Haha last year we had one in Sacramento, CA and Austin, TX. This year ours in the the PNW. Kind of a thanks to the HUGE group of great kids of that way. They showed up in CA last year for Stance of the Union with 25 cars. Thats a long fucking haul ---

I mean I get the point behind doing it with air so you can actually drive the car normally, but the ultra low static drop imports just don’t make sense to me. Sure they look cool, but isn’t the point of a car to be able to drive it? Anyway, nice pictures looks like you had a cool trip. The south has WAY less potholes unlike here in NY where we have ones that can eat a whole car.
