So that was your S4... mmmm Nice 
There was a Civic there that was stock except for he had spent way way too much money on Pearlescent Rims for it. I could have entered my OZ if that was all that was needed LOL. I have done the Rims and I have a Vinyl on the Brake cover (see my Avatar) so I could have won something there LOL.
It was nice though to see the Skyline Guys out, as it isn't too often a lot of people get up close and personal with an R34 RHD.

Free Trip Scam at Importfest.
Just as an aside. If any of you who attended Importfest filled out a ballot for the trip by the front gate and get a Call, Tell them to F*#% off, as it is nothing but a scam.
They call you up Claiming you have won an 8 day 7 night all inclusive vacation to Florida and the Bahama's. They make it sound like a great trip, but then they try and get you with the hooks. First off it is $299 Per person to "Hold your Reservation" which they have to take by credit card right then and there over the phone, then there is an extra $149 Per person for Port of Call Fee, as well as the fact Taxes and Gratuities aren't included.
Add to this that your Flight isn't included, but they can "get you a great deal by booking directly with us for your flight" and you start to realize that it isn't a "Free" Trip at all. I looked these guys up and found quite a few horror stories about people who ended up spending over $2000 on this "Free" Trip and getting something that they could have gone through a reputable travel agency and gotten for half that.
Part of the hook once they get you to Orlando is that you have to sit through a very high pressure 4 hour sales Pitch for time shares (Much the same as the Cheap Park Ticket people operate down there) so if you get a call claiming you've won, tell them where to stick their free trip.
