Meet was awesome and one hell of a time. So i guess the question now is whos setting up the next one and wheres it at? I will upload my pics as soon as i can and ill get the "birdman" videos up also.

Kyle and Josh thanks again for helping me out in the morning with getting me the injen intake. Decided to do a parking lot install after almost everyone left. I couldnt stop slowing down and speeding back up just to hear the difference that it made while i was on my long drive back up to victorville.

Great meet, and good turnout. Good seeing everyone again, and meting new people. Better weather probably would have brought more people, but we still turned up at least 50 cars! I look forward to the next meet!

Hey Blake, the meet was a blast. A big thanks to you and Doc for making this thing work. I'm back in AZ. Crappy weather the whole way back. I would have posted sooner, but I had to decompress from the drive first. I hope you guys had fun at the range. Let me know when the next one is. If I can get off from work, I'll definitely be there.

Yea buddy, the meet was a blast, and the gun range was awesome. Thanks for letting me shoot your pistol. Was interesting to see the different grouping patterns produced by the smallest of inputs to your body.

Back in Camarillo safely. Now I just have to wait on a window

+1 on the range and the meet.... no way I was letting thieves ruin my day... good meet, good eats, good stillen treats! What more can you ask for!

Alien is an excellent marksman... anytime I thought I had goodgrouping, Alien would come and just destroy me like a sniper ... Even with the flu (on flu meds all day) and no window.. I'm glad I still made it out!

I forget who won what, but there were A LOT of things to give away. I met Kyle last night on the way home and gave him the fishbowl.

Special thanks to STILLEN, Speed Force Racing, Blue Bat Mobile (Overlays), and SentientbyDesign (Grounding Kits) for giving to the raffle. I think it was a great success and everyone enjoyed being a part of it

for the question above on the next big meet....We'll see what we can set up.

Ill talk to Blake and Rob to see what we can do. between the 3 of us, we can get something even bigger than this!

But I know a lot of people dont like making a really LONG drive, so if someone in the OC or Oceanside area wouldnt mind doing some recon on a location, let us know of a good spot, and we can see about getting a permit to have a BIG show there where we may get even more sponsors to contribute.

Josh, Kyle, & the rest of the Stillen caravan, sorry it was such a pain to find. I never noticed that sign before that said E. Mission Bay when you first get off the highway. But at least I found you guys and got you there.

I dunno about anyone else but i didnt mind the drive. I had just as much fun on the drive as i did at the meet. Yeah, i didnt get a chance to punch in the address in my Nav. I just followed Kyle since i gave it to him at stillen. Oh well, atleast we still got there.

You know the only reason why the 5 of us got lost is because of that stupid bag. A trash bag hit my car and then flew off and got stuck on the front of the Stillen maxima blocking 3/4 of the grill. The 5 of us pulled over and waited and thats why we were behind everyone.

One thing that did come out good about getting lost was i got to ask Josh/Kyle about the Nissan emblem on the back of the Maxima. So where did you guys get it painted at again. I know i asked but i cant remember. If you could pass on the contact info of the shop i would appreciate it. Oh and you think i could get a windshield sticker from you guys?

I loved the drive over there.the drive back was pretty fun as well (back to OC in about 55mins :D)

I'm down for another meet, hopefully before summer so we can enjoy these gas prices one last time.

I wouldn't mind a window sticker either, it would have to be applied on the rear however, my windshield is taken

I already got a few small ones at the meet and a license plate frame. Im really liking the windshield one. Oh and what was up with passing out the 08 calandars? When i grabbed one i thought they were 09, then i took it out when i got home and seen 08.

The 08 calendars were free. The 09's were for sale. Like I was saying, it costs NICO a lot of money to make those calendars, so I had to sell them. Sorry.

We'd have no problem with any meets at any time at STILLEN's HQ.. Just let us know and we'll make it available.

There was a little hangup upon us all leaving, we basically ditched one of the guys ordering parts.. I hung back just enough to get us going, but in order to catch up, we would have had to roll Fast and the Furious style.. no bueno..

We met back up when Kyle did his expert driving into the awesome plastic bag.. decided to dress up the 09 Max.. and then proceeded to use his expert knowledge of the nav system to drive us in circles..

But we had a little side of the road mini-meet and got to bull****, and eventually got the lead in to the main party..

We had a local shop paint the emblems.. if you guys all like them, we can have a bunch done, and should be able to trim the cost down if we did a bulk run.. we were very happy with the results.. let us know..

Im glad i got that plastic bag off of my car and onto the Max. It looked better on the max anyways.

About the emblems, if you guys were to get them will it only be the Nissan emblem? Will you guys get them to paint the Altima and 3.5 SE V6 badges also and will you sell them? Regardless if its only the Nissan emblem or all of them you can guarantee that ill be one of the first to buy if this does get going.

You also ditched me cuz I was trying to feed my gf. She was hungry.

I busted fast and the furious style and caught up though.

He comes from an expert bloodline of racing car drivers.. doesn't surprise me.. I'm only surprised he didn't find a way to get it filmed..

The painter who did our emblems is local.. we would definitely be interested in those wanting to "smoke" emblems.. the only hurdle is the cost of purchasing new ones, and incurring that cost, or working out a deal to send in what you want, which to be honest is a PITA... but something we're willing to do.. let us talk about it.. and figure out which emblems are important to you guys, and let us know, so we can plan.

BlackNWhite.. so that explains that.. I'm assuming you are the white coupe with the STILLEN lip that came rolling up with us.. seemed happy for a bit and then boned out in the carpool to ditch traffic.. lol.. she came in handy at one point..
