MaydayGarage has teamed up with our good friends at SpeedHunters to bring you the MaydayGarage/SpeedHunters All Japanese Nostalgic Car Meet Friday, April 1st!




Located in the heart of Downtown Houston, this meet will take place at MoonTower Inn, Houston's BEST hotdog stand serving exotic meats such as duck, wild boar, pheasant, lamb, venison, and rabbit all served on a warm pretzel bun. MoonTower Inn is also known for their excellent draft beer and huge outdoor venue. A popular spot for cyclists and foodies, MoonTower Inn is also hugely popular with the best chefs in Houston.

This meet will be held on the streets (very wide) surrounding MoonTower Inn and will start at 5pm sharp. If you want to get your classic JDM ride some serious exposure on MaydayGarage and SpeedHunters' blogs, be sure to be there before 7pm where the sunlight is at it's optimum.



This All Japanese Nostalgic Car Meet is geared towards all Japanese makes pre-1990. Whether they are Datsun 510's, 240Z's, Toyota Coronas, Celicas, AE86's, Mazda RX3's, RX-7's or Honda Civic EF's, everyone is welcomed to attend and both MaydayGarage and SpeedHunters will be looking for unique rides to feature.



So come out and have some great beer and an exotic hotdog and meet your fellow JDM Classic brethren!

Do you think it's fixable in the next 24-36 hours?

The Weather Channel is forecasting good things for this Friday.

Just viewed your coverage of the Miata Meet -- photos turned out excellent. I'll definitely try and attend, if for no other reason than to try and sneak into a pic and eat some mean grub.

Yeah, I'm glad you and Hoang came out. Why'd you guys have to leave while the sun was still up?

Clean cars gentlemen.

To the Organizers: I know I met you guys, but I totally forgot your names....sorry. I just want to say, I loved the atmosphere and the turnout. It was an amazing event. Being from the Norhteast, I haven't been to many events like this. It was awesome! Thanks for putting on a good time! Also, I was humbled that many people liked my bone stock 1st gen RX7. lol
There were a crapload of waaaay nicer cars than mine. Again, thanks! And I can't wait for the next one.
