Well today was the last day for the NY International Auto Show, a week long event were automakers showcase a lot of their new vehicles as well as give out swag. n_n Thanks Porsche for the sexy new posters. My girlfriend Ivelisse and I went on the third day to enjoy the sights of the lovely cars. We had a great time and got to see some great cars like the IQ from Scion (Ivelisse’s favorite), the Nissan Nismo Z (370z), the Porsche GT3, the Jeep Rallye Compass, the Subaru Impreza WRX (sedan and hatchback), the Honda Mugen, and lots of others.

Pride Performance Shop

Photobucket

Hey, Sanjay here, and just showing off a fairly new shop I came to visit today. The place is called "Pride Performance" and is run by one of my good friend's brother. I was excited to check it out, I knew one day, I'd have to find a shop to start my work, and I honestly believe this is it. The shop has a lot of potential, along with it's workers. I met up with the shop's general manager, Giovanni Rivera, and let me say.. from a lot of people who I've met/known, this man is purely dedicated to his work. There are problems and some struggles they must go through, but I have never met someone so into what they do, he is definitely going places with his crew. Working on several cars, their days seem endless, but atleast along the way, he can enjoy something he does very well. Well, onto some pics that our good friend, Ivy, took:

Here's a R32, from what I been told, it is going to be for SALE!

This place is going to be big, I can feel it, and I hope soon I can become part of it. One of these days, I want to check out their drift team, which is going to be something I want to do. My plan, for the near future, is start working a bit more on my car and attending some RallyX's and AutoX's and make a name for myself and bring up this shop for their support and my support for them. More to come soon...

Pine Barren Campout Meet

Photobucket

Well, Us members from DirtyImpreza.com thought we should have yet another meet down there... and this one should be a camp out. Prior to this meet, things seemed to have been planned well, but when it came to the days of the meet, boy did it get hectic. It went from being a two day event to a three day(though it still ended up being two... I'll explain soon). So me and a couple friends left on Friday afternoon, we got there and we had some fun. I was in my car, which is a Aspen white 2000 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS, my friend Andrew with his GF came in her car, which was also 2000 Subaru Impreza in blue, and our friend Jack came down in his 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. Jb took some pics and they came out good, though I become a blur because of my acceleration ^-^. Here is a link to the pics of me:

Now when we had gotten there, it was turning dark so we figured after a few runs, we'll set up "camp." My friend Andrew had a tent, but had forgotten something with it so they couldn't use it (Lucky for him, Dimitri lent them his tent and he shared the a tent with his friend). Jack and Jb had left early because they couldn't stay, and I decided I was going to sleep in my car. We did have another member show up in the late night with an 05 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS, who did a couple runs before they hit the sack. Also, another member(Dimitri) made it with their friends who tagged along(Sorry, don't remember names heh :[ ). Dimitri had come in his Subaru Forester since his car(Suzuki Aerio) was getting work done to it, and his friend had come in his Acura RSX. That night, we made burgers and hot dogs and just talked with occasional night runs. The following morning it rained, so we had a nice slippery track for a couple hours before it got so humid.. it ended being how it was the day before. After a couple more runs and an actual course setup, more members had shown up... now, I'm not sure names here either, but I do recall some cars being a Subaru Impreza WRX/STI/RSTI/RSs. Here are some pics by some DI members:

Before I left, Dimitri, his friend, and I went on some path driving and boy was it fun. Driving down these paths helped me understand my car handling more and the true power of AWD, valuable lessons I learned at yet the END of my meet, haha (First one was... avoid glass in the field :| ).
When I had gotten home that day, I went to check the DI forum and found out that police had arrived at the scene and ruined the camp out, one of us getting a ticket while others were questioned. We plan to help our fellow DI member out for this and the cop did say "there are other places in the park to do this kind of stuff." So I plan on going down sometime and finding this place... because if I don't, I'd have to consider going to another state to RallyX. Well That's enough for this meet, I shall keep you updated for more (and I will talk about more cars in general).
