My dad and I should be able to make it out there. I don't think he wants to go with my car though but i'll convince him. Hopefully nothing comes up as they always do last minute. I don't have a NICO shirt but i'll probably have something that indicates that I'm with NICO.

I do look forward to seeing many other fellow NICO members out there...

Don't forget to bring your cameras

Rex, it looks like UPS may have lost the banner. I emailed you about it. Let me know if you get or not. If not, I'll have to file a claim with UPS.

Greg, head's up on the fact we may have lost yest ANOTHER banner. If we don't hear of it's whereabouts by Monday, I'll file a claim, but I didn't insure it so the most we can get is $100.

Just a little update on the banner. Although it did not make it to FL, it appears that UPS has found it. Tracking information shows that it's last scan was in Columbia, SC (don't ask me why it's in Columbia if it was overnighted from Atlanta to Orlando). It must have gotten put on a truck instead of taken to the airport, and in the wrong direction.

..lol. NEVER ship anything UPS. they are the biggest joke in the world.

they messed up Pete's silvia fenders,they lost my bass guitar, and when they did find it, they wouldnt give it to me at the shipping center because it has to be signed for "at the delivery address", and the best part... they delivered it the next day.. to the wrong address... and they got it signed..

ill NEVER use ups again in my life.

Well I shipped it UPS because we have a daily pickup at work, and it's convienent. Also it was much cheaper because we have the highest UPS discount a business can have. But I did it mostly for the convienence factor.

We had a great turn-out for a first time car show. Don Garlits was an awesome speaker. The line to get his autograph was a mile long. Dynos for both bikes and cars and a great burnout contest. NICO was well represented. The Silvia and NICO Skyline were a great hit. Tons of awards and giveaways.

This is an annual event, so I hope not as many of you of you will make the mistake of missing this next year! SD

I HATE UPS.

I have fought with them over (get this) 10 of the last 16 shipments I have made.

They're history, I'm a FedEx customer now.

UPS SUCKS.

Well if we had a daily fedex pickup at work, I would have gone that route. But oh well. Rex, I see (according to tracking) that it was delivered today. I'm filing a claim to get reimbursed for the shipping. At least they didn't loose it.
