This past weekend Vivid did it again at the Richmond International Auto Show hosted by Motor Trend. Again we hosted the Tuner Salon and was it a success. We handed out hundreds of business cards and talked to many of spectators. Motor Trend is always the best way for us to advertise Vivid. Representing Vivid were me, Tara, Lauri, James, Tina, Jo, & Alex. Thanks to Elvin, Dan, Ray, Wendy, Mike B., Damon, Matt, Vince, Katrina, Rio, Megan, Justin, Chris, & Betty for coming down to Virginia and supporting V.I. As the other Motor Trend’s, the show had mainly all the new concept cars, nothing exciting, but always nice to check them out. I had an interview with Richmond Magazine & Richmond.com advertising the club and answering questions about our cars. It was quite exciting. As always, we had a good time at the show, had a great time partying at the hotel, and as always, just had good old V.I. fun. We like to thank Motor Trend for having us again in ’04 for Baltimore & Richmond and hope to do the shows again in 2005. Our next show is the Central Baptist Church on March 27th. This show is the one that kicks off our local show season. This season is looking to be a good one so far. I hope to see everyone there!
