Imports @ UCI 2011 Car Show

Saturday, February 26th, 2011

This past weekend we heard UCI’s (University of California, Irvine) car club “Imports@UCI” was holding their 5th annual car show!

UCI has always had a great import car culture! Back in early 2000 to 2004 we’d often meet at UCI with our groups of Honda’s, Acura’s, and BMW’s.  Now it’s 2011, 7 years since I’ve last been to any UCI event or meet, I figured there had to be much change to UCI’s car culture.  To my delight there was more then the usual Honda’s, Acura’s, and BMW’s.  There was lots of friendly people and an all around good time vibe going.

Despite the weather there was a great turnout!  Lots of awesome cars, great sponsors, free food, free nos, the ladies from Drifting Pretty, and much more!

We’d like the thank Imports@UCI for putting together a great event.

Can’t wait for UCI’s next car show ^_^!

The highlight of the event was an open invitation car show for cars of all makes and models. We had all sorts of cars show up! Here are a few pictures of some of the hot cars in the show!

There were two winners for the car show. One for “EDO’s Choice” and one for “Crowd Favorite”. The winner for the EDO’s Choice award was Mike McGuiness and his 2004 Subaru WRX Wagon and the Crowd Favorite award went to David Chavez for his 2007 Subaru WRX-TR. Both car show winners received a Defi gauge package and a trophy as a prize.

There was even an hourly raffle, containing lots of prizes donated by many vendors including Zero/Sports, Works, Chimera Performance, South Coast Subaru, D-Wolf, Subie Sport, Motul and many more. The grand prize for the raffle was a brand new set of Defi Gauges, won by Joseph Cruz.

We we’re grilling it up with burgers, dogs, chips and soda for everyone in attendance.
