if you're talking about the same show where steve won, then some 3rd gen TL with just rims and maybe subs won best TL. Bo also showed at the same time and we all thought he got robbed we joked around that the judges didnt know his car was a TL cause he had inspire badges on

Wekfest is either going to be January 31st or February 21st. The classes I mentioned will be at Wekfest.

Hellaflush is just a big meet as far as I know.

Cool with me, I leave laguna beach at 1:00ish. Should be in SJ around 6-7. We can hook up at 8:00 and hang out for an hour or whatever.Anything in the Valley Fair area...back of parking lot. Parking lot by Starbucks off prospect and saratogo, Other suggestions? The engine compartment has had a major overhaul as well...

After being on the road for 5-6 hours, I'd like to keep it close to home if possible.
