| To
brighten up the holiday season
and Erod’s car we present the
stunning Samantha Dawn.
Samantha’s stunning beauty and
awesome smile will make you
immediately click on her gauge
girl layout to get a closer
look. After reading the layout
you will notice she is into
cars and car shows. Don’t get
your hopes up guys! She in not
married, but definitely taken.
In
the Mini Truck Scene
it is becoming harder and harder
to stand out in the crowd.
If you want to really make an
impact you have to step outside
the circle and build a truck
that is more unique than anyone
else. This reason is exactly
why Richard Thompson
built his super sexy 1992 Ford
Ranger. Staff photographer
Smalls could not resist the
opportunity to shoot this (Red
Ranger). Make sure to check
it out.
This
month Staff Photographer Brad
Walker had the pleasure of meeting
up with Brandon Perry
and his 1996 Toyota Mini.
Brandon is the type of enthusiasts
that not only has the foresight
on how a mini should look, he
also has the talent. Brandon
spent countless hours in the
garage working on this top notch
mini doing most of the work
himself.
To start off show coverage this month we have the annual SEMA
convention in Las Vegas, NV.
Since the start of Gauge back
in 1999 our staff has covered
this event. It is amazing to
see how the show grows larger
and larger each year. This year
Staff Photographer, Toby Mosholder
took on almost the entire show
himself. From day one of the
show, his priority was to bring
back the best SEMA coverage
on the web.
Just
like in years past; we have
separated this enormous show
coverage up into several sections
to make the coverage easier
to navigate:
SEMA
Show Coverage (everything
from mild to wild)

The
Hotties of SEMA
(the most beautiful ladies of
the SEMA Show)

Celebrities
of SEMA (SEMA
has become a social magnet for
Celeberties)

Along
with the SEMA show comes some
of the hottest after parties
to hit Las Vegas. Annually we
have had the pleasure of hooking
up with our friends at Kicker
Car Audio to cover the extraordinary
Big Air Bash. For 2006,
Kicker added a wake board freestyle
pool featuring the best wake
boarders in the business. These
professional water athletes
were the perfect blend to the
flying Motorcycles riders jumping
high above the Hard Rock Hotel
and Casino. Make sure to check
out this coverage; it is a for
sure not to miss. You can also
stay up to date on the 2007
Big Air Bash by visiting www.kicker.com
For
the past few years now another
large post SEMA activity has
been the Friday Night
After SEMA Car Show.
If you are one of the lucky
ones to get out of the show
on time, you need to bring your
vehicle down to the Hard Rock
Hotel and Casino. The event
is open to all years and makes
and is produced by Dustin Warren
and Brooke Tobias they are two
of the biggest car show promoters
in the Vegas Area.
Relaxed
Atmosphere is
a prime candidate for one
of the most successful club
shows in the country.
The Car Club hosted shows are
becoming more and more popular
these days. This past September
Staff Photographer Brad Walker
had the pleasure of spending
the day with the guys over at
RA. Just one look at the photos
and you can tell he had a blast.
For info on next years event
stay tuned to http://www.relaxed-atmosphere.com
Now,
when it comes to another way
to use your truck, the guys
over at Fletcher Fire Department
take it to the limit. Each
year the Fletcher Fire Department
holds their annual Mud Bog.
If you have never attended a
mud bog yourself; it is something
you have to do and soon! Staff
Photographer Toby Mosholder
spent the entire night with
mud flying all over him and
his camera. Just take one look
at this coverage and you will
see how much fun you can have
in the mud. Get your truck and
boots ready for next year and
contact Clay Caven by e-mail
at claycaven@hotmail.com
So
this wraps up 2006… Thank you
again for a wonderful year.
We will see you in 07.
