it wasnt bad on the way up to TN cause we rolled up in a 15 car caravan up so it was kinda fun takin pics.

but coming home to FL was terrible, my some buddys of mine who ride in the fit with me decided they wanted to drive home a 930 pm..needless to say we got home at 11 something am.

im going on about 45 minutes of sleep since 7am sunday morning

sd to fl.

thats cool.

i did the 40 across all the way to Greensboro,NC


3k miles. took us 1 1/2 days non stop(except for gas and bathroom)

2 drivers of course in a eclipse. i would imagine the fit being more comfortable. and this thing has cruise control. your gonna love the drive.

your lucky you had a group n rim man.

when i blew out my tire, i couldnt even fit my finger under my front lip because it was so low.

Damn John.... That sucks about the blow out. Were the tires worn? or did you just get a nail or something.
It didnt mess anything up did it?

Did you enjoy the meet/show at least?

didnt find out till like ten minutes ago when i pulled my c8 out of my car that not only did the tire blow the sidewall out, i also bend and cracked the rim ...sweet.

yea the tires were worn a little. lol i also did get a big ass screw in my tire and i pluged it will i was there.

omg no matter how bad the trip was the meet was wellll worth it.

me/eric/chris and xavier got import alliance tattoos, free memberships to import alliance.0rg, shit load of free shirts,stickers,licence plate frames, free entry to every import alliance meet, free shipping from weaksos.com/ pics of us 4 on import alliance .com( soon to come)

don ( the guy who host IA) was stoked on our tattoos and couldnt thank us enough for shown the support.

At least you made it home safely. Yea the meet was awesome except for the heat, but luckily I had a big ass tent to sit under w/ cold drinks.

jani88- I think I met you or at least your buddy. I talked to your friend w/ the black EF hatch for a little bit.

Talking Love this funny photo!



That has to be the single funniest picture I've seen on the forums! What was the significance of all the tape on the bumpers....maybe just for the sake of being silly?

hahaha feel free to rep it.

the tape on the front is to save the paint from rocks/bugs or whatever might else hit your car. but the FLA and big ass arrow was just for fun and for the sake of pictures
