You wanna know what's hilarious? You and I got the same exact volks from the same guy, from the same shop.

Man...serious flashbacks!!!!!!

I keep in touch with Jeff pretty frequently. He's doing pretty well selling cars for Moore Cadillac in Chantilly. Never really talked to Steve too much, he was always more of a Honda guy and the last meet we put on at Evolution, Brent and Mike and I did most of the work. I guess there wasn't much value to the meets for Evolution, or it just wasn't realized, I'm not sure.

Those sure were some damn good times though. The Viper community isn't nearly as social (or as big) as the Z crowd.


ETA: Any of you old timers remember these? Detail Day at Kelly's House

I went to one of the Evolution meets with my 03 Z. Good times, prizes, sweeet cars. I missed the detail day meet though Can we do another one?????!!!!!!

I think when the cars were more new, the meets were better because you got to see everyone's car evolve. Now that the Z has been around for 5 years, everything has gotten stagnant, people are parting out and selling. Just wait until the next Z arrives, the meets will get bigger again.

yeah, you need to get some columbia meets set up, those are the closest ones to my area and this year I should be fast enough to somewhat keep up with you guys.

It will never work. Why? because you cannot do a large weekly meet. People will only go if they have nothing better to do, however if you do 1 major meet a year, you can pull some good #s

Maybe me and bert and the supercharged g can plan a really good met this year, food and all. we'll see, at this point I just want my car done =)
