For those of you who weren’t able to attend the Jalopnik Hurricane Relief Show in Newark, here’s some of the cars that were present. (On a side note, I saw Ballaban for the first time in real life today, it’s true, he really does look pissed off all the time)
This was my first time seeing a couple of cars IRL for the 1st time. Here’s my first skyline in daylight. I can see where all the love is
My first mini as well, and a fine one at that
Ballaban’s yugo has changed for the better, hasn’t it?
There were a couple of rivalries at the show. (Yes I consider a 300HP car vs a 200HP car a rivalry)
See what I mean?
Call me crazy, but I think the plate on that evo is lying
Deja Vu
Woah, look! It’s that car named after that band from the 60's! What were they called, The Rolling Stones? This was Raph’s by the way, something I didn’t realize when I saw him or the wood trunk, just when Dusty Ventures pointed it out to me
Ah, the ideal Jag, one with the hood open and multiple people working on it
I think I read about this HF on Oppo, right?
The driver of that 86 from above would not like to see this
Stereotypical Wrangler
I want both of them.
First time seeing a Miata after NA
Unfortunately, I don’t know what this plymouth is, but I love it
10/10. Would DD if it had a bokozuku body kit
Nice FoST or FiST (?)
Some say you haven’t been a car enthusiast until you’ve owned an Alfa Romeo (and it’s broken down)
Most mint S2k I’ve ever seen
Not even going to joke about a Mercedes with its hood open
Well then, those are the cars that were present from 3:00PM to 3:45PM, when I had arrived and left, on a side note, headed out when I came in was a 911, Cayman GT4, and a 240SX convertible. On another side note, I was ready to buy a US Flag/Wrench Shirt, but just as I was headed to the stand with 20 bucks, they shut it down!

The SL and Focus ST are owned by Oppos, that hardtop Miata is also owned by a guy who came to the Tri state meet.
Chances are if you were there around 1, we crossed paths multiple times.
Edit: see you were there later, it was beyond crowded when I rolled in at 12. Seemed to die around 2:30iah

The ST is a Fost. Bigger and the hood is not aligned with the rest of the body.
That is always the biggest giveaway of a Fost vs. Fist.

Hey, I recognize the co-driver’s name on the Broken Motorsports car. It’s Santiago’s co-driver!

You have a close up pic of a bug but not the Z! Makes no kind of sense!

Very cool, I would have liked to have made the trip down but it wasn’t possible for me this weekend. Hopefully something like this happens again, it looked like a good time!

If I’m going to take a picture if a Z it has to be a glamour shot with a dslr, not a crowd picture with an iPhone 6

I hope so too, as I arrived pretty late and most of the best cars had left

Huh, good to know
I guess the one next to it was a FiST then

No offense, but the $70k TTRS is not competition to the $25k GT86. The TTRS has 400 hp vs 205 and a 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, as opposed to 6.5. Both fun sports cars, but not even close to competitors.
Also is that RCR’s MR2?

I hope there is another one soon, seeing as I came so late
I realized that I missed out when I saw a 240 convertible leaving

Me. Regular lives in Penn, so it wouldn’t be a long shot for him to come to this meet. Maybe he even did one of those RCR goes to car show videos

I’ve done a few trips with Ballaban. He doesn’t always look pissed, but it’s definitely more worrying when he’s smiling

The E28 M5 and those Mercedes are definitely not competition. Mercedes look like W123, the Mercedes are pure luxury. The BMW is a sports sedan.

Based on past experience, that’s almost certainly RCR’s MR2.

Boyd’s name was still on the car when I picked it up. Didn’t feel like spending time messing with it so I just left it.

I flew into Newark yesterday for work and was hoping to be able to swing by, but my flight was delayed 3+ hours so that was the end of that.

Sounds good. Same goes for any sort of cut vinyl - I’m probably cheapest for anything other than bulk orders. If you need anything, let me know :)
