Not after last years fiasco down there.

What happened last year?

[liquidcipher]

It was a personal fiasco, not anything really at the show. I got in the first car accident of my life with my brand new to me '04 S4. APR had a problem with my ECU tune that bricked my ECU so my car was stuck down there for a week, and I was forced to take a train home through NYC and then to Boston because the couldn't fix my car in time and I needed to get back to work. Then it took them another week to get the car back up here for me. Props to APR for coming through for me in the end, but overall it was just a big horror show and I didn't think the show was all that great. Any of the big deals they had there were also all available online, and most of the cars that were in booths were cars from the New England area that I'd already seen. The best part of the entire show for me was the cruise down.

Hey Liquidcipher, sorry to hear bout what happened last year at Waterfest. Sounds like it was a major fiasco.
I have only been to 1 Audizine event so far and havent seen many of the New England cars yet.
Knowing this, is it worth it for me to check out Waterfest?

Last year was my first time there and I spent a ton of time dealing with my "issues". I'll say since you haven't been, you should probably go, it was fun. You get to see all the tuners, and meet some great people. The after-hours events are where the real craziness is, and it really depends on if you are into that scene or not.

Sorry for the music on the second one, but you get the idea. That all said, everyone I went with last year said it was the worst Waterfest they had been too, and that the quality of the show was in decline. They all suggested H20i was the show to go too as its a week long enthusiast event and the show itself is much much better.

Thanks liquidcipher for the info and sending the vids. Ya I dont think Waterfest is going to be my scene. I might check out H20 international though. I think its in Maryland. So have to see how that works out. Looking forward to some Audizine gtgs as well.
