WTF… Where’s The Fun……On the next spin of the 12volt Spin-To-Win Wheel 292 on Friday, October 11th.

CASTLE SHANNON, PA (09.17.24) – Saturday, September 14th was the day the car community gathered at the Castle Shannon Memorial Hall outside of Pittsburgh for a charity event to benefit the Castle Shannon Volunteer Fire Department. The event was filled with amazing cars, delicious food and awards plus several vendors on site and offering ticket auctions for prizes. The dunk tank was fun also and brought smiles from many.

“Saturday was a terrific day for us at Team Nutz and Fuel Required for the fundraiser. The combined activities helped raise over $6000 for the fire department. It was a great event for the car community and we gave away over 200 bags filled with giveaways, coupons, and discounts for all that entered the judging for classics at the event. We gave away over 60 auction baskets and it took us over three hours to give them all out. Connecting and growing all aspects of the car community is so important for the mobile electronics industry. Overall, it was just a great day” Ed Nuttall related.

A special thanks to all of the local businesses that donated to the Rollin’ In Hot Car Show. Local businesses are always the backbone of supporting local causes. All help raise over $6000 for the CSVFD. We recently learned that the CSVFD is self-funded and they are not funded by tax money or insurance money. In recent years, the funding opportunities were put on hold from the Covid lockdowns. Support from the car community, local businesses and neighbors are what helped keep them moving forward to protect the surrounding communities. We thank all of those who came out to the show to make this happen. The above content was a post from Fuel Required.

DIAMOND BAR, CA (09.17.24) – New research (www.sema.org/research) by the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) is shedding light on the latest trends and developments in vehicle lifecycles, and providing new insights for those who provide parts for accessorizing and modifying the U.S.’s more than 289 million vehicles.

Findings in the new SEMA Vehicle Lifecycles Report include:

• Vehicles are staying on the road longer, a continuing trend. The average U.S. vehicle age is now at 12.6 years, its highest number in over a decade. Passenger cars are now an average of 14 years old (up from 13.6), while light trucks rose slightly to 11.9, from 11.8.
• Used-car market ticks downward but remains historically high. The average listing price of a used vehicle in the U.S. is $25,251, as of July 2024. Car values have fallen faster than that of light trucks, with the sharpest decrease in overall vehicle value found in EVs (-11%).
• Stabilization of new vehicle prices offset by continued climb of interest rates.The average new vehicle price sits at $48,644, down slightly from the year prior, and halting a dramatic climb that began in the beginning of 2021. However, interest rates for new and used vehicles continue to hound buyers, remaining significantly higher than those offered in 2021-2022, regardless of loan-term length.
• Automakers are producing fewer entry-level vehicles. While new vehicle inventory in 2024 has reached a three-and-a-half-year high, small cars and other entry-level vehicles (those priced below $20,000) make up just 0.7% of the market, compared with 7% five years ago. This lack of affordability has a profound impact on younger people, who are historically more price-sensitive than older drivers.
• Two decades of increasingly dependable vehicles. Since 2003, vehicles have exhibited fewer problems, highlighting a growing reliability that is a boon to consumers. However, recent years have yielded an increase in vehicle issues tied to new technology-based automotive features, including driving assistance and infotainment systems; this trend could impact future dependability.
• The nation’s fleet of vehicles is growing. The past year saw the net addition of 3 million more vehicles to the roads, with crossovers (72.7 million) closing the gap with passenger cars (89.2 million) as the dominant segment of the entire fleet. However, compared to 10 years ago, vehicle registrations skew more heavily toward light trucks than cars.
• The specialty-equipment aftermarket continues to grow – and is expected to keep growing. Specialty equipment retail sales in 2023 surpassed $52.3 billion and are forecasted to grow to more than $57 billion by 2026.

The research also reveals trends across four categories of vehicles (Classic, Aged, Core, and Modern), highlighting age, popularity, usage, and consumer spending habits. For accessorizing, pickups and muscle cars are the top choice for enthusiasts. Meanwhile, vehicles in the Aged category are driving spending for performance products, as a way to refresh their older vehicle. Aftermarket product spending for Modern and Core vehicles was primarily (59% and 54%) on accessory and appearance products, while 43% of spending on Classic vehicles was for performance products.

BLUE SPRINGS, MO (09.12.24) – JBL rolled into AM Customs early Saturday morning, September 7th in a big way in Blue Springs MO. Anthony Vick and his team hosted an AM Customs Customer Appreciation Day.

Chris Pace rolled the Arrowhead JBL trailer into the parking lot early. Shawn Spedding followed in his decked out Toyota Tundra and Jon Kluiter-Virtual Marketing Consultants trailer in his decked out Honda SxS for the event. VCM is an area Power Sports rep firm.

Shawn Spedding, Director of Sales for JBL Mobile Audio Aftermarket Consumer Audio stated “JBL was on site to support a strong JBL dealer in the territory. The AM Customs location grabs attention from the street outside and our JBL set up with the Arrowhead JBL trailer, Jon’s Honda and my Tundra really drew a lot of attention which helped Anthony connect with consumers and drive sales..

AM Customs is approaching two years in this new location with Anthony’s team of three supplying area consumers with great mobile audio products, installation and customer service.

Vick related “JBL is a main brand in our store and we offer several categories of products, including subwoofers, speakers, amplifiers, sound processors and to put great sound in consumers vehicles. With the JBL and Infinity trailer Chris definitely dared people to listen. Jon’s Honda featured a roof speaker installation and JBL RallyBars. That installation really opened eyes for power sports enthusiasts….with marine options too. Having the three vehicles out front of our store really drew attention to our store. We thank JBL, Shawn, Chris and Jon for their support.”

Pace offered “We have had the Arrowhead JBL/Infinity on the road in the MINK states for a few years. During that time we have continued to make upgrades to showvcase JBL and Infinity products and now spotlighting the motorcycle category. A big thank you to Anthony and AM Customs. The 12volt industry really needs proactive retailers like AM Customs to connect with consumers in their marketplaces to drive in-store experiences for consumers to learn of all the aftermarket upgrades available to enhance their driving time on the road.”

A JBL Tent was all set up out front at the event that showcased products with a grill alongside for hotdogs and refreshments. Pace has a cornhole board on the trailer and many people took their turns at making tosses. Winners received JBL T-shirts.

DIAMOND BAR, CA (09.04.24) – SEMA Battle of the Builders presented by Mothers Polish, the industry’s premier vehicle competition, will feature an expanded Young Guns program this year that will provide the Top 10 finalists in the class the opportunity to experience showcasing their builds on-stage.

Prior to this year, industry experts serving as judges would determine the Top 10 and Top 3 finalists in each class, including Young Guns. Now, after the Top 10 Young Guns finalists are named, each will showcase their vehicle on-stage, and the finalists will vote to select the Top 3 builds that will advance to the final round of judging with finalists from the other Battle of the Builder categories.

“We’re continually looking for ways to support young talent and foster the future growth of the automotive aftermarket industry,” SEMA Vice President of Marketing RJ de Vera. “By expanding the Battle of the Builders competition format to provide Young Guns competitors their own on-stage judging round, we will shine a light on more of these young customizers.”

The Young Guns category, open to builders 29 years and younger at the time of the SEMA Show, was introduced in 2016 to bring national exposure to up-and-coming builders in the industry. Additionally, beginning Sept. 7-8 and continuing throughout the month, Young Guns competitors can be selected by the judges to participate in one or more virtual Golden Ticket events for the chance to win a prize package that includes transportation of their build to the SEMA Show along with travel and hotel accommodations.

Now in its 11th year, SEMA Battle of the Builders provides an international platform for SEMA Show builders to showcase their ingenuity. The competition recognizes class champions in four categories — Hot Rod & Hot Rod Truck; 4 Wheel Drive & Off-Road; Sport Compact, Import Performance, Luxury & Exotic; and Young Guns — and one of these four is crowned the overall Battle of the Builders champion.

Judges review all qualifying applications, including vehicle descriptions and photos, before walking the SEMA Show floor to review builds in-person and selecting the Top 10 finalists in each category. The finalists are then narrowed down to the Top 3 in each category, including the Top 3 Young Guns selected via the new competition format, and these 12 finalists become the judges and select the winner of each category and the overall champion.

“The automotive aftermarket will unite at the SEMA Show to showcase the hottest parts and latest technology, making it the perfect venue to highlight these amazing builds and emerging talent within the industry,” said SEMA Trade Show Director Andy Tompkins. “The Battle of the Builders program is another example of how the SEMA Show enables attendees to stay at the forefront of recent trends shaping the aftermarket and create industry connections that will set them up for future success.”
