This Sunday, I was invited to attend a small car get together sponsored by JDM Theory at Japantown. What originally was planned as a 30 car or so event ended up filling the parking lot to capacity. There were a lot of nice machines and a lot of cars that represented the JDM cars found in Japan. Thanks to Ernesto and Jeff for taking care of the planning and coordination of this meet.
There is also going to be a big outdoor car show next Sunday, August 1, 2004 during the Summer Obon festival that is sponsored by JDM Theory as well. If you have a chance, please come out to take in the beautiful weather (hopefully *knock on wood*), look at the beautiful cars, and enjoy some of the events that will be taking place.

He had an awesome sound system that incorporated the subwoofer into the center
section between the seats and the rear trunk. Due to technical difficulties, the
pictures of the outside of his car didn't come out. If anyone has any pictures
of it, please submit it to me so that I can include it.

Scion Xb.
I had to give the
owner of this Scion props. I am sorry that I forgot his name. If you notice,
that is an Iraqi license plate on his front windshield. He was in the Army in
one of the engineering corps and was one of the first troops to step foot into
Iraq. His group was responsible for dismantling roadside bombs, mines, and other
explosive ordinances and booby traps. He was one of the first soldiers that
headed into Baghdad International airport to clean out the booby traps and try
to restore all major systems and airport infrastructure. He pulled the plate off
of a car that they blew up because it was rigged to explode and cause serious
harm. I salute him and others who are still in war zones fighting for the
US on behalf of freedom and the democratic way of life.
