Car Club! - 1/15/2007 10:32:55 PM    19Accord97   Posts: 3171 Joined: 3/5/2006 Status: offline I have pretty much been accepted into the Xplicit Impressions car club www.xicc.net around my area, which also has chapters in Washington and Cali.  But...i'm having second thoughts.  I met the leader and he has quite a few requirements: -Attend two big shows, such as NOPI or HIN in St. Louis -Must have 3 BIG modifications to the car, wheels being one of the 3 unless your oem ones are in perfect shape.  But he only counts I/H/E as 1.5 of those things! -Your car has to be in show ready shape all the time, b/c of the club decal i'll soon be sporting. Basically I got in b/c I have plans of wheels, CF hood, and projectors.  But.....I still am in HS, and I am looking for another job, and I dont think, well I know my parents wouldnt let me go to HIN or NOPI.  So yeah, idk what I am gonna do. Anyways, the guy has a REALLY nice Eclipse (not the ricey kind), with a nice turbo and hood, then he has a civic thats modified, and Yamaha road bike and a Eagle Talon that was on jacks in pretty crumby shape.  But I could tell he spends all his money on his cars....  I guess i'll probably "offically" join when I have my mods and am in college. _____________________________ Scopin out my old turf......

RE: Car Club! - 1/21/2007 1:08:12 AM    19Accord97   Posts: 3171 Joined: 3/5/2006 Status: offline haha I am not to sure! Oh well, even if its not, the worst is that I would get kicked out which is highly unlikely. Besides, I already have the decals on and my car is a muddy mess! hehe Plus his modified Civic was clean on the outside, but the inside was...not so much. But his Eclipse was def. show ready! Want to know the funny thing?! I saw the guy for the second time last night......getting pulled over in his Civic! I was like, hey I know him! And he was about 8 blocks from his house. _____________________________ Scopin out my old turf...... (in reply to poser_pilot6) Post #: 10

RE: Car Club! - 1/21/2007 1:31:13 AM    poser_pilot6 Posts: 1036 Joined: 11/2/2006 Status: offline LoL, that is pretty funny.  You should ask if he is going to kick himself out for bringing negative publicity to the club by getting pulled over. _____________________________ 1994 Accord LX four door Bomz SRI w/ K&N filter 194k miles (in reply to 19Accord97) Post #: 11

RE: Car Club! - 1/21/2007 1:39:13 AM    19Accord97   Posts: 3171 Joined: 3/5/2006 Status: offline LMAO I should! I have anxiously been checking the club site to see if he has posted anything, but he hasnt since the 18th. Seems a little more than a coincidence! _____________________________ Scopin out my old turf...... (in reply to poser_pilot6) Post #: 12

RE: Car Club! - 1/21/2007 1:53:23 AM    19Accord97   Posts: 3171 Joined: 3/5/2006 Status: offline Not that I can find. I had no idea, until I actually met the guy which was disappointing after he told me. They should have them posted on there. Basically the car just has to be clean, and have three BIG modifications to it. He actually got sponsored after going to HIN a few times. HIN knows IE pretty well according to him and if I went it would only be $55 for me, the car + a friend which seems like a really good deal! To bad I couldn't. _____________________________ Scopin out my old turf...... (in reply to poser_pilot6) Post #: 14

RE: Car Club! - 1/21/2007 2:08:36 AM    poser_pilot6 Posts: 1036 Joined: 11/2/2006 Status: offline So since you have the decals on your car, does that mean you are in the club?  It WOULD be pretty sweet to get sponsored though.  If my car had more mods than it does, I would consider joining a car club.  Actually I have thought about starting an Accord club out here, I have seen quite a few in my area that are modified, but I havent really talked to anyone about it yet to gauge the interest. _____________________________ 1994 Accord LX four door Bomz SRI w/ K&N filter 194k miles (in reply to 19Accord97) Post #: 15
