i dont like to show the car until its done.

it kinda defeats the purpose because it takes away from the awe factor.

if ppl see a car that 95% done, then the owner finished the other 5% and shows everyone theyre like o well, big deal, its only a couple more things.

whereas, if you wait and show it when its 100% done it just makes the reveal that much better.

(i do know what you mean with a car is never done though)

i prefere to think of it as diff versions though. lol

 

i was just gonna say... a car can never be 100% done

 

x2.

i thought merc's was completely done; then he changed his color scheme. so proves there's always something you'll want to do or change

 

Rumor has it that APG sold them..... Guess there will be changes for mostly outdoor events for the 2009 season. Also, they will no longer be an NCCA judged event.

 

that's just it, look where I've come and gone and I'm not done. build in detail

 

like i said, i like to think of it as versions. lol

cuz while a car is never done, it can be done to a certain extent.

and i think the reason alot of ppl change it up every year isnt because they get bored of it, its because the same exact car will not win trophies at events year after year if the judges are the same.

 

you can certainly win awards year after year with the same car. been showing my xB for almost four years and hit the same show over and over. altho I was off my game in 07. I figured out how to win over the HIN judges. one is not to be stuck up about your car.

 

lol, w/ the same judges!?
if so then...good for you man! lol

 

even if the judges are the same you wont lose points by keeping the car looking the same, you might lose "originality points" but that cant hurt too much...
if your car is big in the scene ppl will just get tired of looking at it after time

but really, you should just build it for yourself and not points or anything else...

 

which is exactly why mine will stay the same (for the majority) when its finished.

ive thought about the direction i want to go for about a year now so im pretty sure ive got my mind set. lol

any luck on selling your car yet?

 

I'm planing on going to HIN in chicago. 1st time ever at a HIN's... Any output? How is it?

 

it is fun! something you have to experience yourself...

i remember my first show and how much i was stressing out to clean my almost stock tc lol

 

i didnt show my car but i went last year and it was def. fun as hell

 

Ill be going this year for sure with a couple of my buddies... I'm diff not showing my car lol... Are there a lot of scions in the show?

 

last year like all of SE:Chi was showing.
id say at least 30% of the cars there were scions. lol

 

WOW!!! That's crazy... Any chances of Chris Rado or Ken Gushi showing up hehe...

 

i doubt it.
its not a scion sponsored evernt, it just so happened that alot of scions showed up because they have been dominating the car scene lately. (poor hondas are getting shoved in the back, lmao)

 

hehe... Thats right.... 4 of my buddies are honda owners that are coming up there with me. But were all cool..

 

i think nightshift is more fun than the indoor one. but thought nightshift 07 was better than this year. this year seemed like everything was too cramped together.

 

only way to see the race drivers is if their schedule intercepts ours. highly unlikely altho Chris Forsberg was at Nightshift this year. wouldn't been neat if took his car out for some powerslides
