Well, here's the OFFICIAL thread! NOPI 2006 can best be summed up by Greg's motto (and I think NICO's new slogan):
GO BIG, OR GO HOME.
NOPI was, quite simply, NICOwned. Over 100 NICO cars, multiple NOPI award winning cars, a ridiculous amount of stuff both given away (over 900 posters and untold thousands of stickers\tattoos\tagging cards), and sold (t-shirts like hotcakes). Over 300 hamburgers and 200 hotdogs were grilled and consumed FREE for NICO members, local law enforcement, and other cool people. I personally had at least 15 people come up to me and say "Man, you guys sure do this stuff right."
I had to leave before the NOPI awards ceremony, and can't remember for sure who won all the NICO awards - we'll wait for Torry or Greg to post all that info up. We have an absolute crapload of pictures, but here are two pictures to whet your apetitties. Ahem.

Greg and the rest of the NICO gang are true professionals and real Nissan enthusiasts, in my book that counts a lot. What a show, the Skylines were in full effect and all of the 240SX's were top material. It was great to personally meet most of you guys/gals during both days, but there was so much to see and do that I wish NOPI was at least 4 days long.

Hopefully NSR would be able to make it down there some time.1der and Chopp did a great job with some comic relief on the megaphone and microphone. And my friend Goose, my brother, and myself all enjoyed sitting at the table and watching all the pretty womenz walk by. GOOD LORD ATLANTA HAS SOME PRETTY WOMEN WITH BIG AZZES!
We met up with my aunt in Buckhead Saturday night and she took us around the city a bit. We had dinner and I had a few drinks and we called it a night. We got 10 hours of sleep that night and opted to stay out of the sun and tour the city a bit more instead of going to the 2nd day of NOPI. We all liked Atlanta a lot and will definitely be back. My brother and I even left with the job listings from the Sunday paper.
We drove back to Indy following Wes most of the way so he'd have someone to help him drive. I'd say it was an awsome time! I feel sorry for anybody that missed it!

"Inducted into Teckademics"
Not to stick my weenie in anyone's cheerios, but at least for awhile, my cat could've gotten "inducted" into Teckademics. They may have changed their policies though.
The core crew is mostly from around here (cept Vader), and they're all very cool, but they have some obnoxious fans.

Beats me. Just presenting an alternate viewpoint.
He sure sounds like an asshat, but setting up a display at NOPI doesn't require him to be polite. You approached him, remember.
Post Title:
Posted by: SeVa-S13 at 10:06 AM 9/23/2006
No one's ever required to be polite, but he's obviously quite proud of himself and his car (attention whore) so I still say he's an asshat if he sets up like that and is an unreasonable dick to people trying to talk to him about his car.

I'm workign to get my vert nico tent ready for next year....It will be clean and polished, no custom bug effect this time.... Unless it spells out Nico.... |

When he first pulled in, I tried to get him to park with us but he gave me the same attitude about a "feature car" and drove away. Then he couldn't figure out where to go. 
Bottom line is that he is an asshat.

I drove my dad's s13, which is immaculate and bone stock. Mine is about 95% hooked up with a redtop SR. Have you seen the five lug conversion pics and such? It now wears s14 SE wheels on nice, smooth, new hubs and bearings.
The ol' single slammer is going to live on in a 510 that my brother, Simmsled, is going to commence to working on.

Yes, he does owe everyone something, and that is plain common courtesy.

Wrong. He doesn't owe you anything. If he registered with NICO, or parked in your section, then sure, you could expect more of him.
Oh, and common courtesy doesn't involve answering every question or comment from some fanboy.
Yes, fanboy. I think that's a fair label for these people. You want to make this a "user insulting the staff" thing? Well go ahead then, edit or delete my posts, we all know how you like to do that. I wasn't going to reply again, that last sentence of yours irritated me a bit, though.

"These people?" Who exactly are "these people", Xyster? The ones that run the site you're at? I don't care if you dislike me or talk sh*t about me, but at least shove it when you're talking about people like Dan and Repo who haven't done anything to you, and put in a lot of hours to run the very site you're on. All you're doing is showing exactly why you told me "I don't go to NICO meets anymore" - you've managed to alienate everyone that goes to them.
Edit: The only reason I've ever deleted someone's post here is if they violate the terms of conduct. Funny. You'd almost think that's what the Staff is here for.

Xyster, you're wrong! If you go to a CAR SHOW and are a dick every time someone compliments you, that's BS. If you drive every "fanboys" dream car, you should expect every "fanboy" to ask questions or give compliments, and your use of the word "fanboy" is complete proof you're a jerk. "Fanboy" how GHEY.
Guys like the Skyline owner are summed up best by the words spoken by "Gunnery SGT. Hartman" in the movie "full metal jacket" "It looks to me like the best part of you ran down the crack of your mama's a$$ and ended up as a brown stain on the mattress! I think you've been cheated!"

Then again, some people come to events to show off their car and collect nutswingers.
For the rest of us, the cars are incidental - We're there to spend time with friends and make new ones.
Any wanker can spend six figures to BUY a car - I'd rather talk to someone who BUILT theirs.

Nope, xyster is right. I'm a fanboy. At least spell it right brozef. It's fanboi. Anyone that knows me knows that I am the trendiest basturd that ever lived. I jump on all the bandwagons I can and have no allegiance or loyalty to anyone or anything. I'm like a fart in the wind, I just drift to whatever happens to be cool at the time because I cannot think for myself. Hell, I've even got an SR in my 240 so I am now a certified fanboi. The only thing I ask is that you come tell me to my face sometime. We'll discuss the matter.
