XS CarNIght 2017 - Long Beach, Shoreline Aquatic Park

Setting the groundwork for spring events was XS CarNight. XSCN comes in hot for its 3rd year in a row and each year gets better and better. Hidden away behind the Aquarium of the Pacific and adjacent to Pier Point Landing, a spot for deep sea charters. XSCN has a stunning view of Shoreline Village and the Queen Mary while accompanied by the Rainbow Lighthouse above.I arrived shortly after 6 o’clock after fighting traffic with prom going down at the Aquarium of the Pacific. I met up with Brian from Infinite Auto Design as he escorted me in. The sun was about the drop and just about every photographer was out trying to capture the perfect shot at that perfect time.The main stage was surrounded by a entourage of RWB's, including our friend Jon Sibal's 964 on Work Meisters.I caught a few shots like the drop-top e30 with a Pandem kit executed by CA Tuned.Busted Knuckle Garage had a very clean set up with air-cooled dubs.Arthur’s StanceNation x Aimgain FR-SAs the sun dropped, shadows were in almost every shot. I waited a few moments and then pulled out my night weapon of choice and continued with the event shots.Ron’s Amuse S2k was one of the first with bright red Volk Racing wheelsDucati 1299 Panicle SLiberty Walk R8All Road Outfitters Audi QuattroEuroKlasse’s F80 M3Thanh’s Vlene FR-S in the darkness by AutoTuned.By the time i reached Thanh’s FR-S, it was practically pitch black. The only lights were along the path, and the interior portions of the peninsula was in complete darkness. Vehicles began to leave and left a open playground to capture the remaining.Violent Clique was in full effect.Chris’s MK5 on Work Seekers SXFausto’s S2k on chrome and gold 3-piece WORK MeistersGeorge’s e36 with Weds Kranze CerberusTaking it back to the old school classic euros was...3 Point Social Club with a set of classic Benz’s such as Jimmy’s 280eAs participates cleared I had more walking space.
