oh man..
I was right behind xxxalwayzspeedinxxx(Tim) and Miss_is300 when that happened.. I was going like 120+ to catch up and all of sudden Tim's rear bumper flies on me. I mean I knew his bumper was pretty lose cuz we bought extra bumpers together, but damn… I didn’t expecting that to happened… lol
But it was all good.
Anyways I just wanna say thank you to all of you who made this meet possible. I can’t wait til next year.
Hope to see you guys real soon.

Thanks to everyone for all the planning that went into this. We definitely had a great time and it was nice meeting everyone. Our dog was really happy to ride along as the honorary CL mascot
Nice pics also...they really helped captured all the details of the day...thanks to Tim for making it even more memorable...twice? (at least we pulled over twice, haha)
These meets are great b/c they not only inspire me with ideas for my car, they also inspired my gf who is now more encouraged to help me mod it
I look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Looks like I missed out on a really great cruise (I'm still mad I had to work the last min.).
I will for sure make the next meet, hopefully its the BOS event.
Thanks for all the pics.

Yep, we were right behind you heading into the parking lot.
Unfortunately, dogs aren't allowed into the Boardwalk, so I made a quick run in to grab some food and bring it back out to the parking lot while she stayed back with Chester for a bit (we brought his food along too!
), and then both of us went back out for a quick stroll up and down the place and then decided to head back (it looked like it was about to rain so we figured we'd hit the road...luckily it never did!). Too bad we didn't get to say bye to everyone. Hopefully we'll see you next time you're up! I'll buy you some Jollibee
Later,
Jeff

Your bumper is freakin magical...it must land right-side up every time, cuz there was not a scratch on it from what i could see.
If anything fell off my car at 120, I wouldn't expect it to survive, much less look untouched.
I guess the next step would be to modify the bumper to work like a bumerang.
It comes off, flies up, turns around, and smacks right back into place.
Great meet!
As always Rich took some awesome pics. The coast cruise shots are absolutely priceless, and I always wanted a shot of my car through the side mirror.
Thanks to Tee and Glen for the organizing.
Looking forward to the affore-mentioned mini-meet (did I hear someone say "Free Love at the Elephant Bar"?)
See you guys soon.
