Hope to see some familiar faces, and meet some new ones :biggthumpup: If you see me or my car, don't be a stranger and come up to say wsup! I know I'm not VIP, but I'm still a nice guy! haha =]

Eric, contact Sean 'jdmpalace'. I know he wanted to go so I'm sure you two can cruise together. But HIN LA is not pre-screening which shouldnt be a problem.

the hours for hin los angeles say 5 to midnight. Does this mean showcasing people won't be able to get out until later ?

Correct. Usually exhibitors get out around 12:30am or so. Remember to have a maximum 1/4 tank of gas to be able to show.

03-11-2008, 10:30 AM

Yeah I'm figuring on being home by 2 am.

Mdenoga, it's minimum 1/4 or maximum 1/4 tank? I thought when you're at indoor shows they want you to be like empty or something? Otherwise I'll just be on full, thanks

can't have more than 1/4th in the tank. Basically, they want your tank empty. Normally, they are pretty strict about it. Every show I attended in my life I always see people racing around in circles trying to get rid of the gas. Just siphon the damn thing out! lol

PANCAKES!

03-11-2008, 10:42 AM

Last HIN LA they didn't check! :shrug:
But it is better to be safe than sorry cause it does take a while to burn that much gas in a short distance!

And as far as leaving......LOL! I usally don't leave till about 2 hours afterwards and don't get home till about 3 or 4 ish! HAhahahaha! GOOD TIMES!!!!! :biggthumpup:

Didn't get out until 1am last year. :sad:

LOL had to drive around with a friend for like 30 min. around downtown because he had about 1/2 a tank of gas in his car. :pat: They were very strict about that. Tried siphoning it out, but the it wouldn't work...probably a safety mechanism in the tank or something' ('07 IS250). Definitely not making that mistake this year.

You got lucky Pancakes.

Pretty much. All you do is just either sit by ur car and talk to people or just go around looking at the same cars for hours hahaha! It gets pretty boring unless you make it fun by drinking beer and messin around. When u wait for the time to come then it seems much longer.

At 2 am, it will take me 15 minutes to get back to the South Bay. The downside is that I'll probably have a dozen beers in me and that's the worst time to be on the road.

Sorry the shots aren't so great...wasn't using a tripod and I didn't have much time because they were closing the doors. I didn't have a chance to get any shots of the LJC group or the Arkan/Autofashion group. I'll try to get them tomorrow before the show starts.

I'm there now been here waiting at the front gate since 10am!!!!
HIN is gay this year!

Last night there was about 100+ cars waiting to get in and they closed the building and told everyone to come back tomorrow! So we're chillen in the front of the line w/ about 200 other cars waiting to get in! Most of us had to park our cars at our hotels which sucked but was nice cruising the staple center!

As far as VIP turn out its pretty good! I think AF has about 13 VIP cars showing and there's probably more than 15 others here!

I'll post pics of all the rolling shots and other roll in stuff tomorrow.......

They are letting us in so I'll halla at y'all later!
