Who: Anyone and everyone in the Midwest. Anything with 4 wheels, 2 wheels, no wheels!

What: Massive meet n' greet and cruise through Des Moines, IA

When: September 6th, 2008 @ 5:00 PM

Where: Prospect Park, Des Moines, IA

Why: Why the hell not?

------------------------------------------------

Here is a map of where Prospect Park is located in Des Moines, IA.

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl...&z=11

-This is hopefully going to be a pretty big event. This is one of the first ever actual organized cruise/meet in the Des Moines area. There should be several cars coming from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Including a place called The Chop Shop. They should be bringing their cars and information about their place.

-Random House Racing will also be present. We may even have the beastly MKII Supra out. It's not complete but she might be on a trailer to look at. There should be quite a few of this local group attending.

http://www.randomhouseracing.c....html

-A massive amount of cars from JDMCity.com and Dragsource.net should be there as well. Lets hope that you StarCity guys head on over too as well as the NeStreetScene since we all know how huge that is!

Let's have one last huge turnout for the midwest! Fix your broke *** rides and head on over.

"I just had an epiffery." &lt; (if you watch the Office...you'll understand)

Why don't we all post a picture of our ugly mugs and the car we'll have at the meet to make it easy for us to put faces with usernames.

Honda-Tech was down all day...I got so much work done today.

Some pix I took. I forgot my tri-pod so some of the pix didn't turn out the way I liked so that is why I don't have many shots of a lot of cars. It might have been due to the time I spent taking pix of my car with them fancy "JDM" wheels. I just couldn't resist...it's most-likely the only time my car will have wheels like that on it, Thanks Chris...for letting me borrow them.

My apologies for some of them may look a tad over-exposed due to the poor lighting and my over-photoshopping them. :tongue:
