    You're right Ray, we never would have forgiven you if you didn't deliver on the car year/make/model and mileage. It would have been unforgivable.

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dave George says:

    Trade shows suck when your must set and break down the merch..

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Liny says:

    As one that lives in the area, we know grass, we are trying to get rid of it, takes way too much water.

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mos8541 says:

    NO NO grass, jesus we dont have enough WATER as it is, NO LAWNS NO LAWNS.. hows that? too much?… SFMF

    Sorry mate – boring.

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Orphan M8kER says:

    He in vegas with a silver case that screams full of money. Them poor casinos going be so nice think they got a whale on the hook lol.

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chuck WA7JOS says:

    No grass because there's no WATER. What you got from Ian is 4 YEARS worth in LV.

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tim Davis says:

    Rainman and Ford Boss. DEFINITELY needed a chaperone with you 2. Should have got Eric O to watch you guys…lol. Take care and glad you're enjoying SEMA.

    Learn to pronounce
    US
    verb
    gerund or present participle: xeriscaping
    landscape (an area) in a style which requires little or no irrigation.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Marty's 4x4 says:

    They've been making people remove unnecessary grass due to the drying up of Lake Mead. 🙂

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars RoyalBlueRanger says:

    Ray they are in the worst drought that they have ever had out there. Never mind it is a desert. But they have actually been paying people to get rid of grass and other water hungry plants and to go with a more natural desert landscaping. It's a very sensitive subject for many. So trying to import grass in to Vegas would be similar to trying to import a hurricane in to Florida.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Will Cope says:

    'I will trade them some of our grass for some of their rocks, because we have no rocks at home' 😂Florida man always out there looking for a deal👍

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris McKenna says:

    You guys just squatting in someone’s house?

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars sjlarue1 says:

    Did you see the Golden Nugget? 😁

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Do Tar says:

    If you video someone videoing you and then both post to YouTube I'm pretty sure that can cause a feedback loop and open a fissure in time/space. 😱

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars asopw-_-uwu says:

    Lived there for 20 years. Now in New Orleans. Have no desire to go back. (Unless for CES)

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dave Aver says:

    Head to Valley of Fire. Worth the short trip NE.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Elite Wolf says:

    Hated my s10.. was a 2002, but it gutless.. great on gas bad on style..

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Twizzl Twizzl says:

    For those of you planning to come next year: there is no where to park, so get dropped off, bring backpack with water and snacks, rent a mobility scooter thet have them there for rentals, the property itself is almost 2 miles end to end.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Doug Parker-Barnes says:

    Must have miles 🤣 Nice updates Ray looks like lots of fun

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Fanta says:

    you know you're officially an old man when you make grunting noises getting in and out of cars.

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Frank Wilson says:

    What happens in Vegas…..determines whether loving arms or a glock meets you when you get home.

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Redacted Logic says:

    'Strange land" had me cracking up. Living in the land of forever green and go to never green is a shock to the senses, it was for me the first time. Yes that building and activity in at a show is mind blowing. G2E is the largest Gaming industry trade show in the world. My company has a booth there every year.

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Todd Adams says:

    An S10 with a wing, really. This AINT the NASCAR truck series!

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dan McCann says:

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ross G says:

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Silent Woodfire says:

    I'm kinda curious if he will wander about and run into the other youtubers I know are there

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Edgar Prothero says:

    Hey there Ray! Will you please do me a favor and just simply confirm you received my gift. It wasn't overly expensive and I don't want anything in return, just to know you got it. I wanted you to have something you could use when listening to music on your phone. The video you made while working in your trailer and listening gave me the idea. You have to test that thing out with a "poppin" tune – Richard Elliot – Rock Steady. You'll understand why I suggested this. Your friend and fan forever Ed Prothero

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars major Spoosh says:

    Ray your combo is. 1. 2. 3. 4.5.6 LOL now I know your reading this and hearing space balls dark Helmet's voice lol..

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Big Al says:

    That's where I've gone to several conferences. Well every other year for 40 years and we had vendors setup in that building on many of those

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Big Al says:

    Thanks Ray

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars M Honeycutt says:

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Leetshifter says:

    Vegas got rid of a lot of their grass as a way to conserve water, it used to be grass.

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars molskimauler says:

    Be there on the last day. The parade when all the cars leave is jaw dropping.

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sam Eftek says:

    Pickup truck 🎉🎉🎉👌🏼👌🏼

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sam Eftek says:

    James Bond suit case. Me like it

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars blackwolf8281 says:

    Have fun at the show Ray.. And.. as always have a great time!!😎

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars C.J. 2 Dog's says:

    Is that a series 1 RX-7 I see?

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matt C. says:

    See Ray, you have one thing at home that they don't have….. water. That has to be a trip walking the show floor. I've been to the big A.V. and production shows. Mind blowing. SEMA…An automotive wonderland.

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Vaticider69 says:

    NISSAN What in the hell is even that…

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars J M says:

    I am ultra triggered he didn’t give us the oil life it could be at 0% OMG😢

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars The Silenced says:

    There's a group of kids from my home town high school at SEMA right now, competing in some kind of hot rod take-things-apart-and-put-them-back-together competition. Go team!

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mr. DirtySouthDog says:

    In Louisiana we just let the rain water the grass

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Zepplin76 says:

    I need "reusing cotter pins hurts my soul" as a sticker also. My z400 needs it. I have words of wisdom in my cart.

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Honey Tone says:

    Hey, Ray – Nevada, Arizona and Southern California will trade you all all the rocks you want for all the water you can spare!

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars silvad702 says:

    Lake Mead is slowly draining so California can water their farms and at the same time they fine us for watering our lawns…

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mark Rhoades says:

    You could buy my brothers 96 S10. Pro streeter w/a massive turbocharged 6L

  50. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard Smith says:

    Hey Ray… They are running out of water. Haven't you been watching the Lake Mead videos? That's why they are removing the grass.

  51. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars S C says:

    Once you get your new endeavor settled, and can take some time to really unwind, get back there and do Vegas PROPER!!

    Stay on the strip, take in all the excess, all the larger than life Casino resorts. Be part of the human Zoo that is Fremont Street!! Do a night time helicopter ride over Vegas and be awestruck how much glitz and lights were able to rise from a desert floor thanks to a depression era dam.

    Do the outdoors!! Desert ATV;s, kayaking on the Colorado river, Grand Canyon, drive through Red Rock Canyon!

    Vegas is an amazing place, its not just where people go to lose money gambling, it is so much more.

  52. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matt Allen says:

    Have to agree that had everything going for it and I need one

  53. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Philip Brucker says:

    Whilst I don't live in Vegas, the frigidity of the air isn't normal. Right now today suburban Chicago is warmer. It's still jorts and t-shirts weather.

  54. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Julia&Cary says:

    When I saw that Ray was driving a Nissan, I thought wow, I didn’t know things have gotten that bad, then realized it was a rental, so I feel better for you now.

  55. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ronny Dowdy says:

    Florida very wet. Nevada very dry most of the time.

  56. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jerry Moore says:

    Lake Meade needs some of that water you got a few weeks ago.

  57. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Frizzle Fry says:

    Rental car clicks?

  58. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars DS TRUCKS says:

    What's it like hanging with the FORD BOSS!

  59. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jack Martin says:

    Go go go Ray! 🎉

  60. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars C. Hunt says:

    Grass? There's no water in the desert. The grass has been deliberately removed.

  61. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Atomic Force Gaming says:

    Oh they discovered grass Ray , They also discovered how much it costs to water said grass in a desert envrionment where a water bill can exceed 300$ hence the beautiful gravel everywhere except golf courses and resorts. 😛

  62. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ian Nicol says:

    They got no water for grass Ray!🤣

  63. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lewis Obee says:

    Why a Nissan of all cars … why not a Ford or a dodge ram or a Chevrolet…. God dam it 😂😂

  64. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Carrie Brumley says:

    Yeah thanks for taking us along with you on your journey and for the updates just keep having fun man

  65. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ted Lahm says:

    Something about a shortage of water, inhibit grass growing.

  66. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Robey says:

    Your grass needs water and that is something they dont have here. You see all that rock because they cant afford to water the grass.

  67. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars lynn_phoenix says:

    FYI. They don't have grass on purpose for water conservation/drought. Removal of decorative grass is required by law by 2027

  68. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Miles Monroe says:

    Imagine a video – Ray, Kilmer, Eric O, Eric Car Guy all walking around this exhibition. Mother lover !

  69. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeremy Kettelhohn says:

  73. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matt Fissell says:

    Heck yeah, get the DirtyMax a giant spoiler! It will help with that old gas mile challenge.

  74. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Scott Coe says:

    SHOT Show is the same, except everything firearms! 🤠👍🇺🇸

  75. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Downtown Indy says:

    Wow, they put up guests in homes?

  76. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Red Rider7 says:

    Sorry Ray, grass or lawn and 1040 degrees for the average summer daytime temperature doesn't go together! : )

  77. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rudolf Jacobs says:

    👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

  78. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Willemsen says:

    They do have grass, but they smoke it😂

  79. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars luthervanguard says:

    not enough water for grass here

  80. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stephen B says:

    Beats Pheonix AZ with their lawn sprinklers that alter the weather.

  81. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Crash Weekly says:

    OMG, I feel like a junkie who just got his fix…. reading the mileage on that car made my day, almost feels normal.

  82. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lawrence Litterini says:

    So nice of your job to give you the time off to enjoy SEMA ….
    The old saying go's When life gives you lemons you make lemonade 🇺🇸ENJOY YOURSELF BROTHER

  83. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ryan Roberts says:

    The combination is "P-R-Y-B-A-R"

  84. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Abdulhkeem Alhadhrami says:

    Loving this series!

  85. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert B says:

    I know. Watching OP live Nevada is nothing but sand and dirt

  86. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert B says:

    Maxima nice

  87. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gusser says:

    cold in Las Vegas? OK… As for grass, that's a luxury for people who have lots of water…

  88. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bas Bass says:

    lol, grass in the desert might not work

  89. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jim Cochran says:

    Check out the Golden Nugget at the show…stop and see Robbie Layton, Fab Rats , and Matt's Towing ..

  90. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars clbcl5 says:

    You are correct, you would suffer unmentionable torment, unrecognizable haunting from your subs if you did not give us a mileage on the rental.

  91. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daniel Albertson says:

    Making money is an action. Keeping money is behavior. Growing money is knowledge..

  92. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Eldon Howard says:

    They are out of water for the grass.

  93. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Eldon Howard says:

    I lived in Law Vegas back in 86-88.

  94. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Granite American says:

    that neighborhood looks exactly like a friend of mines in Colorado springs.

  95. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars terry woganator says:

    briefcase clicks 😂

  96. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Doug Dingus says:

    Shorter is better. I have done trade shows before, and snippets are the best! Buy a battery pack and keep it with you.

    If you can get battery cases, or backs, for your phone, charge a couple up and keep them ready. They work almost as good as removable batteries used to be.

    Then yeah, shoot a little, quick edit, post, wash, rinse, repeat, done!

    Have fun.

  97. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mark says:

    let me guess, your breficase pass code is 1,2,3,4,5 ?

  98. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Allen Ramirez says:

    Are they asking you guys to show proof of vaccination? As teamsters they wanted us to show proof in order to be able to work during show hours, I never worked show duty cuz of it.
