Well, after 6 hours of rest we had to get up and get back on our way home to good old Atlanta!
Jordan struggling to pack up his belongings
Our sweet view of the highway from our room lol
Had another IHOP breakfast. It was fast, close, and convenient! Plus we had our cars right outside our window! This is because the IHOP Is connected to our hotel. Apparently a lot of people that attended HIN stayed at our hotel because we had nowhere to park near our room the night of the show.
We were both beat and tired!
I actually fell asleep again while waiting for the food
Jordan practiced on his IQ Test
Left with three = you are a dummy
Some sky writing was going on outside “LOVE GOD“ is what it ended up saying!
We drove across the street after breakfast and filled up our gas tanks for the return trip. One of their service stations was out of order so we asked permission to use it to tape up the cars. After about an hour of work we were on the road again!
Passed the Bridgestone truck that was at the show

Sweet home Georgia!
I am still amazed at the gas mileage I am getting for this trip! All highway 70 mph and cruise control. This picture was taken while getting on the off ramp = 40 mph
We stopped at a Subway for Lunch/Dinner in Perry, GA

Our quick tape jobs weren’t holding up too well, but they were doing their jobs
Yeah, my Avic D3 stopped working after I got the flat tire yesterday. I devised another audio system for temporary use!
Plugged my laptop up to the inverter and ipod into the laptop!
Random sky shot
More rollin pics, notice my driver’s side rear! 18” American Racing Casinos FTW!!! Almost looks like I have slicks!

After leaving the convention hall, I started to feel the car getting really bumpy. All I can say is Mark, I feel your pain! Ron! We definitely need those tires asap now! Thank goodness I brought a spare with me. However my trunk set up required a wrench to take off the nitrous lines. I didn’t have one. We were stranded until about 1:30 AM outside in the parking lot. Team SOLO came to the rescue though! I can not thank you guys enough for your assistance in that time of need. They all made sure I got my spare on and it was safe to go. During that whole episode, I was exhausted and forgot to put up the e-brake. As we lifted the car up and I went to grab the wheel lock key from inside the car, the car fell down and the scissor lift rolled over my foot. I was very fortunate to only get a bruise. Thanks again to the guys of Team SOLO! I am forever in debt!
Negative camber FTL
“You can’t get more VIP than this!” Said Adrian! Lol
Team SOLO then invited us to dinner at the fanciest place in town at 3:30 AM! Denny’s! Apparently there are like 4 Denny’s within a 10 miled radius of this town. Jordan and I went to all four and only till be got to the last one did we find the one that they were at. What a weekend!
Adrian, your secret is safe with me and Jordan! Lol your poor wife, she gotta deal with you and your special video game haha! Let’s just say it has something to do with Phil Collins!

We placed a couple cars.

Greg- Hottest Wild Eclipse
Rich- 3rd place 4 door mild
Me- 2nd place 4 door Mild, Hottest Mild Lexus, and a weird placing in VIP where I never compete, Hottest VIP Japanese.
lol thanks for the MAD props on my neon show car. LIKE carbon said.. i use to have a gs430 show car that you could probably find pics of here on CL. i did like the lexus better as a street car but since its a show car i like the neon better for show.

Hey Rick the red version is my favorite one so far, I wasn't really feeling tha green too much but I understand its a full show car. Congrats to you guys on your placings and team awards. Very well deserved. Plus You get extra points in my book and the judges books for having to deal with Shawn...LOL
