This past weekend V.I. showed at the 45th Annual Baltimore World of Wheels at the Baltimore Convention Center, just 2 days after Motor Trend, just what we needed, another weekend at the Convention Center, but that is our thing, we like to be everywhere. Showing for Vivid were me and Jo. Thanks to Elvin, Tina, Mike B., Matt, Justin, James, Wendy, Dan, Lauri, Jess, Kurt, Scott, Mike, Amber, Kris, and all the other members (sorry to forget anybody) for your support. This show is majority for Hot Rods, but as in many shows, there is always a spot for Tuners. The show was full of hot looking Rods, Full Size vehicles, Tuners, Lowriders, etc. Please check out the pics to see for yourself if you missed out. Some of the Celebrities there were, Stacey Keibler from WWE, Lee Ermey from Full Metal Jacket, a.k.a. Gunnery Sgt. Hartman, & Dennis Cage from My Classic Car. Some of the local clubs in attendance with Vivid were, Full – FX, who took Best Club Display, Sudden Impact, & Street Illusions. The worst part of this whole event was when it was time at the end of the show for me and Jo to pick up the tiles from our display, they were not fun. I personally never want to see blue tiles again. In the end me and Jo both took 2nd place plaques in our classes. Jo for Honda & me for Toyota. A small, but successful, clean sweep. The next show for us is the Annual Ocean City Custom Car and Hot Rod show down good old Ocean City. A get away for us for a show and some V.I. fun. I hope to see everyone there!
