That's all for right now... I'll post more later. If anyone wants original versions of anything (or ask me if I have more shots of their car, etc), shoot me an email or a pm. Chances are I'll have something. The album is located here: http://s126.photobucket.com/albums/p82/ ... le%202010/

white 350z guy gets a lot of picture coverage cos um... homeboy had some skills (and some balls)!!!

You can kinda tell the angle of the dangle (and G forces) he's got going on by the little orange cone he has hanging from his rearview mirror. :chuckle:

Came across this http://zilvia.net/f/off-topic-chat/3215 ... issed.html and saw you guys in there. That looks like it was the absolute worst car meet to have EVER taken place anywhere. I didn't think so much rice could live within driving radius of anything.

The great part is this:

None of us even went to the "show" area. It's almost a separate event. The cheesy-a$$ ricer junk all stays to one side of the fairgrounds, and we do motorsports stuff on our side.

The PA car scene is about 12 years behind the times when it comes to style.

I did not miss any of that. I saw everything I wanted to, mainly the track and quite a few pints of beer.

They actually got me in one of their photos. Too bad they missed the Zilvia Sucks tshirt. :chuckle:

My favorite part of it was that this guy that made the thread making fun of everyone has a BMW with a GTR motor in it, but all he did was hard park it. I never saw him at the track... You cant talk junk if you do the same thing.

Even funnier was the fact that the two dudes from Zilvia that DID show up didn't even attempt to track their cars.

Both APPEARED to be set up for track use, both had a sufficient application of "drift team fanboi vinyl", but they both "hard-parked" all weekend. :poke:

However, I'll say this: I spoke to both guys and they seemed to be cool. Think I served up a hamburger or two to them.

I thought the RB BMW looked pretty good, but now I can see how much of a douchebage the owner really is. What a shame that nice cars are wasted on this streetracer tool.

YOU OWN A DAMN LOTUS AND YOU DIDN'T SO MUCH AS LOOK AT THE TRACK. YOU FAIL SIR. GOOD DAY.

Great idea: Let's make fun of all the stupid s*** in the world while we hard park our trailer queens! Excellent!

At least these people had the guts to show their cars, and the NICO members had the balls to track theirs. It's not the locals fault they live disconnected from the rest of the scene...

Think that's all I'm gonna upload unless someone has any special request. I have a TON more of the suislide car, and chances are a few more of just about every car posted. If you don't see your car in there and want to know if I got any pics of it, just shoot me an email or PM with the description of the car, and I'll see if I have it.

Who is Brian Lohnes? I hope he actually comprehends that NONE of the cars in the "show" area were our people.

p.s. What if "that guy" is me? I'm easy to find.

p.s. Someone needs to post a link to this thread in response. :) It's notable that we were actually tracking our cars, while no one from the forum he link to would get on the track.

They DID have a little "purse dog" on a leash and some bitchin' lawn chairs. :rotfl

The real question is what does Mr. Lohnes drives? Is Mr. Lohnes the same punk who was too scared to participate at the track and decided to spend the day with ricers, then trying to badmouth NICO on "that other forum"?

*Sings* "cause the spotlight ain't nothing without you gerrl..." lol. I have a feeling there'll be more talks/discussion/bashing between NICO and "that other forum", so even more spotlight for you.

No, Brian Lohnes appears to just be a blogger who found the zilvia page humorous. Though, that doesn't explain why he didn't find the turtle idea as excellent as we all did. So no need to take shots at that guy. He doesn't appear to have any affiliation with zilvia, so he's probably ok. Maybe I'll register on that site and post a comment in a bit...

Yea, i read the entire article later and found out. And really who cares what he thought of the turtle idea? NICO found it funny/amusing and that's all that matters.
