local car show

well saturday there was a local car show held at our mall. i wasn't going to enter my car because we had to have our cars there at 7 in the morning and i had to work. but anyways my friend came early in the morning and picked up my car and entered it. i didn't show up until noon and my friend(darrin) said that everybody was gathering around my car and videotaping it. which is cool. anyways i walked around and looked at all the cars that i was in competition with and every single car that i was up against had one of those fake intercooler things, how gay is that. all the cars were so riced out it pissed me off i mean most had a huge wing and front bumper and then some rims . so everybody was like man you'll win so easy. but when it came down to it i lost and actually i didn't even place. then when it came down to viewer choice i knew i would win because i knew at least 200 people that had voted for me. well the people that set it up were in a hurry so they just drew a name from the box. guess what i didn't win. well i got pissed and went to talk to the judges and found out that they were from the car club that had won every single trophy . so that was f***** up. so me being pissed i asked the guy "how much extra hp does the fake intercoolers give you cause i bet you that i'll smoke all of your cars ." well he got pissed and the security made me leave the mall . well i just thought that i had a pretty interesting weekend and just thought i would let you guys know.

I've never incountered rice to the degree of fake intercoolers. I did not know ricers were that knowledegable about cars to make the corrolation that cars with turbos have intercoolers. That sucks tho but who cars, show it in a real show and place then come back the next year with a big phat trophy to add to your display....

well it's just bs that they got to judge and it seemed kind of funny that their cars got 1, 2, 3, and 4. o and a guy from their club that didn't get a trophy got viewers choice. i know now that if i want to win in a show next time i need to take off my turbo and get one of those fake intercoolers. maybe with that i'll run 12's.

yeah i've never seen the fake intercoolers either but it was so funny because they had about 20 cars in their club and every single one of them had one of those and an intake, they had to have been making well over 400whp(especially with their wings). yeah it was even funny one of the judges didn't even know i had a turbo even though i left my hood open the whole time and my friend even said that when they judged they stood looking at my engine for like ten minutes. he asked my friend if all i had was an intake and some headers and my friend just laughed.

We went to a local car show one year, and my entire club brought their cars. I had my 94 civic back then. The judges never looked at our cars, and of course we never won anything. The president and the vice president went up to see what was going on and it turned out they owners of the car club didnt want us to be judged because our club name sounded just like theirs and they didnt like that. We were all pissed. We got into our cars and were smoking our tires and doing donuts in the lot. Such bullshiet
