Talking first mini-meet in philadelphia!

AKA orion blue day

ah, a quick meet turned into more than an hour of talking cars, life and what blue means to us... tommy is a very nice guy, funny and down to earth. we'll definitely have to schedule something for the spring when the weather clears up...

here are some car geeky pics for everyone to share all the pics came out bluer than i thought b/c it was such a sunny day.

pics of tommy's interior:




tommy's xpel protection - very difficult to see the stuff on the car so that's good!


tommy's cell phone

tommy's mb watch

Take that back! I've got a rep to protect, you know.

I think the final pics are there to prove what total dorks we are (for further proof, we spent the last 10 minutes talking about PS2 vs. Xbox - what are we, twelve?)

It was cool to meet Young and Eileen, though he got weary of my anti-slushbox references.

As we talked about, once Autoaddictions gets up and running in Manayunk, we'll try to plan a get together there (plus, it'll be a good way for me to scope out apartments for when the big move comes). And, if we're really lucky, we'll get one more snowfall, since Young decided to show me up today by switching back to his C7 rims. :p

I noticed the strategically placed Burger King logo. A paid endorsement? :p

I noticed that too. I was wondering why Burger King and not Taco Bell?

I noticed that too; I hope we don't get sued.

Also, not to sound like Sesame Street, but this thread is sponsored by the color blue! Good Lord, that blue hue is everywhere. It looks like the whole area was underwater.

sure, there's at least four of us in the area (greg's car is non-orion blue )

yeah, i forgot i had my camera at night mode from the previous night, so it took some very bluish pics... i didn't feel like color correcting them manually; i'd have taken out the burger king logo too :p
