    Thanks for the great pics, Ben!

    Can't believe the brz has less rear leg room than my 911. Ill still order one if they release a turbo sti version tho. Cool little car.

    LOL. A normal driving position, even for someone under 6 foot, results in literally zero rear legroom...

    It looks very nice, though. All it needs is a turbo :)

    Looks great! Did anyone get a head count or a car count? The turnout was huge!

    I saw you were shooting Nikon, curious what body/lens? Shots look nice and wide :)

    No idea on the turnout. I think Dean kinda went around and counted cars or was counting as they were pulling in. I would guess 70+ cars and 150+ people. WAY more than we expected.

    I am just using a d300 body with battery adapter and the 18-200 lens. Kinda my point and shoot setup.

    Yeah, I was thinking it was well over 100 people. Your shots look great. Sounds like a very versatile setup.

    Thanks for getting pics cars! I was too busy to spend much time poking my head in engine bays like I usually do.

    I'm not sure what I like more about that picture. All the "filled out" attire, Emily falling asleep standing up while drinking a NOS, Chong completely ignoring the winner of his prize to admire the view, and so much more.

    Josh, you need to work on your NOS model pose. Hand on hips behind your back.

    What someone won my prizes? MR and BIR kudo's to them, why was I not informed. If you're the winner plz PM me and we'll get the ball rolling. Something blue in front of my view was obstructing my concentration and for the record I don't do NOS drinks. :facepalm:

    Was I the only one who noticed, but did someone seem a bit uncomfortable standing up there along with two can's of NOS? lol

    I like the focus on the NOS booth in the RiceKiller photos :)

    No problem on the thread title. Working in a corporate environment with hundreds of files and folders, it is nice when I can sort by name and actually sorts correctly (even if it spans multiple years). I've gotten kind of anal about using that kind of odd date format. And Windows doesn't like slashes. Lol.

    As you can see that drink has a very unique effect on everyone. Even someone who's studied kung fu for many many years. :coffee:

    Man. I really gotta get a job up in the Cities so I can come do this stuff.

    By the way, will they let people drive these cars yet, or do we just get to drool all over them for the next several months?
