I think some of you are mistaken by what exactly a car show is. A car show is NOT a car meet. In our show, we judged on 5 categories. Exterior, Interior, Suspension, Performance, and Cleanliness. If some of you feel that the cars out there were "rice", then I'm sorry to hear that. Because the yellow civic is what you call a show car, and so is the orange tiburon, and a lot of the cars that were there. We're only looking for a fast civic in one category, performance. But if your fast civic has shitty paint, dents in the body, curbed wheels, or stock exterior and interior, you're not gonna win. You need to have a good bit of EVERYTHING to win a car show. That's why SSP took home a lot of trophies, because they had cars that looked nice, were well done, and fast. So, if you're calling a WELL done car rice, you need to check yourself, because it's a car show. And quality modding is what we're looking for, not a busted faded civic that can run 11's, keep that for the track. Fast doesn't work in a parking lot.
As for the 240 bashing and whatnot. You're ridiculous. It's a joke, everyone is having a good time. Maybe if you would go around and not expect people to spoon feed you and hold your hand when you go up to someone and talk to them so you can get "in", you might have had a better time. Did you think people would bite you if you went up and talked to them? Because I'm sure that if you would just go talk to people and have a good time, you may have heard that conversation a little better and realized a rhd mustang was a joke, instead of eves dropping and then trying to make fun of something you misunderstood. Next time, go around and talk to people. Nobody was really in a "clique". You might enjoy yourself some more if you just grow some kahunas and start talking to people.
And btw, on the yellow s2k, it looks like he just took off the stock airbox and put a cone filter on. I wouldn't call it rice as much as I'd call it budget modding. A pipe is a pipe. He may have lost 1 whp with it compared to a injen or name brand, but you know what? He's got $200 more in his pocket to put toward something else...
If you really want to say something negative, you should probably try and turn it into a suggestion for the show. I'm sorry if you didn't like something about the show, but, if you'd realize that it's our first show we've ever done, I think we did a pretty damn good job. Having 75 cars attend and raising over 500 bucks is pretty good. And I thank everyone who came out for that. It was an awesome turnout with awesome cars and I hope we can only make it grow from here.
