    Default 10-25-08 SouthSideImports Meet in Chattanooga 56k Nope!

    Please let this page load to enjoy all the pictures! Sorry if I crash your computer lol - You've been given fair warning.

    As the seasons begin to change from the scorching hot weather to the cool, mild and cold weather comes the time for car enthusiasts to meet up and share our love for our hobby, the automobile.
    This is a detailed (photographically) documentary brought to you by Bandy Designs and Trend Setting Motors .The Atlanta South Side Imports Crew is featured on the drive up to meet the TN SSI-ers and other enthusiasts for a meet and a spirited drive through the TN mountains.

    Kevin (BandyDesigns) and I (CarbonGS) took these pictures. Please be kind, my pics are the unedited and raw ones. I took most of the people pictures. All the rolling shots are Kevin's. I am still learning how to use my SLR!
    Big thanks to Kevin for staying with me at the shop until 3AM after the meet to edit and upload these pictures.

    We met up at 10:30 AM at ZEN Motors in Duluth, GA. Kevin, Dan, Zeek, and myself were about to head on one of the most fun caravans in a long time.

    We stopped for gas and breakfast after giving the cars a quick clean up.







    Time to hit the road. Since there are already lots of rolling pictures of my car I had Kevin ride with me to get rolling shots of the ZEN Motors Turbo White IS300 and Zeek's wicked looking 350Z.









    Saw this Range Rover rolling on 75 North, poor suspension. He gave us a thumbs up though!





    Also saw this Montero on 24's















    This SC was hanging with us for almost 50 miles.









    In this picture you can see a Honda Accord creeping up on us.



    Getting closer.



    Closer.



    Here they are all waving at us!



    Turns out that they were Georgia Tech students and recognized Kevin while he was hanging out of my window taking pics of the IS300 and Zeek's 350Z from his photography.



    Back onto the caravan.





    Then I got this text message about 25 miles away from the GA/TN border. lol "I Gotta Pee" - Dan



    Well, we made a stop for Dan and got some more gas to top off for the road trip once we got to Chattanooga and it was also a good time to spray down the bumpers and get all of those bugs off.



    Check out the JDM Tyte Mail Jeep.



    Back on the road again.



    Expecting with lighting inside the driving cabin.







    Met up with Jeremy (JayKnight) on the highway in the Dalton area.







    Rolled by this RV Dealership.



    This picture is an inside joke between Zeek and Kevin! I won't go into detail on what this gesture means.



    Almost there!





    The weather was just perfect!









    Met up with another member on the highway! chattslides14







    We rolled into the North Gate Mall parking lot where the initial meet was to take place!



    Here are some snaps from that meet.



































































































    One of my favorite pictures from the batch.

























    The proper way to open a ketchup packet.





    This reminds me of Captain Planet



    The new way to signal a hitch hiking request.

    Made you look!



    We then started to head out for the caravan up the mountains. lol as Zeek would say, "Get in da chawpa!"























    It is starting to get scenic!







    Zeek is coming OVA!





































    Redneck Dually?



    Now we hit the mountains.



















    Downgrade anyone?





















    We finally hit our destination. A rugged gas station with a ginourmous parking lot.









































    Time to head back to Chattanooga.





















    Got back to Chattanooga and decided to hit Chili's for dinner. Parked at Buffalo Wild Wings for all of 5 minutes!



    Then drove over to a parking lot near Andy's work to park the caravan.



    Kevin did some crazy photo merging to get these panoramic pictures.





    Some more pics from the parking lot.























    Started to go down to the eateries.







    Marcus got a little pumped up.





    I think when Dan gets hungry he does some weird stuff.











    Finally got to Chili's.



    Casey seems happy.





    "What should I eat?" said the Zeekster.







    Beer is for dinner!





    One down one more to go!





    It got a bit chilly so some of us moved indoors.







    Messing around with my new camera.





    Started to head back to the cars.







    Saw this crazy old Prelude and owner!





    So Carl, how did you like this meet?

    "Very Niiiice!" lol



    "Not so nice!"



    Zeek did a little breaking for some of us.







    Andy, you didn't think we forgot about this little mishap did you?









    It got really dark really fast and along with that came the cold weather! We all said our good byes and started back to Atlanta!

    Thanks again to all who made this event possible! We all had a great time!

    That prelude looks very close to mine, besides the ambers, and the lack of boost. Still clean though.

    oh, and the other 748417401+ cars were okay too ;]
