Great pics and info.. makes me feel like I was there...

Unfortunately, I had some prior commitments.. otherwise I would have attended and showed as well...

Looking forward to seeing everyone at Toyotafest 2010.

Regards,

Joe Z

When I was in line, I was on Webster Street. I would have been in earlier if it wasn't for the fact that I forgot to put my memory card when I left the house.

Fun show, the show location I think is what makes this even "unique" If you were to move it somewhere else say the county fairgrounds it would lose it's appeal, at least for me. Having a JDM show in the heart of San Francisco, Japantown is truly awesome! Being able to walk upstairs for sushi, spam or just to do some shopping is nice for the ladies who do attend as well. If JDM wants to make this show grow, I would start to eliminate some of the stock/boring cars and make it more exclusive since although there were some show-stoppers, a lot of cars were _____ehhh.

I took a lot of pics but only posted some highlights. Good meeting a lot of you guys and putting SN's to the cars/names. I was using my scooter to get around but towards the end of the day it was like 5pm traffic jam!

Seeing the 5-axis IS-F in person was amazing as well as the WALD IS-F. Both cars truly do look better in person. A lot of the body kits look over the top on pics but in person it looks much better. Now it's having me think twice about doing the WALD kit on my car...

awesome pics!

makes me wish i stayed, but that's a discussion for another day.

big props to the norcal family for their hospitality from the quick g2g/dinner on friday night to the welcome bbq dinner on saturday night. nothing like good food and company to highlight the weekend. it was great to see a lot of familiar friends, and meet just as many new people. hopefully to see you all in the near future.

also, thanks go out to the socal/vegas contingency. you guys make great people to hang out with, whether it's on the convoy or sightseeing around the city. there was never a dull moment with you guys, and that made the weekend all the more memorable.

here's to looking forward to next year.

Wow thanks, you sure know your models!

Yeah I saw her naked pics in the magazine which she strategically covered up with all the lil' kiddies around!

I wonder what it would cost to hire her to do a private shoot....

Is this the same girl? I met her, seems like a sweet girl, what's the typical model "age" these days? I shot one girl who said she was only 19!

oh yes almost forgot, have to thank CL member Baoser for this sweet picture of my NSX, damn truck in the way!

[img]This crappy weather really hasn't allowed a formal shoot but Baoser (clublexus) member shot my NSX on the way to WekFest in San Francisco, Japantown this past Sunday enroute to a show.

First actual picture of the 18/19" BBS LM' combo :biggrin:

(damn truck was in the way or it would have been nice)
