Foo - My midnight rendezvous

It's been a while since I went out to play at night. Met a few friends, took some pics in a place we weren't supposed to be.

Video to follow.

Roll out vids:

I was driving my friend's car because he was doing the filming. I was in the last one to leave, not the car that was still there. Micaiah is the one on the right next to the silver one. Didn't realize what he sounded like till now.

Micaiah and I were the first to leave in this one. But the second on the return back. I drive him real gentle. Realized quite a few scraped. :(

Verrah nice.

Cool.


What kind of camera is that? I need a HD camera...

So, gone twin turbo yet? :D

I think you know I love that Lexus. I can't watch the videos on my iPod but I'll watch them tomorrow

Doncha know you're supposed to park in between the white lines? ;)

That was almost half mill worth of cars there including upgrades.

... is that... hmm, maybe I know where that is.

Very very cool.

What exactly is this about? I seriously have no clue.

Dublin BART parking structure?

I lived in California for a minute and while I consider the entire nation to be car crazy, as a matter of fact it's probably a defining aspect of our culture, California is just super hardcore into cars, both classic and modern.

But California is wonderful and so are those cars and so is Siu Blue Wind.

Dublin BART parking structure?

Actually, from the looks of the buildings in the background of some of the pictures, I'd say it's the parking structure behind some offices on Hacienda Dr. past Dublin Blvd.

By the epic-ness of how indistinguishably these rides are (as nice as they are)....meh. I know there has always gotta be a hater and sadly I might be the one this time, but really? No custom paint job?

And ruin the original paint?

Okay!! I'll go do that next week! :thumb:

Getting ready to start drifting?

And ruin the original paint?

Yes. Ruin the boring original paint and make it something unique.

Same color ride just looks like a gang to me. As a real interest would generate some creativity.

Note: The above bike probably doesn't appeal to too many people, but its definitely more of a conversation piece than other Y-foils... while also having better components than most ;)
Note #2: I'm not dissing the cars... they are nice. I'm dissing the owners :D

I've always said this, visual loudness doesn't always equal good looking. I think with those cars subtle is a much better thing. We're not looking at some 18 year old's honda civic here.

Agreed! I like understated subtlety and lots of horses under the hood, myself.

This, for example

...But that really shouldn't dissuade someone from wanting to make it different than another's and rims aren't that much custom. I think my perspective on why one would join a car club is tragically out of tune to those that actually join a car club.

My apologies.

Too bad that isn't a Lexus LFA. Those are super sweet.

You have no idea what Micaiah means, do you? :lol: Creativity is under the hood. Those cars are 'sleepers' :thumb:

How many of those cars are actually the same color? Hard to see, isn't it? ;)

Note: The above bike probably doesn't appeal to too many people, but its definitely more of a conversation piece than other Y-foils... while also having better components than most ;)

Yes, it could be a conversation piece but in having manners, I don't make it a habit of bashing other people's things. Perhaps being critical in helping a friend yes, but that doesn't apply here.

Note #2: I'm not dissing the cars... they are nice. I'm dissing the owners :D

Why are you dissing the owners? Because the cars are not to your liking?

Too bad that isn't a Lexus LFA. Those are super sweet.

I didn't have $375,000 in the checkbook. Should have done a transfer, dangit. Would have been nice to have one in 50. Especially the orange one!

I get it, power of deception... I obviously don't get the lack of visual identity.... I get function over fashion. I do. I figure people would want both. Especially in a car thats pretty damn nice to begin with.

:leaving thread before my 20 bucks goes to waste:

I wish it was like 4 yrs in the future and they were just coming out with those. I could totally maybe get one then. On another note I can still drool about it. The only car I have ever taken an interest in. Everything about it is beautiful.

How about a 2.55 Million dollar car? A 1937 Deusenburg SJ Cabrio.

Nice group of cars! What I've found over the years of numerous car meets/gatherings/shows is that the quality of individuals/friends is far more important that the extent of tune the vehicles are in. I've seen some nice rides, leashed to their dickweed of an owner. And I've seen some humble cars, with owners the personality and heart of gold. Looks like fun, Siu!

It is, Dewwin. Your words are so true. These guys are really nice and they help me out a lot. And if you are ever up my way, I'd love to have you join me in one of the meets. We have one once a month.

Fuzzy, I found a way for you to have your LFA:

Hahaha that is so ghetto.

I keep reading this thread title as "my midget rendezvous".
