WTF has the world come to. I guess I just don't understand why people would go/do something like this. The only thing that interests me about shows anymore is the girls. And most of the time, there not even that great. Just thought I would share.

Marketable yes, obviously theres some smart people out there who see an oportunity, but this is more directed towards the "consumers" who go after this stuff. WHY?!?!?!?!? It must be stopped!

universal is the ones doing the tour that is why all you can do is not go, and get people together to start somesort of anti corporate movement. same as the rave scene. it was destroyed by fukin money hungry companies looking to make a quik buck. they totally burn out the scene and give it a bad name. i asure you that in the long run when the public is tired of this stupid cheesy crap, the underground will be back

After HIN i don't feel like going to car show anymore... show cars are looking "market fake" every year.... i don't know maybe i'm changing but i rather see gutted out cars with some raw power... It's like trying to mix Lowerings and Racing kinda wierd...... anyway the
best car at HIN was a white Mercedez-Benz... lol! <- I'm i getting old or what? Hardcore racing and luxury cars WTF.. oh well..

anything NCCA Sanctioned is a good show. Period.

Most of NOPI is too yet you tend to see more mild/toned down/ downright ricey, cars at NOPI that you would see, at HIN or IREV.

I think that reason is due largley to the fact that NOPI shows are huge, outside, are marketed more, and you don't encounter many of the "Big Dogs" there. You see daily drivers and things like that.

at one car show, odd enough it was a show for muscle cars, i saw a supra that had a 10 sec 1/4 mile, with 954 hp, and 36 psi

but i usually don't go to car shows expecting to see a clean car thats not flashy but can kill alot of cars.
