Damn that place was busy!!

Too bad nobody showed....ha...

Dret, you were probably there but holy **** there are a lot of asian dudes with blonde gf's so....uhhh...after the first few.....we gotta meet somewhere less busy, and where we can at least recognize the cars lol. Oh well...i thought the show itself was alright...nothing spectacular, but they had a couple ferraris, porches, nsx's, a couple nascars....some crazy concept cars etc. Too many rednecks there though....

Hahaha...i should have paid $9 for an adult ticket but i walked up to the window and said "one ticket please" and she gave me the one for $7...."students under 17"....didn't think i looked that young....[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

We gotta set up the meeting better next time!

No, the SIR is just...tiny and the front end looks cheap to me. The back end is better though, and the stock seats are damn nice. I want that NSX now....i even didn't mind the colour that one was in....

Read in the paper they're not going to clean up the streets.. and they're leaving it to melt for next week... DAM that sucks... just means more car washes for us to get...

yea, i heard that today too, but i think it's only the side streets, because i saw a bunch of plows out today. But yea, the driving isn't so bad, snow isn't that slippery, it's just ice and hard pack snow i have trouble with.

I never made it to the car show. My friend's dad wanted a father-son day so they went together. It's good because his dad's always travelling and his house is almost finished so he'll be moving out soon. BUT I DIDN'T GET TO SEE MY CAR!!! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

I told my buddy to take pictures while he was there but he missed a vital one. The back of the Civic Si-Veloz... The car I'm getting this month. Does anyone know what the Veloz emblem looks like? If you have a pic, please share!

actually the roads are kinna fun to drive on now....

Player 1, i saw the Veloz Civic....looked pretty good. Call me a dumbass, but i couldn't see how it was different from the original OEM kit....[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

The Veloz emblem is alright though....there is the Si emblem, then right after that is the "Veloz" emblem in that sort of scripted look. You'll know what i mean if you have the pamphlet.

Veloz is just a trim level of coupe i think. It comes with the body kit, carbon fibre-like audio panel, veloz floor mats, chrome exhaust finisher, veloz badge...and you can only get it in black or silver. Thats what it says on the pamplet...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Yeah, the Veloz is pretty much exactly the same as the Si with some extra stuff (just for looks). It's still got the same engine as the Si as far as I know. Nothing special about it. Except for the emblems and floor mats. Still it's a lot cheaper to buy the Veloz than the Si with the same stuff on it. Saves you over $1k.

All I heard was the emblem was red. (It was an emblem and not a sticker, right?) Can anyone confirm this? If it's not red (like silver/chrome), I'll have to rethink the gold emblems... Red emblems look cool. So I got a little bit of rice in me. Can't help it. I'm Chinese. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Personally, I'd prefer to see it for myself. Pictures would be helpful. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I'm getting the Veloz. It had pretty much everything I was looking for plus a bit more and for cheaper. I just had to wait longer for the Veloz. My cousin in Toronto says the dealers there already have it. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] I want my car so bad!!! I want to touch the emblem too...
