Default *Offical Carson Toyota Meet, June 21st after thoughts*

Well I would like to thank Steve Ganz and crew, the sponsors, and everybody who participated in this years event at Carson Toyota. Although the weather started out pretty ugly, it got better as the event got on. It was actually cool for once during a Carson Toyota meet, maybe too cold at the begining.

It was nice seeing all the new and old faces again.

Again I would like to thank everyone who was involved.

There will be a photo album created shortly.

Default Where is everybody?

I came in at 10:25 AM and had to park across the street. I saw only a Black LS400 ( I believe it's Retrodrive's LS). However I have never seen Pete, so I couldn't say hello.
Saw lot's of IS and GS. Cool. Could have been better I guess, if there are other LS

What exactly is the "pace" car? That looked like rice to me.

I know Rominl is Henry, the pics titled Henry's car, was that refering to Rominl?

Thanks

Overall, the meet was fun...got to meet some people and hang out with the crew. Lexus was pretty well represented...

However, the weather sucked (thought it could have been worse...)

I must say though, the HUMOR that was present at the show was the best. What's with all the RICER Corollas? I mean I have respect for the AE86 (I want one damn it!) and MR2's and what not, but these guys that had just BEATEN Corolla's "showing" their cars? The guy that parked in the MIDDLE of "main strip"

Beaten Corolla (like a early 90's) with mad quarter panel body damage, spare tires up front, some wheels out back (some Weds, so I give him props for that), with a broken $20 muffler, random stickers in random places (I mean really random...), and a HUGE double decker B2 Bomber rear wing (on his 92HP FWD car mind you) with the top "wing" missing so the wing looked like a big "U"....WTF is that?!

Then the baby blue Corolla (also early 90's I think) with a HORRIBLE body kit that looks like he painted it with some Rustoleum...the color was like 20 shades off....the fit on Rich's front bumper (after the accident...sorry Rich!) was better then this guy's body kit.

And another Corolla guy had his rear DRUM BRAKES painted performance RED. Why?

www.beaterz.com would have had some nice material from this show. Oh speaking of beaterz.com, Toolmeister himself, was present with his wacked crew and their wacked cars...with chrome stickers to try to add to the fact that his Lexus is a disgrace to every Lexus owner...especially Spectra Blue GS owners (sorry Chris)

I think that next year, there should be a little more discretion on who gets to part in the main lot....
