Default Anyone showing at HIN Orlando?

I was going to post this in the South East section but there is NO traffic there. Anyone here attending the Orlando HIN? My friend with a VIP Passat is going to be showing with me.

Shawn (lexusonduds) should be there. I was considering it, but I think I'll pass on the 'rice fest' (thats just me though) .

I live 1 mile away from the Convention Center. I will go on Friday and try to take some pictures in the parking lot behind the building as they line up. Hopefully it won't rain. Once the cars roll in, the lighting is bad. Most likely I will join the show but can't touch the others as far as competition. Just go for fun, maybe get some new ideas on what to do to mine. (bolt on boy) 98 Supra quicksilver.

very cool, thanks guys! i was really concerned that nobody would be there because at low amounts of the lexus community representing at past events this year. a lot of them said it was because of gas prices! there are only two members from my team coming. we hope to meet everyone there! this should be a fun event.

Default Hotels and speed traps (Universal Blvd)

Hey gang, I run a towncar (taxi) around Orlando. Better to stay at the hotels on Universal Blvd. Such as Springhill Suites, Hampton Inn, Hyatt Place. Newer and much nicer than the old nasty hotels on I Drive. It runs parallel to I drive. Almost with walking distance of the Convention Center and close to eateries, clubs, Universal, or Sea World if you want to check out the parks. Also watch out for cops, they know about the show and will have traps EVERYWHERE. Last year there were a bunch of cars pulled over after the show ended. Just my 2 cents.

thanks, if you want to meet up with me at the hotel before you can hop in my ride and go into the convention center with me during roll in. it will be much les busy inside and fully lit. you can check out the rides and take pics while we set up our cars. it should be free for you to roll in with us as well. i have an extra pass. and thanks for the kind words! but i will be in some great company! almost all my daddies will be there! lol
