nephew came to visit from Australia last month, we had a blast spotting all the Tesla Cybertrucks. Because in LA, unlike Sydney, Cybertrucks are everywhere. And because the majority of us are shameless attention seekers, there are some spectacular modifications. Luckily, for these purposes, plenty of them are bad—very bad. Let’s go, friends! Fresh from the dealer with paper plates, this Cybertruck isn’t terribly imaginative. That’s because Tesla offers factory wrapping at $6,000 a pop.
Dude Or Dbag: the Genesis Invitational
I didn’t plan on writing a Dude or Dbag about the Genesis Invitational. In fact, I wanted to write about the crossover between golf fans and car lovers. It seemed like an excellent idea; plus, there would be plenty of Genesis vehicles at the event. But early on, it became clear that I had a more significant responsibility to you guys–to fill you in on the ridiculous, the outrageous, and the downright douchy. Case in point, I stood behind this fellow at the event entrance: Verdict: Dude.
Dude or Dbag: The Weirdest Outfits of SEMA 2022
Many automotive journalists like to lament about SEMA. As one of the industry’s biggest tradeshows, SEMA can be daunting. Produced by the Specialty Equipment Market Association, the SEMA show features a million square feet of stuff like wheels, brakes, parts, and builds. Essentially the stuff to support this $44.6 billion industry. Sound like a bore?
Dude or Dbag: The Haircuts of JCCS
I want to write about the cars. I know that I should. They were so great. But how can I, in good conscience, write about the vehicles at today’s (2022 JCCS) Japanese Classics Car Show when the HAIR was this amazing: Sure, your car show may have a frohawk or two. Maybe you’ve even spotted a ‘stache, a solid one at that. But both at once? On a guy like this? No. You don’t have that, and I feel truly sorry for you. It’s a Dude move.
Dude or Dbag: The outfits of #CAS2022
Sure, Chicago in February is not the kind of balmy, relaxing getaway that most of us long for during the dog days of winter, but my visit to the 2022 Chicago Auto Show did not fail to delight and entertain. From the big, burly off-roaders, to slick, rubber-burning speed freaks, there were many sights to see. Oh, and there were cars too.
Dude Or DBag: Covid Car Buying Edition
Among the many terrible things about the current pandemic (besides the obvious) is the lack of automotive interaction. Yeah sorry but I miss driving places, seeing people and doing car things like meetups, press events, and even the car shows. It’s been a solid year since I’ve done much of that. Sigh… What I am enjoying is spending time with my family, relaxing at home, and dreaming of a day when we’re all out of this mess.
Dude or Dbag: The Outfits Of The LA Auto Show 2019
Now that we’ve all recovered from Elon Musk’s Truck Show The LA Auto Show, it’s time to turn towards the type of in-depth, investigative journalism that you’ve come to expect from Motorhead Mama. It’s time to explore the outfits. I’m not gonna lie, this year started out rough. On Day Two of the press days, I turned to a friend in defeat and announced, “Maybe there aren’t enough douches this year!” But, like all forces of nature, they soon appeared in all of their glory.
Dude Or Douchebag: LA Surfboard Transport
It’s surf season in LA. Actually, it’s always surf season in LA. More accurately, it’s currently LA’s tourist surf season– which is a delightful time to be me mainly because I love watching how people try to get a surfboard to the beach without thinking. If you’re in danger of being on those people, please follow Mama’s Simple Surfboard Transport Rules.
