    It was really great finally putting a face with all the car pics and stories from here. Thanks again Rodney for getting everything together. Some great looking cars out there and some crazy ideas. Look forward to the meets becoming more popular and get more people out there as well. Was a really good turn out already. Also thanks for letting me borrow the JDM Prius magazine. I am truly in heaven. Still amazed of all the stuff out there. Looking forward to doing alot more to my car over the next few months. Talk to you all again soon. Alvin, you'll be getting a PM from me soon.

    Just want to thank everyone for a great get together! It was really nice to geek out with some other Prius lovers!
    I got to see some really cool mods and got some great ideas for some future mods.
    I can't wait for the next meet!

    It was a blast getting together and sharing stories/adventures, and it was the first time we'd seen some sweet-looking modded Prii. Thanks again, Rodney, Chris, everyone... we can hardly wait 'til next time! :D

    And hey - how about getting more lady Prius drivers in the mix.

    Great meet-up. Sorry again for bailing out before lunch. It was great meeting everyone there. Looking forward to the next meet... we most def need some more lady Prius drivers, more Gen IIs to show up, and more colors other than Blizzard Pearl. That last one is a stab at you Rodney... Maybe next time we'll schedule a Winter Grey Metallic meet-up. Haha.

    Cool meet. On the way home, my blizzard ran into a blizzard

    Edit: I think we should also use this thread to continue to discuss anything that was discussed at the meeting. I'll go first. @ Rodney to take care of your LED turn signal you should replace your OEM signal flasher to this http://store.ijdmtoy.com/12V-Electr...y-Fix-Turn-Signal-p/led_flasher_fix_sku85.htm I posted pictures in this thread where the flasher is http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-iii...ations/86583-drl-bulb-technical-question.html After replacing the flasher, you can remove those resisters on the taillight bulb covers.

    The mini blizzard happened over just north of Los Angeles I5 between 138 and Gorman. CHP led the traffic at 8mph. That morning on the way to LA I took these pictures. Rest are from the meet.

    Alright here are the pics from the meet. Big thanks to my buddy Paul who took the photos since I forgot to charge my camera. Only thing I did was the editing and touch up.

    [ame="http://www.flickr.com/photos/24494457@N08/sets/72157626039392501/"]PriusChat February Meet&Greet - a set on Flickr[/ame]

    Anyways, hope you guys like the photos. Flickr messed up the levels on a few of them because they look way better in lightroom. :confused:

    Look forward to the next meet!

    edit: sorry guys, I couldn't seem to get my bbcode from flickr to show up here. I posted a link to my album on flickr. Hope you guys can see them.

    Thanks for sharing the photos (thank Paul for taking them also). They turned out great.
