Friday afternoon after i got off of school, i hopped into my vehicle and drove my merry way to the Houston Reliant Center on a mission to take pictures of the Signal Auto twins. My friend Danny and i show up at about 2:45 and no one is there but me, him, the bf goodrich people and the signal people. so we're standing around and all of a sudden we see Drifter X pulling out, to tune his car, so we basically got a 20 minute drift exhibition for just the 2 of us. Then as we're watching X pull back under their tent, the head guy at the bf goodrich thing comes up to us and introduces himself and invites us to stay for the afternoon, drive the test rsx type s, wrx STi's and 350z nismo s tunes they hand, and also to meet the rappers that were coming to do the same. So we spent the day with Loon, Wycleff Jean and a few other rappers. The head guy knew that we were there just for the drifting and walked up to me and asked me to come over for a second so i thought "oh shit, they're on to us, he's gonna kick us out" but he told me he was gonna get danny and i time with the twins, so i thought pictures, well they started doing ride alongs for the celebs, and all of a sudden he points to me and tells me to get in the car, so i'm like "OH SHIT!! " i was sittin in the very car that was the FOERST professional driver i ever knew who they were, Drifter X, i was in aww, it was amazing, so fast, so effortless, i'm still smiling from it. Danny got to ride with Drifter XL who he idolizes cause he's kinda big himself. To top the evening off, when we thought things couldn't get any better, the goodrich guys started handing us stuff, free stuff which is of course the best kind of stuff, and the gave us these kick ass back packs with built in speakers. By far the greatest day i've had in a LONG time

I got to see those cars today. They passed by on a trailer while I was at the gas station. I got a couple of pics, but I can't find my cable to hook up my camera to my pc.
