Default Car Show Pix

Some pictures from the car show I attended yesterday. If you look at the pix, you will see that my car is freakin slammed like crazy. The front was sitting about 2.5" off the ground .

The show was some serious BS though. They said there was a Lexus class, but at the end of the show there were no trophies for our class. I had two friends with Scion TC's out there....the ONLY two Scions at the show and obviously they took first and second trophies. There were 6 of us Lexus guys out there...man it was messed up. To make it worse, it was an outdoors show for 9 hours! Registration was $40, and gas money to get out there and back was at least $30. The other Lexus people were IS owners, I was the only GS...gotta represent

Oh yea, it was a 9 hour outdoor show on a 100F+ hot summer day in Texas

Yeah that NSX is pretty crazy. Supercharged and all, putting down a pretty good amount of power

Sorry to hear about the mis-management. There's never a fee at any Alaskan show. trophies are supplied by vendors, sponsors and the hosting club. The GS looks great and as long as you enjoyed the cars, received props on yours it sounds like it was success.

It wouldn't be a car show if they didn't screw something up, at least it seems that way with every show I've attended. The paint on that NSX is amazing.

Sorry to hear of the trophy screw up. I feel your pain bro. Happened to me and my fellow GS owners @ some shows in Ga too. That is inexcusable to charge that much and not have the trophies to cover the classes that represent. Poor organization. Car looks smokin hot tho, and that NSX, WOW!!! Looks like the owner molded the rear wing and rear bumper, and along with the wild paint, simply amazing. AND BOOSTED to boot!!!!

Default Trophy's And Awards!

Everyone wants to win at shows,but unfortunately sometimes it's not the case! Your trophy should be the satisfaction of others looking at your ride and asking questions! You drive your trophy home after every show! That's just my way of thinking!
