Let me start off by saying that the event coverage is pretty weak….If you’re looking forward to like highly detailed pics and alot of them, my bad. We ended up leaving pretty late to go to the event and for some shitty reason, there was so much traffic on the 91 that we didn’t even get there until around 7pm. Between trying to get everyone into the event and talking to people, and the huge turnout, I wasn’t able to take many pictures. Plus it was dark by then and the pics wouldn’t have come out great anyways. So I basically just got what I could with the cars I’m familiar with. I actually didn’t even get to walk around at all. I was too busy catching up with people and trying to take pics of the cars up front…

Here we are at Midnight Garage preparing to leave. Tony couldn’t make it because he was catering some party or some shit so Ross, who owns the bB, ended up taking his car to the meet…Traffic was fucking horrible. Why? I don’t know. I can’t really think of a reason why people would be going in that direction but it sucked ass….halfway there and it was bumper to bumper until 2 miles or so from the event…

Once I got there and got everyone situated, this was the first car I noticed. Definitely haven’t seen it before so I was talking to Rodrez and asked him whose car it was and he told me it was actually Freddy from Auto Fashion’s Integra. If you’re familiar with Auto Fashion then you know that they do all VIP-themed stuff. Guess Freddy can build Hondas too cuz this thing came out great…

Speaking of cars I don’t normally see that often, I finally got a chance to take a look at Rodrez’s S2000 up close. He’s usually driving the Honda Tuning Fit around so I haven’t had a chance to see this car other than in some meet pics or happen to catch a glimpse of it driving by on the street. I remember him saying he wasn’t gonna do anything by lower it and put some wheels on it but man, it sure looks like he did alot more…haha. I like it though, I just never imagined him actually owning a yellow S2K….

Here’s a shot of the cars we brought out….Man, there were so many people at this event. So much so that they had to actually turn people away. I expected a good turnout but nowhere near what we saw on Saturday night. Shit was poppin….

Of course you all know Arnel’s hatch. He recently picked up some Denji headlights, JDM fogs (finally), and an OEM bra. Looks good!…

Reza’s the current Honda Tuning magazine cover car and he came out to represent and show NWP some support….

Next to Reza is Rolandos/Manties’ Honda Element…

I’m sure if you follow this site then you should know DC5 Jared’s S2000….

Teddy from AS1’s hatch…

Alex came out as well sporting two different sets of wheels because the widened M7s don’t fit up front yet and he didn’t want to risk anything. Once he gets everything squared away, it’s gonna look pretty badass…

Alot of people hung out by the projector screen to watch the first episode of Autolife, which is a video about the community that’s produced by someone within the community. It was pretty interesting, even with the Big Mike portion where he talked about any and everything….haha…

Got to hang out with the usuals. Always good to see friends. Don’t know who the guy in the gorilla suit is but it was hot as shit that day and the person must have been desperate for some attention…

That’s pretty much it. Around 8:15 or so people began to leave. I really wish I could have taken more pics for you guys but oh well….next time for sure…After the show we just cruised back to the shop and hung out there for awhile. Late at night, Ross and I even got a chance to drive around and take some pics of his car. I’m still debating on whether to throw those up here or not…we’ll see….til next time.
