Checking in from the West Coast pics and all
Sup NELOC. It's been awhile since I've posted in here, but things have finally settled enough out here to point where I'm stable again. It took a while to find a job, but it was well worth the wait to find something I really wanted. I'm now a graphic designer for an architectural design firm, and there's no shortage of work 
. Any way Ms. Apex and I are doing well, but really miss the NELOC family. The car scene here is EXTREMELY weak. I go out to car meets every Thursday but they're blah. Theres a modded cars every where, but know organization. No one wants to talk to you when you ask them about their car, let alone come out to a meet. There's a lot of small clicks out here but no creditable clubs from what I've seen. I hosted a meet the first month I came out here and 10 people showed. 
. But supposedly that was the largest Lexus turnout in 3 years 
. Since then no one wants to come out. But I'm still trying to get something started out here. However I'm got 3 clubs that want me to join them, but two are mainly based in Cali and the third is from back east and they want me to start a West Coast chapter. We'll see though as its still too early for me to fully throw myself back into the scene.
But any way here are some pics from the first meet I hosted, a Las Vegas Drift event, and Formula D/J-Tuned show.
First Meet
Tony I found your twin. The owner has the same 1LS and looks just like you.

Las Vegas Drift Event
I didn't take too many that day. It was 116 degrees out side. I was out there for 8 hours and felt like I was going to die in the first hour. Hid in the shade the whole time.

Formula D Event Round 4 / J-Tuned Show
My lens speed on the Point and Shoot is too slow to take pics of the cars on track. So I got what I could. Mainly show cars though.

Thats enough pics for one day I'd think. Most of these cars are from Cali. LV needs more participation. But at least drifting is big out here. There's one or two events each month.
I'll post pics of our place soon. It aint the Four Seasons, but its home.
Later family

Hey Leroy!
Glad to hear that you found a job! And even better that it's one that you didn't settle for and it's your specialty
Saw some pics on FB of Snoppy (my fav beagle ) you guys seem to be settling in nicely. Please tell Monteece I say HI! I miss you guys!
