    Some D-bag in a Silverado threw himself behind me as I was backing into the parking spot at the SPI Wal-Mart. My truck was okay, just the orange kayak got hit, but I had to cover my butt in case he tried to blame me. When we exchanged info, he tried the "guess you didn't see me" bit. No, fucker, and I guess you didn't see my big ass bright truck with it's reverse lights on either :mad:

    What did your insurance say. I hope that it was his fault cause there were plenty of witnesses that saw it.

    He hasn't contacted them yet, so the claim adjuster recorded my statement and said I wasn't at fault as of now. I won't hold my breath however because the woman passenger was slobering all over the damage.

    Just for comparison guys and gals,

    this is a picture taken from the very 1st SPI meet (if it can be called that)...as you can see, not very organized. :rolleyes: But give us a break it was our "first time". pun intended haha

    [​IMG]



    THis is us the second year:
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]







    And this was us this year!!!!!


    [​IMG]



    Battle Pope, Mrs. Pib, and I, tmreyes, and svach got there a bit later, didn't get a pic of that.

    [​IMG]




    After a little bit of driving we met up with a few others in infamous Robstown Chamber of Commerce. :rolleyes: Next year, we'll just put the address for that subway haha

    We stopped at the rest area before going south of the check point

    [​IMG]


    After driving for a few more minutes we finally get to Harlingen,...



    Ignore the idiot in the middle there...

    DSCN3537_c583cd2ac5405bce4e461b3cd56294ce8961ab18.jpg




    SO we take off and drive a few more minutes down to SPI...and turn into a parking lot with this happy bunch waiting for us...

    [​IMG]





    I had originally planned on buying the burgers, buns, and condiments for the meet, but was not expecting such an awesome and large group so I ended up asking for donations.:rolleyes:

    Thank you all who pitched in! I would have spent my return gas moneys and lunch money for the week had you all not chipped in. :eek: :D

    So after going into walmart and buying everything we need, we head out for SPI finally!!!!! :woot:

    [​IMG]



    Pic by Mr.Love... :p

    us regrouping after all the stop lights in SPI

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]



    Waiting to pay to get into the beach...

    [​IMG]


    and yes, they are ALL tacomas!!!! :cool:


    [​IMG]

    well except for that little spec there at the wee end...




    teh cruise down teh beach!!!!!! yes I know it's "the"

    [​IMG]


    people be gawking!!!!


    [​IMG]



    Finally parked our happy asses.



    [​IMG]


    [​IMG]




    What are you two looking at?!?!?! :mad: I wasn't taking a picture of you!!! :p



    [​IMG]




    Couldn't get enough of your truck man!!! She looked sexy from every angle!!! :eek:

    [​IMG]


    [​IMG]


    Ha, you all never saw this picture being taken!!!

    [​IMG]





    And Oliver's truck, the truck that all of us were envious of, and he just couldn't wait till it got dark to show off his off roading lights underneath the truck :p

    [​IMG]



    and the truck that we all wanted to ride in!!!!

    [​IMG]




    Carrots on the grill...WEEEIIIRRRRDOOOOOOO!!!! :D

    [​IMG]






    AND this guy here, Matt, has been to all three SPI meets! Matt, I hope you can make it to many more dude! If you don't it won't be the same (NO HOMO)

    [​IMG]



    Did I mention that Matt's truck is 2wd?!?!?! and did I also mention that he has managed to get stuck in ALL THREE MEETS!!!!

    So Matt got stuck again this year, and well there was a tacoma right behind him, and oddly enough, that tacoma was NOT part of our lovely little group.

    Nah, he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time... and this is what happens when you are in the wrong place at...the wrong time...

    [​IMG]




    SO the driver of that truck was all like: "Dude you got sand all over my truck!!!"


    and Matt was all like:






    [​IMG]







    Here is Korben and Matt chillin' like they're in their freakin' living room or something...:rolleyes:

    [​IMG]











    so a few hours before it gets dark we get the group together to get this awesome picture:


    [​IMG]



    THank you everybody for coming out this year, I hope to see you all next year, and the year after, and the year after, and...
    the year after! :D

    and many more!!!

    well that's still up in the air for me actually, I'll be heading to the valley on the 19 of August to visit with family before the fall semester begins.

    Maybe a little later? I know you said you'll be going to thrill on the hill. Ideally I would like to make it to where as many people as possible could attend.

    Sorry I wasn't able to make it out this time. Looks like you guys set the bar high for the 2013 meet.

    I'm really surprised at the large turn out from the RGV members. Maybe we can now start doing more small meets.

    Not us unfortunately. That's a long...long....loooooong drive. If you guys would be up for a more woodsy adventure, I highly enjoy Lake Livingston and would gladly meet out there! Close to Houston and Austin folks, and closer for SA folks too :)

    Trim 1 South White Shift, you and I know each other from the (broken) SPS Cart Quality Circle, Lol. By the way did you take off your badges to dip them? I decided I want to go with black on mine.

    Ahhhh. Stinkin trim carts. I left the badges on and just taped off around then sprayed. The good thing about Plasti dip is it peels right off your paint. I know some members wanted to do a mod meet on the San Antonio thread
