yeah I didn't wanna ride in your car cause I know I will get so hooked that I might do something drastic to get it.
Just watching your car launch was already enough to make me want it.
Let us know when you'll be in our hood again and well set up a mini meet or something.
You are a cool dude !

It was a fun show
The only regret I have is not getting to meet everyone. Between my car, friends that I rolled up with and friends that lived up there that I haven't seen for awhile, there was just too many things going on. I would have to say North Cal CL Knows how to represent!! I'll probably be up there again for another car show, hopefully I get to meet the rest of the group.
Congrats on the win Glen!
Here's a pic of mine

See the more the better so one day when I move back to the bay area there are lots of VIP cars and not just a dozen or so.
Dont count the Benz & BMW as VIP........

Well how they classify VIP here at HIN is not how they would in Japan. I will let JunctionGS elaborate since I don't think I could explain it as good as him. Basically, HIN's definition is different .
If you enter in the VIP class then you are competing under that category and judged against cars entered there, including Merceds, BMW, Audi. I could have just as well entered my car in a non-VIP class such as under "4 door mild " class. I wouldn't stand a chance in that category though, since I don't have any Neon or glow in the dark paint job.

I think HIN's definition of VIP is anything in luxury nameplates. Here's my biggest pet peeve, Volkswagen...since when was a GTI a VIP car? If Acura isn't in the category, why is VW in there?

Actually, I think Acura is included in there, atleast the NSX was. At the last HIN in LA, 1st place winner for JDM Spec luxury class was an NSX.

imho the mb gtr, and some other cars i saw there (suv, vw, etc...) i can't imagine how they can be VIP
but then from what i see, it seems like their definition of VIP is the price of the car. using that defition, it makes a lot of sense now
