ok cool. Just to let you know when you reg. your car you get two passes one is for you and the other who ever. Just because you have a big team does not allow you to be in the front. Some times its already done where you are going to park. HIN is not for sure yet, they have changed the date twice now and when they change it about the third time it more then likely will be canceled. as of right now it is still TBA.

Thought about showing the Skyline, but I think I'm gonna wait until HIN as well..
My car basically sitting in the middle of a concert doesn't give me a warm fuzzy...
Also more time for much needed grooming..

I never really planned on doing shows w/this car, but I'm very close to deciding to actually enter GICS this weekend. Reason is that I'll be in the booth of a certain local shop, so they'll be covering the costs and can watch my car so I don't even have to stay at the show all damn day. I'm kinda having a hard time thinking of a good reason not to at this point...

What do you guys think?

I'd skip bro, its gonna be so crowded and it's in Tacoma. I don't trust this show after hearing several cars got vandalized last year. Not worth the risks.

It was not several cars only two cars were damaged they were not vandalized. I went last year and was near the fight. If I did not trust it I would not be going back this year. Since everyone knows how much money is in my car. Is anyone at least coming?

Damn...they need a decision asap. I can't f'ing decide...

Wanted to slam my car at the show, but may not be able to get the coilovers installed in time. I'm also really not looking forward to the full day of detailing it would take since my car is filthy. I spent 7hrs detailing my Max for the 1st show, and that was very clean for a daily driver.

Ended up going for a little bit. Good meeting you, Batman. Show was tiny. I could've totally done a half-*** detail, and probably placed. There was a G with fugly billet grilles, lambo doors, cheapass Zenetti dubs, and air suspension. Woohoo! Then there was this S14 with nothing but some wheels, which happen to be the same cheapo ones I run for AutoX. Wow! Also a yellow Z that was almost stock. As you can tell I was really disappointed in that show.

Sounds like cars were worse than a used car lot...I guess it was wise decision to not go to this event.... We will just go to Cruzin Auto Sales next time. Its free...

Definitely a few really nice cars, like the old school lime green Challenger with a new 6.1 Hemi transplant. Also a crazy white FC3S with the 3-rotor and a Cummins diesel turbo. Drift Office & JDM Office had some great examples though (the booth I would've been in).

Overall, not worth the $25 + $10 parking I paid. Best part of the night was smashing to/from the show. Got some great in-car footage between my S/C G, Supra TT, and a monster turbo'd AE86 though...
