This past weekend V.I. did exactly what we said we were going to do, and that is take over the Ocean City Custom Car Show. Showing for V.I. were me, James, Justin, Tara, Tony D., T.J., Artie, Shawn, Wayne, Phil, Dean, Jess, Matt, Phil, Lauri, Ray, Alex, Jesse, Chris, Lanning, & Liz. The show was almost washed away due to the rain just like last year, but it held up and let the show get in without rain, though it still was cool and cloudy. The show had some awesome cars, trucks, & bikes. The models were hot and exciting aswell. Our stay at the Rodeway Inn was somewhat a bore since the Manager was always on our case, but because we are VI, we still managed to have a great time! We walked the Boardwalk, rode some rides, ate lots of food, partied it up, and had just a good old VI time. When it came to the Awards, we knew we would be treated good, but not this good. In the end, Tara, Tony D., James, Jess, Shawn, Wayne, Artie, Lauri, Chris, Alex, Dean, Lanning & Phil all brought home trophies. That is 13 out of 21, that is a hell of a percentage! Great job VI. Our next show is this Saturday at Toyz with Noize's 2nd show of the year. I hope to see everyone there.
