PDXmas Tuner Bash

Due to wet weather conditions for the majority of the year, the Northwest is not a great place to be a car enthusiast. Some events have the ability to change that, and the PDXmas Tuner Bash is one. Held indoors at the Toyota/Scion dealership in Beaverton, there were cars for all types.

The talk of the show seemed to be the Perrin’s brand new GT-R and there was a perpetual crowd drooling over a R34 that was located inside. There were a couple VIP entrants, as well as a couple drag Supras with monster horsepower. PDXine was on hand with a booth as usual. NOS energy drink was a major sponsor, handing out enough of their product to get half the crowd completely wired. The show was dominated by the large groups of Scions and Subarus in attendance.

The area club scene showed in force, with most of the entrants being local members. For a six hour show, it never seemed to drag, definitely assisted by the DJ and perpetual music videos projected on one of the walls. As a thanks for all the toys donated, a bbq was set up and free hamburgers were had by all.

In summary, this was definitely one of the more well organized shows in the region. It was great to attend a show that was oriented towards the tuner crowd, as opposed to a bunch of cars just parked in a parking lot. If you missed it, put it on your to-do list for next year, and make sure to bring a toy to donate.
