Vacation photos! plus Special HIN Orlando Bonus Coverage!

Visited Orlando once again and took a few hundred pictures, check them out!

First batch is a quick photoshoot at a benz dealership. Both the G and Z are twin turbo and have the greddy TT evo exhaust, and Work S1s.

Thanks bro! Yeah I always hate leaving the car when i'm at car shows because someone always tries to come talk to me but after the fact they tell me I was no where to be found. I've got a picture of your TL from the rear...sucker looks good in person. I guess my car was in 4 door mild in the contengency for Hottest Acura but after looking at all the other Acura's there i decided mine wasn't the hottest so i didn't even listen to the awards. That's awesome you won 3rd in VIP...did you end up with a trophy?!

Damn dude that's certainly something to be proud of since this was my 3rd HIN appearance and haven't been able to come home with a trophy. Well i've got HIN Charlotte this coming Saturday so this time i'll try harder considering I didn't even have my hood or trunk open when the judge came by. Good job on the 3 FOOT tall trophy good god that thing must stand correct.

...good observation and indeed it was a female in the cockpit. She asked us if we were going to the convention center and we were so she followed us there. Her name is Melissa, and she was driving it for her fiance Mark, whom we met the next day...very nice couple!

Slammed_JDM...unfortunately that is the only shot i have of your TL. It was taken during the awards ceremony after they decided to cut all the lights back on. Did you take any pictures at the show?

I guess just go to the show and have fun, meet people, answer questions, and don't worry about winning or losing. If you love cars and talking to people its something everyone should try out.

To sum it up the vacation was fantastic! met a few people, met up with some old friends from previous trips, took many pictures, saw many nicely modified imports, drank heavily a couple times, the HIN Orlando attendance and quality surpassed my expectations, even got an oil change at Fountain Acura on friday morning and their service impressed me.

Slammed_JDM... sorry we didn't get a chance to meet one another, maybe next time. and again congrats on the win.

I was thinking, those other Acuras are nice and everything, but its so much rarer to find a TL in that category. The judges should at least rank you or something.
