    Import Atlanta Debuts

    02-23-01 After weeks of planning and design Import Atlanta makes its official debut to the World Wide Web. Offering listings of local shows and events, and directories of local shops, clubs , and hang out places. In the first few months we will try to establish ourselves in the Atlanta Import community. We will bring you the latest news from the national import scene and also the latest local news. Also, every month we will have a featured car, club, and shop. We will be on the look out for the tightest rides in Atlanta so keep 'em clean.

    We didnt need a 20K camera to help put IA on the map.. we had cheap cameras.. Actually this 4 feat I shot with a $50.00 camera 1 meg.

    No need to be cocky.. we been doing this for awhile.. Message to some **** talkers out there....
    Before all these photographers starting popping up.. IA was already taking snaps...

    I love the way back machine!!!!! It's cool to look at how things have progressed. IA was never as ghetto as our first site. Y'all always had some class and style to yours.

    lol....I remembered the old days. Where I bought some wheels of a member from XratedRacing. If I remembered correctly, he was the web designer for IA back then, Chris with the white 6th Gen accord Sedan, slammed? I think. I didn't know him much. Then for some reason, the site crashed? I lost access to my old SN. So I was reluctant to sign up until 2 yrs later.
