The Fall Import Alliance meet is being held in Bowling Green, Kentucky this year. That’s where I went to college, so I know the city. And, it’s 45 minutes away. So, I ventured down for an afternoon. Averaged 31 MPG with the 6. But, I digress. They had drag racing and drifting today, and tomorrow they’re having autocross.

I always think I’ll end up having more fun at these things than I do. I usually leave feeling old and tired, considering just about zero of the cars are anywhere close to my taste and my stock “boring” car seems more appealing (it is, after all, quiet and comfy - the fact that I find those desirable traits makes me feel even older). I didn’t bother to take my camera, so enjoy some relatively crappy iPotato 6 Plus pictures.

I had reasons for taking pictures of all of these cars. Either I liked them, or I thought they were especially weird and/or stupid. A lot of the cars there weren’t worth wasting my phone battery on.

^^ JDM imported Toyota Soarer.

^^ Dat exhaust doe. Really?

^^ I really liked this CRX. Had a lot of JDM-specific trim pieces. And the interior was totally gutted. Work in progress, I guess.

^^ There were a LOT of Skylines there. It’s almost become normal to me to see them now.

^^ The laptop says “Danger to Manifold.” Ha.

^^ That one looks familiar for some reason. (Notice the C6 with the obnoxious wing behind me. It was all stock other than that.)

^^ This thing was a monster on the track.

^^ Drift cars.

And to think...some of us grew up as kids watching this movie and wanting that Eclipse. How times have changed. This car’s stylish is REALLY showing its age and it ain’t good.

Civic or Accord? The Civic is a wagon, and the Accord is a shooting brake.

Yeah it was like a museum piece. Crazy how tastes and styles have changed.

w...WTF- The 420A?! You’re going to pay tribute to Spilner, spend a bunch of money (well, maybe not) crossing all the t’s and exclude the turbo motor?! I was having a moment and this killed it.

Nice coverage tho

Actually, that is the correct engine. The Eclipse used for the movie was just a lowly RS, which would have had the 420A in it.
