We wanted to take some time with you guys to just hang out, talk cars and check out some cool rides that’ll surely be attending. This invite is open to all who read our blog, all of our customers and everyone out there who represents quality JDM tuning and has a love for it.

This is no business…no booths. No sales. No auctions. We are going back to the roots of it all...Just old school style hanging out in a parking lot with a bunch of likeminded people.

Please let us know if you’ll be coming out to hang with us for the night by signing up for the appropriate ticket. This is a rare occasion for us to host a get together and we hope you’ll come by to hang with us for the evening.

As this blog approaches 1000 posts I’ve learned a great deal about running a blog and specifically what blogs can and can not do. This blog has been a bit of a miracle in that it has united so many amazing people together around a central shared passion. For all of the power that blogging has to spread information and to build community, it does not as easily have the same ability to take that connectedness offline into the real world. I’d like to propose a bit of an experiment to change that.

The game plan is to take the blog offline, into the real world for an evening of meeting up, hanging out and checking out some great cars…

I am really excited to meet more of you all and I hope many of you will be attending! If you plan to attend please let me know by commenting here, on our facebook fanpage:

Bulletproof Automotive / GT-RR / Bespoke Ventures
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bullet...es/91893123527

and/or by emailing me at ben@bulletproofautomotive.com. I would prefer if you commented here however on the blog itself.

The time will be Thursday November 11th starting at 6:30pm

The location is the parking lot at the In-N-Out in the Long Beach Towne Center (this is the most central So Cal location with the biggest parking lot we could find). 7691 Carson Blvd Long Beach, CA

You can expect attendees to be blog readers, clients of GT-RR, Bulletproof and anyone with a passion for Japanese tuning.

I look forward to taking this offline with real people, real cars and real conversations.

Please let me know your thoughts and if you’d like to attend.

Our friend Jay hooked up an exclusive t-shirt collabo for our first meet event. I’m happy to show you JDM Ego’s design here for the first time!

This is made exclusively for the November 11th meet up that we’re organizing.

We’re printing up a very VERY limited run of these which will be available for those who attend the event. Rather than selling the shirts which goes against the intent of our grassroots meet-up vibe, we’re basically giving them away. After careful consideration rather than doing them for free we decided to pick a nominal figure of $5 per shirt, just to make sure that everyone who orders one is committed to attending, hanging with us and picking up a shirt.

The link for the event and link for picking up one of these shirts is found below. Sorry but we will not be shipping these shirts, they will be only for attendees and only one per person.

As expected - we have already a very eclectic mix of cars attending including GT-Rs, 370Zs, 350Zs, Evos, S2000s, etc. We look forward to hanging out with all of those who attend!
