Ever heard of SEMA Show? Huge card convention. Just massive place. 1 million square feet of cars, turbos, wheels, superchargers, models, future teaser and concept cards.

When I got back the first year I wanted to see more. But there were no sites with more than half a dozen pictures.

So the next year I took hundreds of pictures, built a website called SEMA Gallery, and outranked a multi-hundred-million-dollar convention show for nearly all their branded terms.

And I stayed at the top for years.

Theeeen… I got a cease and desist from them.

I looked up the attorney who called me.

He was very polite, and I look back now, and I think he must have just been laughing at
me because I was like, “Oh, that’s not my site. That’s one of my client’s site. I’ll talk to him.”

And he’s probably like, “Okay, kid.”

I look up his name on LinkedIn, and he’s like a former FTC attorney.

I’m like, okay, “I’ll shut that down.”

But what a fun site it was while it lasted.
