Default Went for a cruise. Pics

Me a few buddies of mine went for a cruise through Bucks County PA this past Wednesday. The roads out there are ******* sweet. very curvy and tons of elevation changes. I really put my car's handling abilities to the test. Never really pushed her to her limits before this day I have to say I am very impressed. But anyways, I'll post some pics of the day...
This is me driving on the Atlantic City Expressway towards PA. My friend Rick took this picture from his Miata:

Driving. Picture taken by me. My friend Gino's 07 Honda S2000 in front:

By far my favorite pic of the trip. From furthest to closest we have: 2005 Dodge Neon ?????, 2003 Acura RSX Type-S, 2007 Honda S2000, 1999 Mazda Miata, And my 2000 Pontiac Trans Am. And of course, not one car has a "slush-box" automatic:

N/A ???!

Boost FTL! His aftermerket blow-off valve was stuck open (we think).

And by about 4:30, we were the only ones CORE enough to stay till about 7:00:

A surprisingly nice pic I took while driving, of the Deleware River:

And for some reason, question marks are showing up in place of S R T 4 and F T W.
Also, heres a cool vid:

I'm the fastest in a straight line. The S2000 would hand me my *** on a curvy road course though. Thanx for the compliment LS1BLKSS. I know theyre no fellow F-bodies, but I figured I would post some pics up of mine and maybe get a few compliments there. And for the record, I am completely AGAINST ricers and so is everyone in this group. The S R T 4 does have a CF hood, but he bought it like that. The only mod he has done is a Blow off valve. The RSX is all about handling. Coil-overs on all four corners, 18s, and an intake, no fart can exhaust. The S2000, is an awesome car, handles ungodly and is right behind be in a straight line. The miata... well OK its a little gay, but its fun as hell to drive cuz its so small.

i never understood why s r t 4 was made question marks, but i just assumed that it was because nobody on here seems to like them. nice pics even though its not quite the cruise i expected haha. Its fine i usually cruise with mustangs and im sure people would hate on my pictures more then yours.

The reason there are question marks is b/c the mods wanted everyone to except the fact that it is a Neon! And The other F T W was way to overused. That's my tech history for the day.

I live in Bucks County and it is full of rice!! There are alot of nice roads all over New Hope. Aquatong and both the Street Roads near New Hope are a good time.

Nice pics man! In the first pic you car looks almost orange. Pretty sweet though. Looks like you had fun. And for anybody that says your cruising with rice. As long as it don't have neons, huge fart can, or anything else that makes it looks like rice than its not rice IMO. I cruise with my buddies to and the don't have F bodies.....

Thanks for the compliments guys. Yea, I dont know why my car came out orange in that pic. The S2000 does have full exhaust, but it definately doesnt have the typical fart can sound. sounds nice.

i think people need to grow up and be more open minded! No matter if its a neon or vette, someone is still taking the time and effort to work with what they have. If all hes friends drive imports then fine! Nice pics and keep the cruising going.
