Aug. 1 SoCal Sonic Owners Event: Rip-It-Up Rendezvous

[CyberGrayRS]

I couldn't make it either...totally bummed. Also, I didn't realize they were trucking cars all the way from Detroit for this..

Dam n that's a long drive

 

[NR552]

Well I made the drive up. Traffic did suck from San Diego... Took the I-5 north (ARGH, took over an hour to get to Carlsbad, CA). To the 57 North to the 210? ... 2 hours and 45 min to go 130 miles. Due to the traffic and then the 80-85~ blasts when we had good traffic flow, I netted 27.3 mpg (whoops!).

When we got there, my BringGo navigation app. blew up again, with less than 2 miles to go.

Luckily I found another Sonic RS (Black) that was just ahead of me, and followed him to the event. With the Red RS that GM had on display, there were a total of 3 Sonic RS hatchbacks there (mine being one of them).

Not a lot of cars showed up, possibly 20-25 while I was there. Still it was cool, got the hat and t-shirt.

Filled the tank down the street and left before 9 pm to get home... 130 miles in 1 hour 50 minutes.... 35.4 mpg on the return trip driving no more than 5 mph over the speed limit on cruise. :banana:

Here's the pictures.

20-25 cars? Darn, I should have showed up late and gotten my free t-shirt and hat! I was expecting them to be all given out by the time I got there. Oh well! haha

That silver hatch with the eco wheels is pretty clean. Is that a member's car? Dig the license plate too. lol

Love the blue sedan with the big wing lol. Thanks for sharing pics NR552

I wish it was huge. As it is, they probably won't waste the money to do that elsewhere now.

Is that CG under a red light?? Looks sweet!

It's probably something I made up.

That looks badass, like a chameleon paint almost

One of the many reasons I love the color. It likes to change with the surrounding. On overcast days it almost looks like a stormy green.. Best color
