Even though I only found out about this event 2 weeks before it was happening I knew I had to make the drive to SoCal. I have been out to SoCal about 4 times already this year covering events such as Toyota Fest, Eibach Meet, HellaFlush 5 and now the StanceNation Meet. I planned on making this a 1 day trip from Phoenix, AZ and tried to get some sleep Friday night which didn’t really happen. I did get about 2-2.5hrs of sleep in before waking up at 5am to get ready. By the time I loaded up the car, checked all my fluids and tire pressure and got gas I left Phoenix around 6am. We made awesome time on our trip since I don’t like stopping unless its completely necessary. We arrived in just under 5hrs. Not bad for a 370 mile trip. We arrived to the meeting location Island Motorsports in Buena Park at around 11am. The main parking lot and street was already packed with cars by the time we got there.
I would say there ended up being at least 100-120 cars that showed up. This meet wasn’t nearly as large as HF5 but sometimes it isn’t all about quantity but quality. The quality of the cars that came to this event was excellent. There were many cars I had not seen before at any meets or even online. I have been trying to network with a lot of the SoCal guys so when I do go to events like this it makes it more fun to have people to kick it with. The first person I talked to when I arrived was Milt (CamberSC on many forums) who drives an amazing white 350z on Gold Work VS-XX wheels. His stance is on point and one of my favorite Z’s. I also think I met just about every single other stanced out 350z owner there was at the show thanks to John Park (ParkHard). I ended up meeting so many people I can’t even remember all the names!! Another person I was looking forward to meeting was Elvis who runs StanceNation. We talked for a while about the meet and just the movement of stanced out cars in general. He also asked if I was interested in being a photographer for StanceNation to cover Arizona. Of course I accepted!!! So stay tuned and keep checking out the StanceNation website for upcoming features on cars with sick wheel fitment. I can’t wait to start lining up cars to shoot!!
