Talking Very Cool Sighting - Sacto Area

Saturday Afternoon - Sacramento Area

So I made the drive from San Jose to Sacramento this past Saturday to have my car shot for an Aussie magazine. The weather sucked and my car was a royal pain in the arss to clean up after the rainy drive.

About half way through the photo session I hear a familiar exhaust rumble. Out of nowhere comes I really nice blue WRX. Keep in mind, we are in the middle of an industrial park, on a Saturday afternoon, with no one around. Needless to say, I was a little surprised to see another modded Subaru roll past. I gave him a big wave as he drove by. I forget his name (my bad) but he stopped, backed up and hung out for a little while.

Even more surprising, he takes off and then rolls back to the shoot with a few of his buddies. They arrive in a clean RS. Several of the guys sporting BAIC hoodies I might add. Just got to love it.

I apologize for not remembering you guy's names but thanks for swinging by. Always nice to meet other BAIC folks.

Cheers,

Ben

I had no idea your shop was right there. It would have been great to see your place. Maybe next time.
