I was there for 5 hours on Saturday and I could not find any of you guys.
I did see the RJ turbo CL at a booth and asked the guy where the owner was. He said NOPI supplied the car and just parked it there. I was disappointed because I was hoping to meet RJ and also find out where you guys were.
Where were you guys located??

Pure Adrenaline do you still have Michigan licence plate? It's easy to tell by blue plate.
Reason why I'm asking... When I saw 02-03 TL SSM I was "Dam that nice LOOK TL" What I told my Wife... Then when TL pass by it horn an wave. I told that how TL do it when they pass each other

Nopi Nationals 2007 was an awesome time. Probably one of the coolest ones yet, or ever since ive been going in 2001. The drifting competition was a nice addition and every year there are more drift cars. Acurazine was looking extremely impressive with all the cars parked together in a top notch location. Glenn hooked it up!! I've got a picture of just about every Acura that was there from this site, with a few more. It was good to put a face to those that i met. Looking forward to next year and hopefully even more will make the journey to the show next year. More TSX's!! ...the TL's did it real big
This one was looking way too good!...check it out.
dan.....k's freshly detailed engine bay
type-s09's very quick N/A 6MT.

Needs wheels
This year was the most fun I have ever had at NOPI, and this was probably my 6th or 7th year in attendance. Thanks again to Glen (NOPIGUY) for helping out with the super-prime location...you have set a high standard for yourself! Everyone from our group represented themselves well and was a pleasure to meet and hang out with...I am already planning next year in my mind
I showed up stock knowing that I would come away with good ideas and maybe something to put on the car...well, I didn't find anything there to buy for the car, but looking at the other Acurazine TLs and talking with the other members has helped me figure out my roadmap for customization. Thanks to you all for that.
I fully expect next year to be bigger and better for Aziners!

There was rubber everywhere on Saturday...the wind worked to our favor Sunday and it wasn't bad. It was odd to look down into your drink and it looks like someone sprinkled pepper in it! I bet we all ingested and inhaled a good bit of rubber!!
#384
still a Masshole
Man, looks like a great turnout. I wish I could have made it but I plan on being there next year. My TL is not stock but nothing out of this world. Hopefully next year I can have it lowered and with new wheels.

I didnt really feel like walking after the 17hr drive
Somebody in the Acurazine/RonJon area told me i couldnt park there unless i was a acurazine member
I just smiled and drove away
not my kind of people who kick out a fellow acura dude

I had a great time as well. This was my first time showing my car and second time attending. What a great way to make my first time memorable by having all of us park together in our own VIP area?!
And thanks again to Glenn for hooking us all up! I hope we can get more members to show next year so that we can have a bigger presence.
You should've introduced yourself because we didn't know who are or are not members from the next Acura owner. Sorry you had felt that way though. Eric finally parked with us on the last day along with an RSX and RL.
I'll post my pics up later.

Good Time
Man Glen, thanks for hooking us up with the awesome vip spot at the nationals this year. I have been to several nopi nationals previously, but this one was the best. Meeting up with all of you was cool as hell. Ohh yeah Kasey good looking out with the Grey Goose, after a couple of shots, it was all good. LOL. Our meet impressed the vwife and her and my daughter had a good time. I had planned on doing some real good mods to my car after seeing everyone's cars, but i probably will leave my TL as is. Fella's i got some news For all of you Just found out we're moving to JAPAN next year. Damn i'm kinda shocked, but happy too. I
will probably sell my TL next year. We don't have to be there untill JUNE 08. Damn it's gonna be on. I think i want a Supra or slightly older Skyline. Man i won't make NOPI next year, but i hope to make the Tokyo Auto Show they have every year there. We'll be living pretty close to TOKYO, so i hope it will be cool. We definantly have to have a few more meets before i roll out, so i can hang out some more with you guys, It was really a good time this year with good peple at NOPI this year.

I hope someone had taken pics or vids of our little caravan from the pre-meet on Saturday. That was pretty sweet! Well, here are my pics.
Some of the reasons why we're there for the show besides for the cars.
