I had to take a pass.

I don't take the TL out of the bat cave in bad weather.

I hope those who made it had a great time. I'm looking forward to the pics.

Great meet guys!

I'd like to say thanks alot to those who made it possible and those who brought and cooked the food. My cheeseburger was great.

Rain put a pause on it for a while, but then I saw the guy with the black TL (with red halos) waving me to come to another spot. That was definetly the best spot.

Only bad part was at teh beginning when it rained, I went to the bathroom and was stuck there. thats not the bad part, I parked in reverse on a hill and left teh sunroof partly open. for a good 15 min atleast it was raining in it. I would have rather parked on pavement but some guy with a TSX decided to take up 4 spaces till his buddies came.

Waiting on pics, I saw Jasen with a D300 and a few other people with cameras...

I shud have brot the D80, but all I had with me was a P60. After the rain there was great lighting actually.

Well. Here we go.

First I'd like to thank JRhodes88 & Bzyrice for coming all the way from Orlando and Thank Jrhodes88 for also hopping on the grill with me. Another Thank You goes out to the guys from NSXPrime, for showing up, you guys made a big impact on this meet. Oscar Thanks for coming. I'd also like to thank the guys from the S2k community for coming through also. That green S2k was complete madness on wheels.. Thanks to P2R for bringing the two race cars out there. Another thank you goes out to the FHC and JDM South crew. There were so many Civic's, Integra, and Rsx's out there that i almost stole one... To the guy with the supra that was a nice ass color. clean.... With the turnout today, it only shows that we dont hate in So Flo. we have no problem inviting members from other clubs (NSXPrime, S2ki, FHC, , and JDM South) It wouldnt have been an Acura/Honda Meet without you guys
Thanks to all the members that provided cash donations today, it helped me bribe the park security so they wouldnt kick us out. Thats right, there were so many cars that they has to shut us down and move us to the biggest pavillion they had. Thats exactly what i wanted, to completely shut it down

Big Thanks to quad150db aka "The Flame Thrower" for helping with the grill and supplies and the tent.
Thanks also to Edluv143 aka "Top Chef" for grillin up the wings and burgers. Mine were still better than yours....
Thank You Kman156 for showing up. i dont know how the hell you only have 18k miles on a 99 TL but more power to you. ur car is real clean. ur mods are ridiculous.. i know you didnt expect a good turnout, you wanted to see 50 cars and we were at 93 confirmed when we had to move to the bigger pavilion, and more came after so we were easily over 100 cars today...
Thanks also to Elegant Type S for helping me with the park security when she tried to shut us down. New Yorkers know how to bribe. Straight con man......
Thank You Ifs2 for all the help with the organization, coordination and contribution. This couldnt have been done without ur help. Thank you so much for EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to MSala524 for helping me with the planning and putting this meet together. You deserve alot of credit for this meet. This was actually ur meet, but everyone started coming over to me and thanking me
Asianspec. Thanks for the photo's. im anxious to see them..... we need to put a 3S-GTE swap in the camry.
Thanks also to the two skylines that showed up. i wanted to buy that NOS kit from you guys.

And last but not least, Thanks to pass427 for scaring the living shit out of everybody when you were doing burnouts on the wet pavement in front of our cars. I had my insurance adjuster on hold the whole time....

Thanks to all the Azine members that showed up. The meet was a victory

A huge thanks for everyone already mentioned and also you Barry. It all turned out great. Without you guys we could not make this meet happen.

You had everything on lockdown even parking for other cabanas. Let work on another one up in west palm, that will blow this away. Preferably away from park security, rain, lighting, and turbo'd tl's that like to peel out.

Thanks to everyone that came and I hope you guys had a great time...

Let the photos begin....

It was good to meet you dude. Thanks so much for driving all the way down for this. I hope you enjoyed it.

That lightening was a direct hit on the Turbo TL - at least that's what several witnesses said.

Just wanted to say thanks again for making this such a great meet. I wish I couldve put more faces with screen names! It was definitely a ggreat turnout! I think the meet was just as good as the Cali guys meet!! I wish I didnt have to go so early. I MISSED RODNEYS TURBO TL AGAIN!! I even called him and as I was leaving he was coming in.. DOGH!! lol

When I was driving out I hit a HUGE puddle and my car stalled out. I have a CAI and I freaked out that my car wasnt going to drive again! So, we let it sit there for about 30 mintues and we remvoed the intake to see if there was any water in it. There was!! ARGH.. we dried it out and thankfully my car started and we headed back to boynton. Hope my car is ok for the drive back to Orlando!

I want to thank everyone who met up at the Boca spot. We had a great turnout. We had 8 cars there. It was me(3G Tl), my other friend from Orlando Tan (Silver Turbo EP3), Law (Teal Spoon S2k), kowloonsniperhk who was also from Orlando (09 Black TSX), SYLKIE (2g Silver TL), a guy with an integra, an s2k and the is350 (never got there names). We had a good time rolling down! Next time we roll down I think we need to drive slower and stay in a group the whole time we go down haha..

Anyways, thanks for letting me park over at that spot. Made me feel really welcome. Cant wait to see the pics!

Great to meet everyone...
Awesome and very well coordinated event. I've been to meet's with ephatch and over the years and this one seemed a LOT better put together.
Too bad I had to book it early...would have liked to check out some of the cars that showed up after 2:30...oh well...I beat the rain at least.

Again, great to meet you all and look forward to many more mega/mini meets in the future.

Truely a classy turnout and gathering. My wife and son had an awesome time and the quality of the cars were class A. There was a large variety of models and some were unbeleivable. It was worth the hour and half drive from Naples especially when we did not know what to expect. Lucky for us AAA showed up quick just before the heavy rain started to happily accept $134 and change, for a battery before leaving the park. roadside assistance....priceless. the expense....not needed but we got home.

we'll certainly be there for any other events and or roadtrips for other events around the state.

Thanks.

I was wondering why AAA was there you should have just asked one of us we would have gladly given you a ride to a local auto parts store for a battery...

^^^I was thinking the same thing...or a jump, at the very least. I saw the battery pulled out of the car.

I thought it was "backup" for the park lady...then i realized it was just AAA.

Glad you got home and glad you had fun!

well, i ended up with a 6 year warrantee battery and free replacement within the first three years. i did not inconvenience anyone in the process. not bad i say!
a red top optima burnt my last car down to a crisp. a newer car at that. they did have issues those red tops that were kept secret. of course you can not prove anything to them if the fire originated from the batterry area. insurance came through and here we are.
