Upcoming Car Show: 2010 NOPI/HIN Show, M-I-A

Hola Miami. The fourth stop on the NOPI/HIN is rolling through Miami on August 14-15. The location has changed and it's now at the Miami Convention Center. Because it's indoors, it's strictly a car show... ONLY.

So if you are planning on attending, which you should, just click on the banner, order your tickets and type " BERNIENOPI " into the Promo Code area, and save yourself a little cash.

Let me know how it goes, since I can't shut down Miami for the second time. That first time was something else...

Wendell's Toyota Sequoia

While at the Dub Englishtown Show, I walk past this SUV and what caught my eye was the TV where the grille would be as well as the marble paint. So I had to stop and see... and photograph... and talk.



One thing about me is that I can appreciate a fully customized car that isn't loud. There is a such thing as a toned down vehicle that still completely done.











Here's the interview...



P.S. You know I can't have a TV in the rear view mirror. I'll be running off the road trying to watch the Wendy Williams Show... How You Doin'

I told you I had a lot of interviews from the Dub Show in Jersey, and I still got more coming. I wasn't playing when I was in Englishtown.

Royal Purple Upgrades Ultra Light Viscosity Racing Oil

High performance lubricant manufacturer Royal Purple has announced the newest addition to the XPR line of extreme performance and racing oils – XPR 3.1. Royal Purple’s ultra-light viscosity oil XPR 3.1 is designed exclusively for tight-tolerance, high-RPM, naturally aspirated engines running gapless piston rings. It offers excellent protection while producing maximum horsepower, and is intended for the most competitive classes such as Pro Stock, Pro Stock Motorcycle, Comp Eliminator and NASCAR (qualifying). The ultra low viscosity provides maximum horsepower when it counts, by keeping parasitic losses to an absolute minimum while providing unparalleled protection.

XPR 3.1 is an upgraded, more robust formulation of the racing oil formerly known as Racing 2005. “Racing oil has been a huge part of the Royal Purple history and it was time to update our high end product. After hours of lab testing and track time, the new XPR 3.1 emerged,” said Patrick Burris, Royal Purple Motorsports Marketing Coordinator.”

XPR 3.1 is available in five-gallon pails, and for those racers who don’t need a large quantity, it is also available in a new and more convenient one-gallon container.

Recapping the 2010 NOPI/HIN Atlanta

NOPI returned to Atlanta!!!! After three long years, this time, they teamed up with Hot Import Nights and came back to the Atlanta Motor Speedway on July 31 and August 1. Unfortunately, I had a prior engagement, so I could only go out there on August 1. But there's a part of me that is thinking that Saturday had a better turn out than Sunday. I do know that I missed Jasiel (Yung Joc to you guys), but I see him a lot around Atlanta.

I've said this many times that the 2007 NOPI was my first car show and how I thought the show was just the Funkmaster Flex Car Show. But I enjoyed myself because there were soooooo many cars. There was a variety, but they were mostly imports.

NOPI came back, but this year was a little different. It was smaller because some of the people who usually come were a little apprehensive towards the turnout. It was like I expected, mostly imports. When I was hearing about guys' thoughts about NOPI, they were a bit let down cause it was mostly an import type show. There's less Crown Victorias, Chargers, early 80's vehicles, etc but there's more Hondas, Scions, Mitsubishis. It was like I never left New York.

Let's take a looksy.

Reminds me of the days of drag racing on DPA (Deer Park Avenue, it's a Long Island thing)

(I like the curtains)



She's not just a NOPI Model, she does all car shows and she's been in music videos (That's how I know her). Check out jadacheng.com for more info about her. Don't be surprised if you see her on here again, especially cause she's from New York.

The Steelers license plate frame ruined the moment. I should have tossed it somewhere.

The owner of the bear wanted me to take the photo.

The owner of this truck said that he loves New Yorkers

Since he said that, I might as well showcase his other vehicle.

So cute

Here's the funny part, I recognized this car from the 07 NOPI. Back then, he airbrushed Biggie, Tupac, Left Eye, Aaliyah and Jam Master Jay on the car. Don't believe me???

Told you....

We all know I hate body kits on SUVs

This ain't your Daddy's Toyota Camry, and if it was, I don't think Sunshine (her actual name) would be leaning on it.

However Interviews from these two vehicles are coming soon...


There better be a 2011 NOPI Tour. I didn't see the Hot Import Nights aspect at all. For more photos, check out 2010 NOPI/HIN Car Show in Atlanta gallery at Betrueatl.com
