You certainly meet a variety of "characters" at SZ. Everything from a "stick in the mud" like me to someone like Elky  This guy is a trip, from his mad camcorder action to his "Wolverine" or original "Gone in 60 seconds" guy beard/sideburns combo, you've just got to be there in person to see these people. Some people are about the same as they are on the boards, again like me, straight forward, boring, no drinking, no smoking guy to someone like FrenchblueC2. Now this girl has a great sense of humor and goes with the flow. Around a bunch of car guys and fitting in very well Then you get "Zoom-Zoom Diva", a CEG original, no doubt about it. This guy really goes with the flow and always has something nice to say about everyone. From his flamboyant persoanlity, wild Dragon shirt, car color matching hair color and his true love for all that is automotive, he's just another example of why you need to come to SZ. Then theres Kevin, Hector, AirForce and Steve, the guys I got the fortune to crash with, well they crashed on the floor, but you get the point  So I guess what I'm really sayin' is no matter what your like, chances are theres someone at these SZ events just like you, so don't be afraid to come out if you don't know anyone because we embrace everyone

I thought everyone sucked I hate you all!!!!!!! Exept for Elky.....Can't wait to see both footages of the "Mad Camera Wars"!!!!!!! Actually to meet the people who werent there last year, and the people I've never met before was awesome. GTOPete was pretty cool, but was a second runner up...Sorry Pete, I was talking to Kevin on the way home and told him this year went to Antonio. For all of the older CEGers Antonio was the man. He had one of the sweetest SVT's with 19's on this site. Meeting the man in person was definately an honor for me. Meeting the face behind Steeda wasnt really an honor, but I had a blast non-the-less. The rest of you older guys it was great to see you again also, Rog, Todd, Elky, Kim, Pete (maposhitheadfoshizzle),Tom, Rawbutt.....Did I leave anyone out...(I know Stazi, but I'm still trying to pay off the rental space from the months in his garage with my second and third born children)  I had a blast once again, and as long as I'm breathing, ya'll see me in MI next year (For my third Extrude Honing Gift Certificate!)

Great to meet everyone, but particular mention goes to:
Chicago CEG - Kevin, Steve, Hector, Phil and all the rest. You guys are a laid back, fun bunch.
Elky - nuff said.
ZoomZoomDiva!
Detailing buddy Roger.
Old school CEGers - beyondloaded, Y2KSVT, mikeyboy, todras, Stazi, xchang, frenchblue
New school characters - rawburt, Stinky Paki (Goonz)
Antonio doesn't get enough credit for always being one step ahead of everyone in mods - 18s when everyone thought they were too big; wheels with a lips when everyone was not; 19s when everyone thought they were way too big; slammed on GCs and Konis; using Zaino when everyone was using the cheap over the counter Meguiar's, etc.
I'm extremely happy I managed to drag Antonio's ass out of his daily life and to Spring Zing. I think he had a blast. 
I think you can count on the same Capitol CEGers making the 660 mile trek to Grand Rapids in 07.

Why thank you! 
Really, the best thing is that you can just be yourself with a bunch of absolutely awesome people. There are really too many to list, and can't list anyone to the contrary.
That's almost unheard of in any group of this size.

Who was running the Leeda Coilovers?
Was that Antonio, Pascal, or both?

every year I attend it gets better for me. It's kind of strange that I've attended SZ since 01 and only finally met a bunch of you within the last 2 years, such as the Michigan and Chicago bunch. I don't even recall SEEING some of your faces at 01 and 02, even though you were there (except maybe Chang, but how could you miss him?) So it's been really cool to meet you all and get to know you more and more each year. And each year I get to put more faces to the screennames. It makes it that much harder to go home afterward.  much <3 for da CEG characters
